# Subtitle Processing Configuration
This document covers subtitle processing and formatting options.
## subtitle (dict)
Control subtitle conversion and SDH (hearing-impaired) stripping behavior.
- `conversion_method`: How to convert subtitles between formats. Default: `pysubs2`.
- `auto`: Use subby for WebVTT/SAMI, standard for others.
- `subby`: Always use subby with CommonIssuesFixer.
- `subtitleedit`: Prefer SubtitleEdit when available; otherwise fallback to standard conversion.
- `pycaption`: Use only the pycaption library (no SubtitleEdit, no subby).
- `pysubs2`: Use pysubs2 library (supports SRT, SSA, ASS, WebVTT, TTML, SAMI, MicroDVD, MPL2, TMP formats).
- `sdh_method`: How to strip SDH cues. Default: `auto`.
- `auto`: Try subby for SRT first, then SubtitleEdit, then filter-subs.
- `subby`: Use subby's SDHStripper. **Note:** Only works with SRT files; other formats will fall back to alternative methods.
- `subtitleedit`: Use SubtitleEdit's RemoveTextForHI when available.
- `filter-subs`: Use the subtitle-filter library.
- `strip_sdh`: Enable/disable automatic SDH (hearing-impaired) cue stripping. Default: `true`.
- `convert_before_strip`: When using `filter-subs` SDH method, automatically convert subtitles to SRT format first for better compatibility. Default: `true`.
- `preserve_formatting`: Keep original subtitle tags and positioning during conversion. Default: `true`.
Example:
```yaml
subtitle:
conversion_method: pysubs2
sdh_method: auto
strip_sdh: true
convert_before_strip: true
preserve_formatting: true
```
