Fidelity When Converting CAP to PS
CAP Subtitle retains all original data. Converting to PostScript File adds no further quality degradation since it uses lossless compression. Xonvert selects parameters that maximize quality for the target format. For professional use, quality assurance is critical. Xonvert's CAP Subtitle to PostScript File pipeline has been tested against reference implementations to ensure output meets document industry standards. Real-world quality depends on three factors: source file quality, format capabilities, and encoder settings. Xonvert optimizes the third factor automatically, but starting with the best possible CAP Subtitle source always yields the best PostScript File output.
This is a cross-category conversion from Subtitle (CAP Subtitle) to Document (PostScript File). While these formats serve different purposes, Xonvert extracts the compatible data from your CAP Subtitle source and maps it into the PostScript File format. Subtitle files typically contain broadcast television closed captioning, while Document files are used for professional printing. The conversion bridges these two domains, allowing you to repurpose your content across different workflows.
