Use the command line tool <a href="http://www.bunkus.org/videotools/mkvtoolnix/doc/mkvpropedit.html" rel="nofollow">mkvpropedit</a> that comes with MKVtoolnix. This program changes the flag without remuxing and it works. Was having this same problem. Use the command line tool mkvpropedit that comes with MKVtoolnix.

I was wondering if it was possible to link a subtitle stream to a specific audio stream? For instance if I have an "audio commentary" stream (in a foreign language), I would like the corresponding subtitles to be switched on automatically when (and only when) selecting this audio stream. Do you think it's possible? Thanks for the nice tutorial!

You can also set your audio and subtitle preferences separately. I think that would do the same thing with much less work.

I followed the instructions exactly and no matter what every time I finish, the file comes out with the subtitle track set to Disable instead of automatically selecting the english subtitles from the start. This program blows. I hate this program.

From the looks of this post, it works pretty much like this program but it seems to be easier to use.I used it last night for the first time and it was fast and easy to use. It gave me check boxes for all the things I could ever want to exclude. It says what language the subtitles are in, what audio format the track is in, etc. Makes it easy to figure out what to exclude and what to keep.http://www.makemkv.com/ Check out MakeMKV.
