Thanks for all your extensive, detailed hard work on this.  I have read both 
posts, copied your instructions and will experiment.

To add subtitles to the container is interesting, and I did not know about 
that.  This is handy to know because of -vcodec copy and -acodec copy.  I 
love those options; no quality loss in re-encoding.

Thanks again,

Bill
