typically just a remux not a re-encode, ffmpeg -i (input).mkv -map 0:v -map 0:a -c copy (output).mkv
but you need to decide what you want to keep, in some cases mkvtoolnix may be better at keeping the metadata as ffmpeg likes to strip DV meta
a lot slower but you can also remux with makemkv (slower in terms of it's not scriptable)
as an afterthought you could actually try kodi with the jellyfin for kodi addon; it supports pgs subs
carries downsides with it depending on platform, not all are equally good
