Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.

Whenever I download videos with seal, using the "Embed subtitles" option, it always produces its subtitles in .vtt format.

Describe the solution you'd like

Is there to change the subtitles format to another format like .srt or .ass format before downloading?

Video link

No response

Additional context

The reason for this question is because the device I use to watch the YT videos I download does not show the .vtt subs when played, and I cannot install VLC player in the device. I await your response. Thanks in advance.

For now you can use the following commands; --convert-subs FORMAT --sub-langs en --write-sub --embed-subs --compat-option no-keep-subs

Note

currently supported: ass, lrc, srt, vtt

if you convert-subs to .ass format add this command to it,

--remux-video mkv

@Beech0408 Please close this issue as completed if my answer solved the problem.

@Marco-9456 sorry, but I am afraid that it didn't. I did as exactly as you instructed in your screen recorded video when I was downloading a YT video less than 90mb. However, it took a lot of time writing the subtitles and when I canceled the process out of frustration, I opened my File Manager and checked the folder for Seal, only to find out that there was about 2 split .webm files of the video I wanted to download, each ranging from at least 400 MB. You cannot fathom how sad and frustrated I was. I'm sorry that your advice didn't work out. If it did, I would have closed this issue.
