How to remux MP4/MKV files using GUI?
So I have MKV/MP4 with multiple audio tracks and multiple subtitle tracks.
I want to remux the video so only 1 audio and subtitle is present. On OS X, I currently use a tool called MP4Tools/MKVTools.
It lets me select/tick which tracks I want in the output file. (apologies since I cannot find a video on my Mac that has multiple audio/subtitles).
As can be seen from the screen (one with red line), subtitles are process in 2 ways. burned (video will be reencoded) and mux (video will NOT be reencoded). --I would like to have both options. And video and audio both have a passthrough option which I would like to have.--
I've looked at the MP4tools "package" and it seems it's just a frontend to ffmpeg. I'm hoping there's something similar in Linux/Ubuntu.
Thanks :)

Check out mkvtoolnix. Think it might do what you need it to.
Edit: sudo apt-get install mkvtoolnix mkvtoolnix-gui
You can use my dmMediaConverter (ffmpeg GUI) and choose to burn the subtitle because mp4 container does not accest subs. If you choose mkv as output then there is no trouble. Just disable autio streams that you don't need. This process is without reencoding so it is very fast and no quality loss. Enjoy!
Handbrake does all these things and more.
Can be installed with sudo apt-get install handbrake.
