Description
Currently, there is no specific option to keep the original subtitles file after a conversion. It is deleted by default. Nonetheless, the original subtitles file can be retained if the "--keep-video" option is used – this doesn't seem to be documented. However, that will cause the original video file to be kept if remuxing is also specified. It doesn't seem possible to keep the original video file but not the original subtitles files and vice-versa.
A separate "keep original subtitles file" option would address this. However, I guess FFmpeg might not have a separate option for this so, alternatively, the readme.md could be altered to make clear that the original video and subtitles files will be kept. That is, "--keep-video" will keep the original subtitles file after conversion and/or the original video file after remuxing.
