VTT
VTT (WebVTT, Web Video Text Tracks) is the W3C-standard subtitle and caption format for HTML5 video, designed to work natively in web browsers without plugins. It supports text cues with precise timing, multiple text tracks, and CSS-based styling for rich caption presentation. VTT is the required format for closed captions on web video platforms, streaming services, and accessibility-compliant applications.
SBV
SBV (SubViewer) is YouTube's simple caption format: each cue is a start/end timestamp pair followed by caption text. It is plain text, easy to edit, and commonly used when downloading or uploading YouTube captions.
