Convert VTT to SRT

QUICK ANSWER
Is it possible to convert VTT to SRT?
Yes - VTT converts to SRT.

The #1 task: VTT and SRT are nearly identical (SRT uses a comma in timecodes and no WEBVTT header). Stripping the WEBVTT header/styling and swapping the period for a comma yields SRT - simple enough to do client-side in the browser, ideal for an in-house converter. Subtitle Edit and ffmpeg also do it.

Also to SRT: SCC · MKV · SUB
