MPEG4 doesn't allow for "soft" (track) subtitles. MKV, MPEG2, AVI do. | My System Specs |

Yes. More often than not we need only one subtitle and when it is a foreign language film we don't mind the subtitle being part of the frame and always on.  | | My System Specs | | System Manufacturer/Model Number self-assembled

Good news!

I got the .mkv to be converted to a .avi with the subtitles using Format Factory. The only downside is that the text of the subtitles has a random font size.... and that result was with the default setings for the subtitles. so I'm currently reformatting the .mkv but with the subtitle text size to a new size, rather that just default. so lets see what happens in a bit. | | My System Specs | | |

Ok so after setting the subtitle text size to 3 (4 being the default) the resulting .mp4 file (rather than .avi like the fist time) had subtitles with consistent text size! so I have succefully reformatted a .mkv to a .mp4 file.
thank you everyone for your help.

Why convert at all?
If you just want to move from MKV to MP4, just use MKV merge to Demux all tracks.
Then, use MP4box or a MP4box GUI such as YAMB, to re-mux the Audio, Video, Subs into a MP4 conatiner.
No recoding needed, and takes about 2 minutes.

No recoding needed, and takes about 2 minutes. I wonder what would happen if you just changed the filetype. Works for some filetypes. | | My System Specs | | System Manufacturer/Model Number HP, Dell, Gateway, Toshiba - 4 laptops and 2 desktops
