+You can burn "picture based" subtitles into a movie as well (for instance, dvdsub is a type of picture based overlay subtitles), by using the overlay filter to overlay the images. Here is an example - an MKV with dvdsub subtitles in a separate stream:
+
+{{{
+ffmpeg -i input.mkv -filter_complex '[0:v][0:s]overlay[v]' -map [v] -map 0:a <output options> output.mkv
+}}}
+
+If you have multiple subtitle streams, you can select which one to use by replacing [0:s] with [0:s:0] to select the first subtitle stream or [0:s:1] to select the second subtitle stream, and so on. See also [http://ffmpeg.org/ffmpeg.html the official documentation]; search for "hardcode".
