Description of problem or question:
If I have a Blu-ray and add subtitles then they will be ticked to 'burn into video' but it is greyed out and I can't turn it off.
If it's a DVD this doesn't happen.
HandBrake version (e.g., 1.0.0):
1.6.1
Operating system and version (e.g., Ubuntu 16.04 LTS, macOS 10.13 High Sierra, Windows 10 Creators Update):
Ubuntu 22.04.2 LTS
Subtitles with Blu-ray have burnt in subtitles and can't turn off

Unlike DVD subtitles, Blu-ray subtitles cannot go in the MP4 container; you must either use the MKV container or burn them in.

Is your playback environment limited to MP4-only? A lot are, but not everything. The MKV format is more flexible with subtitles. You should test that in your playback system.
