Burned (hardcoded) subtitles are permanently rendered into the video pixels and cannot be turned off. Soft subtitles are a separate track the viewer can toggle on or off.

The video must be re-encoded to burn in subtitles, which can cause minor quality loss. Use a high bitrate setting to minimize any visible difference.
