    closed captioning

    Posted by Dan Asselin on June 29, 2006 at 9:01 pm

    Hi;

    I have a client who is asking me to re-package some previously authored DVD’s. My question has to do with closed captioning.
    I am using Encore DVD and want to know “If I leave the m2v file
    intact after I extract it from unencrypted previous DVD’s(using DVD Shrink)will the newly authored DVD’s still contain the line 21 CC information and can it still be decoded by the viewers”?.

    I have tried to bring up the CC as a test from my first attempt at re-authoring with no success but my test player is a real crud box. (Which is great for ascertaining maximum playback compatibility but lousy when you are trying to figure out something like this)

    Any Ideas ??

    Thanks

    Dan

    I don’t think that will work. The line 21 information is not actually in the MPEG2 video and the DVD player generates the closed captioning information from a file you must use during the authoring. So, unless you have access to that original closed caption file, I think you may be out of luck.

    Thanks Matt. I’m getting that feeling myself. Oh well one of the great things about being in this business is that you MUST learn something every day.

    Thanks Again
