Oh i've never extracted, i use openai-whisper for long content and whisper-diarization for shorter content (<8 minutes or so). As i suspected, ffmpeg claims to handle it: https://trac.ffmpeg.org/wiki/ExtractSubtitles with a note that probably should be used with `-c copy` to ensure a 1:1 copy of the subtitles.

also when i get stuff from a website with yt-dlp for archival i use

```pwsh

$userInput = Read-Host -Prompt '480 video download script enter URL'

Write-Output "URL:`t`t$userInput"

yt-dlp.exe `

-f 'bestvideo[height<=480]+bestaudio/best[height<=480]' `

--write-auto-subs --write-subs `

--fragment-retries infinite `

$userInput

```
