I do use the commandline version of HandBrake – HandBrakeCLI.
I like the Normal preset of HandBrake and would like to continue using it. I found the actual command input of this preset, but what do I have to add / remove to keep subtitles?
./HandBrakeCLI -i DVD -o ~/Movies/movie.mp4 -e x264 -q 20.0 -a 1 -E faac -B 160 -6 dpl2 -R Auto -D 0.0 --audio-copy-mask aac,ac3,dtshd,dts,mp3 --audio-fallback ffac3 -f mp4 --loose-anamorphic --modulus 2 -m --x264-preset veryfast --h264-profile main --h264-level 4.0

Subtitles should be automatically removed unless you specify to keep them.
should be generic enough in most cases to keep all subtitles (track 1-6), you can add as many numbers as you want, since requesting non-present subtitles causes no error.
There are more options, like "keep the language that was selected for audio".

For you then it might be
to keep all subs.
