What an SRT looks like
Each cue is a block: a number, a timing line with a comma, the words, then a blank line. No header. The first character of a valid file is 1, not the word WEBVTT.
Don't rename it to .vtt
SRT uses a comma before milliseconds. VTT uses a dot and starts with WEBVTT. Changing the extension does not convert the file. If you need VTT, press the VTT button.
