Description

YTDL does not currently seem to merge subtitles into mkv output files, instead leaving a separate subtitle file beside the regular output file.

I would like it to automatically merge subtitles in addition to video/audio since mkv supports subtitle streams.

Other output formats that support subtitle streams could do with the same feature.
