I like to digitize some of my movies so I can easily play them without having to deal with discs and whatnot. Plus, y'know, backups in case of scratches.
Anyway, I've been doing my DVDs for years, and have used Handbrake to compress to single files with all audio tracks and optional subtitles. Never had any issues before.
I recently got a Blu-Ray drive, and have used MakeMKV to rip the disc. When I try to compress the files with Handbrake using my normal settings (usually one of the Generic Presets with the added audio/subtitle tracks), it always burns in the first subtitle track (not the Forced Audio Scan), provided a subtitle track has been included.
I've tried different discs, un-checking the Forced Audio Scan 'Burn In' checkbox, double- and triple-checking that the non-Forced subtitles aren't set to be burned in, but to no avail.
I know that the subtitles are optional on the MakeMKV output files, as they're off by default when I play them. As far as I know there are no subtitle settings in MakeMKV, and I've made sure my language settings on that app are set to English.
Steps to reproduce the problem (If Applicable):
1. Rip Blu-Ray using MakeMKV.
2. Drag file into Handbrake.
3. Using General Preset, add in the desired Audio and Subtitle tracks and Start Encode.
4. Provided any Subtitle tracks were included, the output file will have burned-in subtitles, regardless whether any of the subtitle tracks were specified as Burn In.
