## The answer
There are several flags in Matroska with confusing or unclear names ("default", "forced", "enabled"). In addition mmg uses similar terms ("default") in drop-down boxes for other controls, not only these flags. This entry tries to explain what those flags mean to the Matroska, for playback, and also how mmg and therefore mkvmerge decide how to set them depending on the values the controls are set to.

Leaving a flag (no matter which flag) on the "default" settings means the decision whether or not it should be set is up to mkvmerge. mkvmerge usually takes the information provided by the source container into account. For some flag types (especially the "default track" flag) there are other considerations as well.
