Deleting hard-coded subtiles

Is there a way to set up post-processing to use mkvmerge to delete hard-coded subtitles?

If they are hard subtitles, they are part of the video data and can't be removed.

If they are subtitle/text streams included in the file container (much more common these days), you can use a script like this: http://forum.videohelp.com/threads/3432 ... -container

I can't seem to figure it out. I have tried setting the Post-Processing options the following way

Program/batch file: C:\Program Files (x86)\MKVToolNix\mkvpropedit.exe
Parameters/arguments: %V -d track:2

Program/batch file: C:\Program Files (x86)\MKVToolNix\mkvpropedit.exe
Parameters/arguments: %V -d track:s1

Any suggestions?

I have tried the following:

Quote:

C:\Program Files (x86)\MKVToolNix\mkvmerge.exe

Quote:

-o %F%T.S%SE2E%EP2.%EX --language 0:eng --default-track 0:yes --forced-track 0:no --language 1:eng --track-name 1:Main --default-track 1:yes --forced-track 1:yes -a 1 -S -T --no-global-tags %V --track-order 0:0,0:1 --title "S%SE2E%EP2: %ET"

With the following result:

Hi

I don't know too much :-)

but the quotation marks here look wrong:
-o "C:\Users\User\Videos\TV\How I Met Your Mother""How I Met Your Mother".S09E07.mkv

Thanks
