To Mux or Not to Mux, that is the Question.

みんなさん、今日は!
When we complete our releases, would you prefer muxed .mkv files, or would you prefer individual files?

The later would allow you to select only your desired files during the hashcheck so you don't have to download things that you prefer to not have, such as English dubs. The disadvantage is that you will have to manually mux everything into an .mkv before you can enjoy the film.
The prior would mean that you have to download all audio, subtitle, and video files in one package. The disadvantage is larger download size and wasted bandwidth. To remove undesirable dub(s), you will have to manually demux and remove them, then remux again. The advantage is that the files will be ready for playback right after download.

If you do not know how to demux and mux, you can check out our guides which cover demuxing and muxing. You will need TsMuxer and MeGUI to do this.

Your pick, I'll be looking forward to your comments below.
