LIST OF ALL OUTPUT FORMATS

CaptionSync produces a wide variety of output file formats to support captioning
for broadcasts, DVDs, videotape, web players, video-sharing sites, and podcasts.

At the end of this article you can find media samples that you can use with
these outputs. Please open a Support Ticket to request specific samples of these
caption files.

If you're looking for encoded captions/subtitles, where the caption file is
embedded into the media file, then please take a look at our Video Encoding
tutorial for more information.

Following is a list of the various output file extensions and what they are
typically used for:
