However my question was about altering the m4v file AFTERWARDS. Why afterwards? It is best to do it the first time, in a single go. Each conversion is lossy.
Here it is again..
You do realize, I trust, that each track -- whether it is video, audio, or subtitles -- is a separate part of the file. If you simply strip out one subtitle track, you do not affect the video or audio tracks in any way. So I do not understand your comment about "each conversion is lossy".
I did not see that the goal was to strip some tracks, and copy the rest. I thought that the purpose was "convert", which to me has a meaning of compressing again, or changing the format or codec (after all, the subject line says "compressing"). That conversion is lossy.
PS: Short answer about the previous mess that got sent... enigmail settings were wrong, and the message got garbled when I tried to change them on that message.
