Convert SubRip (.srt) captions to WebVTT (.vtt) and back. The direction is detected from the input by default: SRT uses a comma before the milliseconds, WebVTT uses a dot and starts with a WEBVTT header. Timestamps are normalized to HH:MM:SS with three fraction digits, VTT cue settings are preserved, and NOTE and STYLE blocks are skipped. Only the format changes; the caption text is never translated or edited.
