I have a MKV video I want to convert to MP4, but every which way I try and convert it (Handbrake, WinFF, FFmpeg, MEncoder,...) I lose the video's subtitles. How can I convert the video, keeping the subtitles, or add a subtitles .srt?
I also would like 2-pass encoding with a video bitrate 4054 and audio bitrate 160.
Thanks.
I was asked for the ffmpeg -i:
