encode multiple subtitle tracks

I am using makemkv to rip several blu-rays that have both foreign language scenes (so forced English subtitles) and a separate Chinese subtitle track that I want to include in the end file, as a selectable subtitle, not burnt in. So when I rip it with makemkv I select force only for the English subtitiles, it for the Chinese subtitles I un select force only. Then I make the mkv and dump it into handbrake for encoding so I can play it n my apple devices. The problem is that I can only add 1 subtitle track and it must be burned in. So I either get the English subtitles for the firing language scenes or I get the Chinese subtitles (burned in and not selectable). When I try to add them both I get an error message. Is there any way for me to add both and have the Chinese subtitles selectable not burned in?


Thanks,

Josh


P.S. I am not sure if this is a makemkv problem or handbrake issue so I placed the question on both boards.

Why not just use Handbrake to make the video smaller and then add the subtitles back in with mkvmerge.

Better yet, just keep the remux.

It's a Handbrake problem (or rather a problem with the container you use on your Apple).
