  Best file format for Rehabilitation Act 508 compliance in web video?

  Posted by Bob Mark on October 19, 2012 at 1:41 pm

  I just received an RFP for a video project that needs to be fully Rehabilitation Act 508 compliant. This is for a web video. What type of video format can provide that?

  The spec includes: CC, secondary descriptive audio track, ability to switch captions and descriptive audio on and off.

  Here is the actual statute:

  Video or Multimedia Products (1194.24)
  
  Multimedia products involve more than one media and include, but are not limited to, video programs, narrated slide production, and computer generated presentations. Provisions address caption decoder circuitry (for any system with a screen larger than 13 inches) and secondary audio channels for television tuners, including tuner cards for use in computers. The standards also require captioning and audio description for certain training and informational multimedia productions developed or procured by Federal agencies. The standards also provide that viewers be able to turn captioning or video description features on or off.

  Thank you!

  Bob

  Can anyone suggest a video player that can turn CC and a descriptive audio track on and off?
