Subtitle is easy -- map MARC tag 245b (MARC21) to bibliosubtitle.subtitle.

Format is tougher.  There's no single MARC tag that contains format
information.  Nor is there any good column in the biblioitems table for
storing such information.  Probably your best solution is careful
selection of your item types.  Choose itemtype codes that are meaningful
-- like "CD" or "DVD" or "Cass."
