Hi Dave,

Example 4 in the FFmpeg map wiki looks like the solution but they use mpeg2
as their example. <https://trac.ffmpeg.org/wiki/Map>https

ffmpeg -i inputfile -map 0 -c:a copy -c:s copy -c:v libx264 output.mkv

Is how I'd do it.

You could get more specific and use -map 0:a and -map 0:s in order to
specify subs and audio only.
