Isn't it possible to "burn" the subtitles on to the video file somehow, maybe with ffmpeg? So they're there permanently.

Yes but it wouldn't be ideal since you wouldn't be able to turn them on and off, or switch between multiple subtitles.

yes, the container formats such as MP4 and Matroshka support this.

Also, it can be definitely done with ffmpeg.
