Hey Chris,
FYI, for Final Cut Pro 7 (and unfortunately only for version 7) can indeed print-to-video via FireWire to DV (720×40) with just an SCC file. That should end up saving folks a fair bit of coin and hassle.
The same workflow at our end, upload an audio file and get back captions. https://www.automaticsync.com/captionsync/markets/broadcast/ is the link for anyone else who needs an SCC and/or the black quicktime MOV for D1 (our Digital NLE Caption file).

You might be interested in Automatic Sync Technologies’ CaptionSync automated web-based captioning service (https://www.automaticsync.com/caption/broadcaption.htm). There is no software to buy, it’s just a use-it-when-you-need-it service. You can choose to get back Digital NLE Captions — a black MOV file with the captions at the top. You place this on your FCP timeline and it is embedded in the VBI when you print-to-tape. No shipping tapes, no gen loss, no FedEx, and not very expensive.

If you have your own text transcript Automatic Sync Technologies’ CaptionSync can get you a black QuickTime movie with the captions in minutes instead of days 7×24. If you don’t have schedule or money to burn I encourage you to have a peek. AST can also do the transcript if you don’t have one, though that will add somewhere between 1 and 3 days to the schedule.

https://www.automaticsync.com/caption/howto_vids.htm shows you how to do this in QT Pro with a QT.TXT file.
You can get back both QT.TXT files (along with SCC and STL) when you submit your media and transcript to CaptionSync (this is an online captioning service).
