Subtitle file formats |
|
TitleVision 2003 opens and saves subtitle files in six different formats:
| • | RAC - developed by Screen Electronics |
| • | PAC - developed by Screen Electronics |
The RAC and PAC formats save the contents, time code, position, justification, and italicization of each subtitle. The choice of font is not saved.
There actually are two different RAC/PAC formats. The default is PU2000. If you want to save your files in the PU2020 format, you have to tick the Setup/Preferences/File Settings/Import or export .pac or .rac files in PU2020 format option. If your italics brackets show up as color codes in other systems, this is what you must do.
| • | TXT - ANSI text format with or without time code ** |
| • | Spruce STL format (used for DVD subtitling) - developed by Spruce Technologies |
| • | USF - Universal Subtitle Format - developed by CoreCodec.com |
Furthermore, subtitles may be imported or exported in various formats through Pascal Script plugins:
Screen Poliscript - import/export
EBU (STL format) - import/export
Bitmaps (Philips DVD format) - export
Subrip (SRT format) - import/export
Adobe Encore (TXT format) - export

More plugins will follow on a need to do basis.
