How RST Handles CAP Data
Document structure and formatting are preserved to the maximum extent supported by both formats. When converting from CAP Subtitle to reStructuredText, the conversion is lossless, meaning every bit of data is preserved exactly as in the original. CAP Subtitle retains all original data. Converting to reStructuredText adds no further quality degradation since it uses lossless compression. Xonvert selects parameters that maximize quality for the target format.
This is a cross-category conversion from Subtitle (CAP Subtitle) to Document (reStructuredText). While these formats serve different purposes, Xonvert extracts the compatible data from your CAP Subtitle source and maps it into the reStructuredText format. Subtitle files typically contain broadcast television closed captioning, while Document files are used for Python documentation. The conversion bridges these two domains, allowing you to repurpose your content across different workflows.

CAP to RST Conversion: Your Questions Answered
Will my CAP file be deleted after conversion?▼
No. Your original CAP file is never modified or deleted. Xonvert creates a separate RST copy — your source file remains untouched.
What subtitle quality settings should I use?▼
Default settings are optimized for the best balance of quality and file size. Adjust only if you have specific requirements.
Does this work on my phone or tablet?▼
Yes. Xonvert works on any device with a modern browser — iPhone, iPad, Android phones and tablets all supported.
Can I undo a conversion?▼
Since your original CAP file is never modified, there's nothing to undo. Your source file remains exactly as it was — only a new RST copy is created.
What if my CAP file won't convert?▼
Ensure the file isn't corrupted or DRM-protected. Try a different file to verify. If issues persist, the file may use an unsupported codec variant.
How many times can I convert CAP to RST per day?▼
There's no daily limit for free users. Convert as many files as you need, as often as you need. PRO users get additional batch processing features.
Can I use this converter for commercial purposes?▼
Yes. There are no restrictions on how you use your converted files. Convert CAP to RST for personal, educational, or commercial projects freely.
