Hello my fellow master Humpers!

I request your aid. What is the easiest and fastest way to batch convert audio inside MKV-files to AC3 AND extract/export all embedded subtitles? Preferably in one program and even more bonus if it supports batch jobs.

I have found one program that can batch convert audio, it's called Popcorn Audio Converter, works wonders but I also want to export the subtitles. Plex doesn't like embedded subtitles with my TV so it has to transcode each time whereas if I have external SRT files it's not a problem.

Plez halp! Whirling cane

For extracting streams from MKV (including muxed SRT), there's MKVExtract from MkvToolNix package, but it's a command line app, so I recommend gMKVExtractGUI as graphics front-end for it.

The best tool I've found to open MKV-files and add/remove audio/subs/whatever (and set flags etc.) is MKVToolnix, a free tool. It doesn't include encoding since it's basically a multiplexer but do support batch jobs. Perhaps not what you're looking for but worth to check out if you want to add/remove subs and/or set flags, fix bitstream for MKV's that are troublesome to play etc.

EDIT: and I just noticed it was already mentioned.
