Questions

What actually changes when I convert VTT to SMI?
WebVTT, the format the HTML5 <track> element expects natively in the browser — dot as the decimal separator, optional positioning cues. SAMI, an XML-based format from older Windows Media Player workflows — a cue's end time is implied by the next sync point, not stated directly. Timing and line breaks carry over as-is; anything one format can represent that the other can't is simply dropped.
