 files of a movie or episode.
 The easiest way to achieve a seamless movie experience is to concatenate the two
 movie files.

+This can be done with
+[ffmpeg](./linux/ffmpeg.md#concatenate-multiple-video-files-with-matching-audio-tracks).
+
+### Naming Subtitles of movies or tv shows
+
+Subtitles can be written into video files.
+If that is the case an additional naming of the file is not needed.
+This section especially targets `.srt` files but the naming conventions
+translate to other file types aswell.
+Files containing subtitles are named the same as the video file they relate to
+The only difference is the file extension.
+After the name of the file the language of the subtitles is indicated by the
+[two-letter country code](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ISO_3166-1_alpha-2),
+for example `.en` for english.
+After that `.forced` can be added, if the subtitles are forced.
+Lastly the file extension `.srt` is appended.
+The complete subtitle file look like this:
+`movie_(1234)_-_brd_uu.en.forced.srt`.
