Piracy: ꜱᴀɪʟ ᴛʜᴇ ʜɪɢʜ ꜱᴇᴀꜱ

I'm trying to hard embed a .srt subtitle file into a movie using ffmpeg but for some reason the output always ends up corrupted/unplayable. The content of the subtitle file also turns into a bunch of spaces (imagine going into a notepad file and just holding down the spacebar). I'm not sure what is causing the issue since I have tried using different subtitle files but the same result still happens.

For reference, I use the line "ffmpeg -i input.mp4 -vf subtitles=subfile.srt output.mp4" for the embed.

Any help would be appreciated since I am starting to get frustrated to no avail.
