Muxing= the easiest job in fansubbing. First pick up mkvtoolnix from here. Install and run mkvmerge GUI, you should get a window that looks like this.(without the files) Posted Image Click add, locate your video file and click open, do the same for your subtitle file. You will see three files in the tracks box, one for the video, one for the audio, and one for the subtitles. If this is all you want click start muxing you should get this. Posted Image It'll mux to the same directory as the original unless you change it. And thats it for the basic mux. If you want to add chapters(which allow you to skip to different points in the video) click on the chapter editor tab, then the chapter editor drop box -> new chapter. Posted Image In the chapter box, you will see "(new chapter file)" (you may have to click it). Click the add chapter button and a (not sure what you'd call it) chapter should appear. Highlight it then enter the start time of the chapter and the end time, the format is standard (HH:MM:SS). You can also name it. Posted Image Repeat for any additional chapters. You will need to save your chapter file now, its in the drop box. Click save not save to matroska file. I usually save it in the same directory as my project video. Now you will need to load the file into mkvmerge so click on the global tab. Click browse locate your file click open. Posted Image Click start muxing and your done. Easy right. You can also attach files to your video(which usually consists of fonts), but I don't really care about that so I'm not going to write anything on it. Now if you want to extract a subtitle from a video file download this file. Run the MKVextractGUI.exe you should get this.(without the files again) Posted Image Click the button that is next to the input field, locate the file you want and click open. Select which tracks you want to extract and hit extract. It extracts the file to the location of the original file. And your done, easy again. Edited by Langes01x, Jul 19 2009, 12:18 AM.

I hate to say it Doomsayer but that isn't encoding. That's just muxing a raw and the subtitles together. Real encoders filter the video to make it look better and compress the video so that the video is a certain size. That being said good tutorial on muxing. |

True I keep calling it encoding though, besides I wrote that at 5 in the morning so I wasn't thinking to straight. I'll change the title to represent what I was talking about. EDIT: never mind I can't I need to be a mod, if any mod feels like changing the title go ahead and do so. Just change the word encode with mux. Edited by Doomsayer, Jul 18 2009, 03:33 PM.
