About SCC files

The .SCC file extension primarily represents a Scenarist Closed Caption file, the North American broadcast standard for encoding CEA-608 line 21 caption data. Developed for DVD and Blu-ray authoring by Scenarist, it is also heavily utilized in professional video editors like Adobe Premiere Pro. Secondary uses include Source Control Cache tracking files generated by legacy Microsoft Visual SourceSafe, and obsolete Samsung Story Album digital photo archives. Working with .SCC caption files is notoriously difficult. The format is highly proprietary and uses a hexadecimal encoding mapped to 29.97 fps drop-frame timecode. Because of this, it cannot be read or edited with standard text editors, and it is completely unsupported by modern HTML5 web video players. Visual SourceSafe .SCC files are often just annoying directory clutter that should be ignored or deleted when migrating codebases. To make closed captions usable online, you must convert .SCC files to modern formats. For web delivery, convert to VTT. For general editing and offline video players, convert to SRT. If you have an old Samsung Story Album file, it is actually a ZIP archive; you can extract your JPG images directly. Drag and drop your .SCC file here to analyze and convert it securely right in your browser - free, online, and without installing software.
