Starting point: MKV - Multi-track container for video, audio, subtitles. Only the selected tracks carry over, so pick audio and subtitles first. Flash-era players are gone, so convert for current browsers. Encode FLV (Sorenson Spark / MP3) from MKV at a bitrate near the source, and confirm the audio track before converting.
