Burning subtitles into the video means the subtitle is integrated into the video image. The video data is changed and the process involves video re-encoding. Hence you can’t burn subtitles without re-encoding or converting. But you can add subtitles without re-encoding if you wrap the subtitle as a separate stream in the video container, such as adding soft subtitles to MKV.
