How to convert MCC to CSV

Convert MCC to CSV online. CutConvert decodes the MacCaption .mcc file — CEA-708 ancillary data and all — and writes a spreadsheet of every caption with start, end, and text. The only way to read an MCC without MacCaption or CaptionMaker.

  1. Add your .mcc file

    Drag the MCC onto the drop zone.

  2. Convert to CSV

    Press Convert. Every decoded caption becomes a row with its timing and text.

  3. Download your result

    Download the converted file instantly — or a single ZIP archive when you convert a batch of files.

MCC captions and CSV spreadsheet, explained

The .mcc format outlived its creator: MacCaption is retired, CaptionMaker is Windows-only and paid, and nothing else opens the format — which is a problem when a deliverable comes back from a vendor and someone asks what's in it. This converter decodes the CEA-708 caption data and produces a review spreadsheet: one row per caption, exact timing, readable text. Pair it with the MCC to SRT converter when you need an editable subtitle file rather than a report.

CEA-708 .mcc captions decoded into a spreadsheet — no MacCaption required. It is free to start, encrypted in transit, and converts a whole batch into one ZIP — sign in when you need large, high-volume jobs.

MCC to CSV FAQ

Why convert MCC to CSV?

To read and QC a broadcast deliverable without captioning software — MacCaption is retired, and nothing mainstream opens .mcc files.

Is the decoding verified?

Yes — the CEA-708 decoding is validated against the same reference caption data used across our broadcast converters, with round-trip testing.

Does positioning or styling carry into the CSV?

No — the CSV carries timing and text, which is what review and QC need. Position codes have no spreadsheet representation.

Can I get an SRT instead?

Yes — the MCC to SRT converter writes an editable subtitle file from the same decoder.
