If your MKV has Spanish/English subs and you want them burned into video:
ffmpeg -i episode_01.mkv -vf scale=1920:-1 -c:v libx264 -crf 20 output_1080p.mp4 Use code with caution. Copied to clipboard Series Overview
TV rips or digital downloads often come in MKV or MP4 containers. Before converting, you must inspect the streams (video, audio, subtitles).
If "El Presidente" S01 file sizes are too large (e.g., 2GB per episode), you can compress them using the H.265 codec. This reduces size by ~50% while maintaining visual fidelity.
