Please please please add subtitle support and a question about audio containers

[roadhazard]

I have lots of MKV files with soft-embedded subtitles. I need to cut out random parts of the videos but need to keep the subtitles. I absolutely love Avidemux's ability to cut my files and would be willing to pay a couple hundred dollars for a lifetime license or a perpetual monthly fee of say $5 if you add the ability to handle subs. Is this feature on your roadmap? LosslessCut does this but no matter what I try, I can't get a perfect cut when the MKV segments are merged back together. I always end up with this weird SPLIT second glitch at the spots I removed despite cutting on key frames. When I chop the same sections with Avidemux, they're perfect.

2nd question/request. When I import my MKVs into Avidemux, they'll often have multiple audio tracks. Example: English AC3, English DTS, Director Commentary, etc. When I chop up an MKV file, the output file lists all those individual audio tracks as: Track 1 [English], Track 2 [English], Track 3 [English] etc. When Avidemux is saving the new file, can it retain the original names for the audio tracks?

Thank you

Have you done the SRT thing? SRTs will provide you the subs you need (for MP4s in VLC, anyway), and when editing the video, cutting parts out or whatever, well, you literally have your work cut out for you ; SRTs can be edited, but it's a lot of painstaking manual effort to change all the timestamps after the points of edit, and depending on how much dialogue there is, you could be looking at thousands of individual captions that need their timestamp adjusted to the new timestamp, post-edit.

I dunno if this helps you at all, or if I am even in the ballpark of your issue, but there it is, anyway.
