Those who don't SHOULD NOT ATTEMPT this hack. As I pointed out numerous times, anyone who can understand my answer and who knows how to use the command line will find this task trivial. I shouldn't have to add this disclaimer but there have been a number of, in most cases demeaning, 'answers' that reveal a distinct misunderstanding of the OP, suggesting irrelevant 'solutions', and/or criticizing this hack as being 'O-h-h-h-so-difficult' if you want to re-enable the subtitle track at a later date. I don't need/want to do that and, if I did, I obviously wouldn't have taken the time to research the topic at hand and publish my findings in this thread.

That is obviously trivial and doesn't need any explanation. It is NOT about GLOBALLY DISABLING subtitles in any PLAYER. I could not find a single thread about that. That's precisely why I started this thread about DISABLING NOT REMOVING subtiles. There are literally thousands of threads about removal by remuxing. It IS NOT about REMOVING subtitles by REMUXING with mkvmerge or any other tool.

THIS QUESTION IS ABOUT DISABLING-NOT REMOVING SUBTITLE TRACKS FROM MKV FILES FROM THE COMMAND LINE.
