What’s the best way to integrate all the subtitles into the corresponding MKV file?

    Yeah, mkv can handle VOBSUB. I just prefer text based like srt or ass since you can edit the subtitles to get better timings or changing font/ colour or fix spellings really easily. I also find the VOBSUB a bit blurry around the edges of the text.

    If you’re happy with the VOBSUB, then the last bit of code above will merge them with the mkv file and they should be automatically on when using vlc.

    Thanks for the links, I was thinking about how outdated vobsub2srt was and definitely want to try these instead!
