To use an .mkv editor for this sounds over the top to me. :roll:

If you are using K-lite media player classic for your videos you can try this,

Start> Programs > K-lite Codec Pack > Configuration > Haali Media Splitter

Take the Options tab. Select languages and select "Subtitle language priority"

For value enter "off" without the quotes. That should turn off subtitles by default.

Hope it helps!

I'm using VLC to play it, i can turn subtitles off from the menu, but they reappear everytime i play the video.
Also, i have renamed a file but the old name appears when i play it, i don't see any other way to change the tag on it?

Edit: Ok i've found a way to rename the tag, didn't look very hard, but the subtitles problem still remains, if there is a way to delete them from VLC i'd like to know?

My apologies, I misunderstood your intent.

I'm not sure about VLC, but using the above mentioned tactic I managed to disable subtitles in media player classic on my system. Then, using SUPER video encoder, I managed to convert the .mkv to .avi format.

The resulting .avi did not have subtitles in it. I'm guessing that the 'disabling' I did was a system-wide setting, OR that SUPER just used the same decoder when it was translating the .mkv.

Is this a practical option for you? It's what came to my mind. I'll try and see if I can think up of something else in the mean-time.


This is hammering the same question again, so ignore me if this is rude, but why bother removing the sub-titles? If you can disable them from every being displayed when playing the file, isn't that enough? It's not like the subs occupy a significant amount of data-space on the file anyway.

mkvtoolnix
It will allow you to add or remove parts of an mkv file, be it audio tracks, video, subtitles, chapters etc.

This worked, thanks to both of you..

For future reference, you could also use something like avidemux to copy just the audio and video streams in to another mkv file. This kinda of tool is useful if you want to switch container formats as well, like mkv --> mp4/m4v for ipod/xbox (assuming the streams are within spec).
