Any explanation as to why it’s a bad practice? For me personally, I only burn in foreign subtitles. But I can imagine others burning all of them.into the movie.

Most that I download automatically have a subtitle when you finish the download. You have to play the file (I use VLC) and then I click on Subtitle and find out if it’s forced otlr regular subtitle. Then use Handbrake and burn in the forced (or regular subtitle, depending on what you want) and then add to my server. I do this so if Plex goes away then I won’t have to worry about it having built in subtitle support.

Hey, I resemble that remark…
