[ASK] Is muxing and extracting affect quality

Hello everybody. I am new to this forum. I am new about video & audio encoding and I am learning it by researching through the internet. I have a question, please help me.

"Is extracting & muxing affect the quality ?" (example: in order to include subtitle from my own language on a mkv; and remove the unneeded one, I must extract the streams and muxing it with the new subtitle; minus the subtitles that I don't need). I prefer all streams (in this case: subtitle) contained in just 1 file (just the mkv), buat if the process of extracting and muxing will degrade its quality, I think I have to leave it on separate subtitle file when played. I am using GUI based mkvextract and mkvmerge on that process.

Thank you everybody and I am sorry for my bad English, because it is not my native language.

You don't have to worry about quality of video, audio or subtitle when you are only re-muxing your files. The original streams remain intact, they're only re-packaged to same (or different if wanted) type of container=output file.
BTW Welcome to the forums, you'll surely find answers to all your questions around here

Thank you

Thank you for your quick answer "kypec". Now I am confident to merge subtitle on my own language into the container since the quality will not degrade. I will do it on my entire collections.

I think on this case it looks like archiving with zip or rar (the contents will not change) or something like that, is that correct ?

Yes, I think I will learn much in this forum, I have read many threads here now, learning some newby guides, and I think many friends here have high knowledge and willing to help each others. Thank you.

The quality of the files used will not change just from muxing and extracting them again. Thats only an issue if your re encoding the files.

No need to extract. Open the MKV, uncheck the stream you don't need and add your new one, then mux.
