How do you do that? If anyone could tell me that'd be greatly appreciated.

it's right there in the guides. it even says 'SUBTITLE REMOVAL GUIDE' in big blue letters, imagine that.

Or you could use the Decoy approach and cover the subtitles with effects.

Photoshop them out frame by frame. It's the only way.

open it in virtualdubmod

export frame, photoshop out titles.
scrub to the next frame in vdub
export frame, photoshop out titles.

repeat until all subtitles are gone. this can sometimes take a week. just stick with it. the payoff is more than worth it.

Or buy the DVDs if they're available. "Clips" is usually a dead giveaway that you're downloading this stuff off some website. You can skip the subtitle-removal headache entirely by going with footage that doesn't have hard-coded subs to begin with.

Some series don't have a soft-sub option, of course, so you have fewer options in those cases.
