Research direction
Examine the FileConverter codebase, particularly how existing file types are added and processed. Look for a plugin or extension pattern. Investigate subtitle format specifications (e.g., SRT, ASS) and encoding detection libraries. The issue lacks details on which subtitle extensions are desired, so start by listing common ones.
