When I use youtube-dl to list-subs I usualy get something like the following - 

en       vtt, ttml, srv3, srv2, srv1

Is there a way to transform any of these subtitle formats to .srt format using tools on console or having a GUI ?

  • I know this doesn't answer the question but just for information, `.vtt` files are supported by VLC Media Player. If the subtitles file has the same name as the movie file, it will appear automatically in the subtitles menu in VLC, otherwise a simple drag and drop will do the job. I haven't tried with other file types (`ttml`, `srv3`, `srv2`, `srv1`) though – Jérôme MEVEL Feb 09 '20 at 20:27

There are plenty of such programs/services out there. Use your search engine.

In few seconds I found quite a few: (web services)

VTT to SRT Converter - Tool Slick (tested and it works)

Online tool for changing many types of subtitles to srt (tested and it works)

(programs)

Elgindy VTT to SRT Converter 1.2.0 (tested, and works, standalone, for windows, you can use wine to run it; it's even on github)

There are others on github too. Closest would be:

isaacbernat/netflix-to-srt (it works and before you say it doesn't read their description, it takes directories as arguments; you can obviously change it on your own - there is a source)

    I was looking for desktop or console tools rather than web services. The idea is to do the same in-house or within the system, not take it outside. This is what the whole unix.stackexchange network is for, not for web services otherwise I would have explicitly asked for. – shirish Mar 04 '20 at 19:30
  • The third one ([Elgindy VTT to SRT Converter 1.2.0](https://www.softpedia.com/get/Multimedia/Video/Other-VIDEO-Tools/Elgindy-VTT-to-SRT-Converter.shtml)) is desktop. Read description. – tansy Mar 05 '20 at 11:23
  • It's even on github. There are others on github as well - read edited answer. – tansy Mar 05 '20 at 11:47
