Limits
Starting point: MKV - Multi-track container for video, audio, subtitles. Only the selected tracks carry over, so pick audio and subtitles first. Seek indexes can be sparse, so verify duration after conversion. Encode F4V (H.264 / AAC) from MKV at a bitrate near the source, and confirm the audio track before converting.
