Burned in Subtitles when I didn't ask for it... I think...

[mneimeyer]

Description of problem or question:

I have an MKV that was ripped from a DVD. Using Handbrake to convert it to H.265 I end up with an MKV that has burned in subtitles. I thought the options I selected on the command line would include all the subtitles and all the languages BUT it would only burn in the forced subtitles OR if English was not an available audio track.

Everything I can find online suggests *to me* that I've done things right. Advice and wisdom is appreciated.

Steps to reproduce the problem (If Applicable):

Convert using the following command:

HandBrakeCLI -i 'POLICE ACADEMY S.E.-B1_t00.mkv' -o 'POLICE ACADEMY S.E.-B1_t00.mkv' --preset "H.265 MKV 720p30" -m --all-audio --all-subtitles --subtitle scan -F -N eng --native-dub 2>&1 | tee archive.log

HandBrake version (e.g., 1.0.0):

arm:/home/arm/logs# HandBrakeCLI --version
[03:33:20] Compile-time hardening features are enabled
Cannot load libnvidia-encode.so.1
[03:33:20] hb_init: starting libhb thread
[03:33:20] thread 7f9fd46ea700 started ("libhb")
HandBrake 20240227183806-e3554c21d-master

HandBrake has exited.

Operating system and version (e.g., Ubuntu 16.04 LTS, macOS 10.13 High Sierra, Windows 10 Creators Update):

Ubuntu 20.04.6 LTS

Code: Select all

[17:21:41]  * subtitle track 1, English (VOBSUB) (track 0, id 0x4, Picture) -> Render/Burn-in, Default

You need --subtitle-burned=none

You need --subtitle-burned=none

I'll try this tonight when I get home!

Will this still burn in forced subtitles? Like shorter foreign language segments?

Thanks!

No... you need to read the CLI help.

Yeah, the CLI is all types of stuff. No one knows its secrets!
