<p>I have a MKV file with several tracks: video (MPEG4), audio (DTS EN), audio (AC3 FR) and subtitles. I wanted to extract the video and French audio, then merge them back into an MKV file.
I did this via mkvextract and mkvmerge (without any specific options). The MKV file I got is playable but the audio is shifted (by 10 or so seconds). The audio in the original file is fine for both languages (ie. it is correctly synchronized with the picture).</p>

<p>I would be grateful for any hints.
Thank you </p>
