1.6.1 changed how subtitles are handled!

Post by mjremijan »

Description of problem or question:
In the past, I would convert MKV files to MP4 and when I did that I would choose all the subtitles and add them to the MP4. The subtitles would be added to the MP4 and I was able to select the subtitles I wanted from my media player. The subtitles would NOT appear until I selected a subtitle track. With 1.6.1, this behavior seems to have changed. When I add the subtitle tracks, Handbrake now shows "Burn In" as read-only (see attaches screenshot). With a little experimenting, I discovered if I changed the lanugage to "Foreign Audio Scan", "Burn In" became editable so I could uncheck it and then when I changed the language back to "English", "Burn In" remained unchecked. However, this did not seem to effect Handbrakes behavior. Handbrake is still burning in the audio track. This is really annoying because subtitles then show during playback even if subtitles are disabled. I need to know how to stop this burn in behavior.

Steps to reproduce the problem (If Applicable):
Load an MKV into Handbrake.
Select the Subtitles tab
Click on Tracks
Select "Add all Remaining Tracks"

When you do, you'll see tracks where "Burn In" is disabled (see attached screenshot)


HandBrake version (e.g., 1.0.0):
1.6.1 (2023012300)



Operating system and version (e.g., Ubuntu 16.04 LTS, macOS 10.13 High Sierra, Windows 10 Creators Update):
Windows 11 Pro 22621.1413

PGS subtitles can't be muxed in a mp4 file, so they can only be burned-in.
