Usually subtitles are a separate track. There are movie players that alow you to turn of the subs in .mkv files, but this can get annoying.
The subs are inside the mkv file, with a video track and audio track(s).
To remove the subtitle tracks from an .mkv movie:
Download mkvmerge and install it. (Run the file and click Next, next, next. We don't need anything else for just removing subs)
Windows - Other OS's
Put all you movie files with hardcoded subs into one folder.
Open the mkvmergeGUI
At the top, select the add button. Navigate to the folder with your mkv files. Select all of them (Ctrl A) and click OK.
Under Tracks, chapters and tags, unselect all the boxes. Select your first movie, and select the video and audio tracks.
Under Output filename, click browse and select the original file, its probably best to rename it so that you have the original (with subs) and the new version. I generally just put (1) at the end of it so I can tell the difference.
Click Add to job queue.
From the top menu, select Muxing, then Manage jobs.
When your ready, click Start.
Five movies should take about 3-10 minutes, depending on your computer.
Note: You can probably find a quicker way if your doing individual files, but this works well for bulk sub removal)

Agree with Zia - misleading information Zia's right - it's _not_ about removing harcoded subs, the title has to be change. |

False information Sorry dude, the method you described is for muxed (not hard-coded) soft subs... Hard subs are the one embedded in the video stream; as in the movie contains imprinted subtitles... They are almost impossible to remove, though there are a few very advanced, very complex image/video processing techniques which will remove hard subs but they will, nonetheless, affect the overall quality of the video by a huge margin. Please correct the title of the post... |
