4 directories, 12 files

What's the best way to integrate all the subtitles into the corresponding MKV file?

If vobsub is image based (pretty sure it is) then it needs an OCR converter. Most streaming setups will burn the image based subs in. Honestly for 1080p and lower a modern cpu/gpu won't miss a beat.
