TitleListConverter 1.9 adds new formats
---------------------------------------

25.7.2004. Belle Nuit Montage releases the version 1.9 of
TitleListConverter. This version adds the support of Titra text files
and supports style tags in STL Text files.
This version also clarifies the subject of STL files where there has
been a lot of confusion for the last months:
- The European Broadcast Union (EBU) defined a binary format for
subtitle exchange which has the extension .STL. Use this file format to
communicate with subtitle labs and broadcast stations.
TitleListConverter can import and Subtitler 1.6 can export EBU files.
- There is a text file format .STL which was largely introduced with
DVD Studio Pro 2 from Apple. You find the specification in the DVD
Studio Pro user manual. This format has two flavours (which can be
mixed): STL Text files containing timecode information and text. STL
Graphic Files containing links to graphics, but no text.
TitleListConverter can import STL Text files and Subtitler 1.6 can
export both STL Text and STL Graphic files.

TitleListConverter can read subtitle files in many formats and exports
them to EDLs and Belle Nuit Subtitler Files.
TitleListConverter is freeware.
