I've no idea if this fits your needs, but I always use mkvmerge (from the mkvtoolnix package) to create MKV files from (e.g. mp4 plus srt sources).

Is a mp4 and mkv the same file? I am used to the mp4s but this mkv seems to be getting around now.
They are both container formats but are not the same. MKV (Matroska) containers can be nested and contain multiple audio and/or subtitle tracks, and I think are in some ways more flexible than MP4s, e.g. I've often created MKV files that contain MP4s (and VLC can play them), but maybe someone who knows what they're talking about should chip in here.
