It should be --sub-format=ttml not --sub-lang: youtube-dl 'https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SEyDminvr7Q' --skip-download --sub-lang=en --sub-format=ttml --write-sub --write-auto-sub seems to work.

@jaimeMF commented on GitHub (Apr 2, 2016): It should be `--sub-format=ttml` not `--sub-lang`: `youtube-dl 'https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SEyDminvr7Q' --skip-download --sub-lang=en --sub-format=ttml --write-sub --write-auto-sub` seems to work.
