The CC information is not generated locally by the DVD player. Seemingly DVD-Architect assumes subtitling is the last word in providing optional text.Ĭlosed caption is in-band with the video data. However they can be authored in (just as we can indirectly request macrovision, CSS or through even more convoluted techniques - the likes of CGMS and watermark copy protection). Making the assumption that you use a TV and not a monitor/projector. ![]() I hope these words are of some benefit to you Cooldraft?Ĭlosed captions are decoded by the TV. ![]() I'm not sure if the legislation is following as quickly, so CC will remain a distinct consideration until this all sorts itself out. So the DVD-Video and DVB (MHEG/HTTP etc) formats are going to take over in time. My concluding comment is that as the computer and TV world converges we will see more and more computer-monitors in our living spaces. Otherwise I'd look into supplementing what you have with Encore or DVD Studio Pro. Yet if you can - this could be the convoluted path that you need. I'm not in a "CC" country (we have teletext here) so I don't know if you can record CC to DV from "air". Once you have the analog version - that might be compatible with a DV digitizer. However it might be possible to go around the NLE loop as described here: So I do know that the SCC file is of no use to you directly with these Sony products. For broadcast, syndication and mastering - I can otherwise understand the intention to get the CC encoding completed. Most folks with Vegas+DVDA won't be considering spending another $1000 on a CC creation tool like maccaption. This would be a complex workflow and would then give you the quandary of whether to put the CC-signalling in aswell as DVD-Video subtitling. However it wouldn't be impossible to consider using maccaption and to attempt to feed this into a lower (than MPEG-2) compression format that you then pop into DVD-Architect through recompression. I'm not sure if the VBI-data is readily acquired (via remapping) on certain analogue->DV products (bridges/camcorders/decks) using the VAUX designated area. I don't think this makes DVD-Architect illegal for making merchandise for retailing (in North America) as the provision IS there for text-over-video using the subtitling mode (rather than CC). However I don't see this being an option in DVD-Architect. The option is there to have additional out-of-band assets to convey the CC data within the MPEG-2 stream, as additional authored media. Otherwise, you'll see over at maccaption (and ccaption) that there is some interoperability with NLEs where the the VBI line is mapped in-band into the DV/DVD visible line space (of 720x480 NTSC video). DVD-Architect supports this format of text overlay on video. ![]() Whilst it may be possible to write to the closed-caption decoder of TVs that have this function as standard (North America and some other islands) it is important to point out that DVD-Video is aligned more to the subtitling capability of the DVD players. ![]() I believe you'll find yourself bridging an original/legacy system with what is enough to get away with now we are in a more digital world. I've recently been researching what options someone who has aspirations for embedding CC content in modern delivery formats has.
