HandBrake

Is there a command line switch to omit (remove) all subtitles during conversion?

Just... don't include subtitles.

FFmpeg has the '-sn' switch.
Does Handbrake have a similar switch?
Poring through the Handbrake docs it appear it does not.

I'm guessing it involves fiddling about with enumerating streams & figuring out how to omit them.
I'll figure it out myself.

You did not read the answer exactly. Handbrake will not include subtitles by default, so there is no need to switch off anything. Subtitles will only be included if you request so explicitly.

With respect, the answer was very terse...

In the GUI, 'normal' preset, subtitles are set to 'any'.
Removing 'any' prevents subtitle streams being encoded.

Now I finally learn the CLI version ignores subtitles by default.
Thank you for this information.
That is what I needed to know.
