Subtitling - Production
FAB Media Converter

FAB Media Converter is a software package for conversion of many different video formats to low bitrate WMV video files which can be used for preparation of subtitles.

Main advantages of FAB Media Converter:

Timecode from input video files is detected and written into the output WMV file.

Scene changes/cuts in the input video file are detected during the conversion process and written into the output WMV file.

Visible timecode can be written into the output WMV file.

Supported input video formats:

MPEG1/MPEG2/MPEG4

MXF with MPEG2 video

WMV

Any video file that can be played in Windows Media Player on the same PC

The encoded video is highly compressed because Windows Media 9 WMV format is used.
The Video Codec 1 (VC1) that is used allows bitrates between 200 kbit/s and 3Mbit/s.

Because WMV video files are very small they can be downloaded by translators over DSL. When using the lowest possible bitrate of 200 kbit/s a 90 minutes movie is encoded into a 135MB video file. When using a 2MBit/s DSL line this file can be downloaded in less than 9 minutes.
