how to convert .ttml to .ytt subtitle? #49

YTSubConverter doesn't currently support TTML. Instead, you can upload TTML files directly to YouTube.

That being said, YouTube's TTML support is very limited - it recognizes text colors, bold/italic/underline, and that's about it. Is that why you're looking to convert to YTT instead? So you get access to all of YouTube's subtitle features?

Also, is there a reason you can't/don't want to create your subtitles as ASS instead?

I can try adding TTML support to YTSubConverter, but it'll take some time. Maybe you could use another conversion tool to convert your TTML subtitles to ASS first?

TTML support is now available in the new 1.6.0 release.
