What’s the best way to integrate all the subtitles into the corresponding MKV file?

    Iirc vobsub is not text so while you can add it to the container it will always require a transcode on plex/jelly/etc to burn in.

      I wasn’t aware of the transcoding requirement, thank you. So I guess converting the subtitles is a best practice I should adopt.

        If vobsub is image based (pretty sure it is) then it needs an OCR converter. Most streaming setups will burn the image based subs in. Honestly for 1080p and lower a modern cpu/gpu won’t miss a beat.
