Convert .mkv to .avi and merge subtitles using bash.
Converting a .mkv file to .avi is easy using this command. It should also merge the standard subtitles. The only problem is that the .avi is still large.
user@server:$ mencoder "video.mkv" -ovc lavc -lavcopts vcodec=mpeg4:threads=8:vbitrate=3000 -oac copy -o video.avi
