Body: <p>Does anybody knows an easy way to create a .vtt (WEBVTT) subtitle file with an .rtf file? I don't want to have to type all the subtitles new to get the .vtt format!</p>
  
  <p>Is there an easy way to convert it? In example with a software? It's a thing I have to do only a single time so it would be nice to be able to use freeware.</p>
  
  <p>Regards.</p>
  
  <p>P.S.: To give an example. This is the content of the .rtf file:</p>
  
  <pre><code>\pard\pardeftab720\ri0\qc
  \cf0 Hola, el meu nom \'e9s Marta Peric\'e0s.\

  </code></pre>
  
  <p>And in the end it should look like this proper .vtt file:</p>
  
  <pre><code>0:00:02.26 --&gt; 0:00:05.74

Comments.Text: I never seen this kind of format you're showing as `.rtf`... There's a [wonderful tool from Uruguay](http://www.uruworks.net/descargas.html), like a decade old (or more) and still on the run, that I always use to subtitle but, for one, it doesn't accept RTF and then there's this issue that your input format is really strange... Oh, **it does have** the WebVTT as output format.
