HOW TO extract subtitles from a YouTube video

[Update - 2022]  YouTube now automatically generates a transcript & timestamp that can be toggled Subtitles within videos help non-native speakers clearly understand & follow what's going on while the video is playing.

I found it annoying that Google doesn't validate the file size immediately upon upload but rather accepts the upload & then informs that it cannot convert thereby wasting bandwidth.
