How can I download subtitle with yt-dlp or another way (program)

[mjking]

Example site : https://www.usanetwork.com/sin-senos-si-hay-paraiso/video/catalina-ama-a-hernan/3067820

I have a few questions ;

1) Can I download only the subtitle from the site with yt-dlp (.tt).. Can I just download the subtitle in the link? Is there a code for this? Except for video
2) Let's say I can download both the video and the subtitle.. Is the subtitle combined with the video? Because I will translate the subtitle to english language online.
3) How can i choose quality when downloading video with yt-dlp. What is the sample code for this?

I would appreciate if anyone can share the code with examples.
By the way, it doesn't have to be with yt-dlp, if there is another program..


Thank you to everyone involved.

1.

yt-dlp --write-subs --no-download "https://www.usanetwork.com/sin-senos-si-hay-paraiso/video/catalina-ama-a-hernan/3067820"

2. --write-subs gives a separate file, while --embed-subs embeds in final output. You can use both.

3. yt-dlp -F "URL". Then use -f to select ID of the format you want. Or use something like -f "best[height=1080]".
