That’s precisely why I held off for so long and only started doing it in the past month. I wasn’t willing to struggle with multiple tools and command line editing. When I found that tool I listed above (they really need to come up with an acronym!), I was ecstatic that there finally was a single tool to do everything I needed. You set it up, it rips, creates subs, merges to MKV, and (optionally) deletes the remains. While you have to install multiple programs, that GUI just needs to know where to find the .exe’s and it does the rest for you.
