How to extract closed captions from flash video player

I would like to extract the closed captions from this video:
http://www.whitehouse.gov/photos-and-video/video/president-obama-explains-why-health-insur ance-reform-crucial-small-business
(Yes, it's legal, this video is in the public domain)
Is there any way this can be done?

Mystery solved!  As I was writing a long description of everything I've tried I came to a realization:
1) Neither the CC nor subtitle buttons did anything on a blu-ray player, TV, or computer.
2) None of the programs I tried were seeing a subtitle or CC track
3) Therefore the subtitles must be hardcoded into the video
4) But mpeg streamclip and handbrake both showed only one video track.
5) Therefore the single video track must contain both versions of the video.
I went back to the mpeg2 I had demuxed with mpeg streamclip and sure enough, it was twice as long as it should be.  I skimmed through it (which I hadn't done yet since I was so caught up with the subtitles) and saw the clean version and then right after, the subtitled version.  The original DVD authors must have made a script so that the buttons would only play whichever half of the video track you chose.
If I had only double-checked the mpeg2 after demuxing it I wouldn't have wasted so many hours of my life!

  • How to extract closed captions from DVD

    Hi all, been doing research for the past week and testing out different free programs on mac & PC, but I can't seem to figure out a way to extract a CC track from a DVD a client gave me. 
    Basically I'm re-authoring a DVD with a new menu in Encore.  I have the mpeg2 & aif demuxed using mpeg streamclip.  But I can't figure out how to get the CC track using any program (like subrip, jubler, etc).  Just about all of them seem only capable of recognizing subtitle tracks.
    As a last ditch solution, are there any encoders that will at least see the captions so that I can hardcode them?  I know it's not ideal to encode an mpeg2 from an mpeg2 source but I'm at wit's end.

  • Extract closed captions from OTA HD broadcast for use with DVD SP?

    Hi, I'm out of my league here, trying to do a favor for a deaf friend. He will appear on a national TV show, and I'd like to capture his appearance and (if possible) burn it to DVD.
    Of course, being deaf, he needs to see the closed captions.
    What I've done so far is buy Elgato's eyeTV Hybrid. I can successfully capture HD broadcasts with their embedded closed captions (wow, is that gorgeous!).
    I can use the eyeTV software to recompress the audio and video for DVD SP, but the captions don't end up anywhere that I can tell.
    Is there any way to extract the closed captioning information for use with DVD SP?
    Thanks very much.

    I don't think FCP will ever have captioning tools, due to it is a specilized area of post production and third party companies have developed captioning software that addresses this area.
    I use the only Mac captioning software, (Mac Caption, made by CPC) that runs on the Mac. The cost for the SD captioning version of Mac Caption retail cost $6,995 USD and the HD version is an additional $2000.00 USD. If your an educational institution, then the price is about half the list, (price can be negotiated with the company at the time of purchase.)
    As you can see, this is about half the cost of the FCP suite and I really don't think that Apple will ever get into this area. Most production companies rely on captioning services. In our case, we are an educational facility and therefore must comply with ferderal law, so we caption everything we do, thus why we had to purchase our own software.
    The software we use, can do what it is that you are seeking, it can read the caption data from a live video image an convert it to a .scc file, that can be then used in DVD authoring or tape production. It can also read the raster area of a 720x 486 video file and also convert the caption information to a .scc file, as well as creating subtitlilng .stl files for DVD's.
    It can also do original captioning, as well as add a text track to QT streaming files, which is how you caption QT steraming files. You can even burn captions into the video image of a steaming file.
    Again, most production facilities are going to have to rely on a captioning service, but because we have to caption everything, and most captioning services don't caption QT streaming files, this was another reason we had to purchase our own captioning software.

  • How to extract a10 framess from webcam video..wait for sometime then extract 10 more frames

    Sir, 
    I need to extract 10 frames from a real time webcam video..wait for a particular period of time (say 5 sec) and then extract 10 more frames repeat this procedure 15 times. I tried using vision acquisition too..but i couldnt solve the problem. im using Labview 2011..please help me with this issue. 

    I am guessing that this is a Homework problem.  It will not help you to learn LabVIEW if someone else does your work for you.  On the other hand, it might actually be part of the specification for some code that your employer needs to have completed -- if so, are there LabVIEW "experts" there that you can consult?
    If you do, indeed, need someone to develop a "finished product" for you, you will need to provide a full specification of what is involved, and (especially if this is job-related) might consider hiring someone to do this for you.
    On the other hand, if you are a student learning LabVIEW, review your earlier Homework assignments, ask your Professor for help, and write as much code as you can!  Learning to program (in LabVIEW, Fortran, C, Java, it really doesn't matter) is not an "intellectual exercise" -- it is a "Practice makes Perfect" endeavor.

  • How do I stop Firefox from playing video after I navigate from the page or leave Firefox?

    Simple and annoying. . Extremely frustrating issue with Firefox for Android. ..
    I watch a YouTube video or any flash video. . And after I hit play, the ONLY way to stop it is to hit pause or let it play to the end or close the tab. .
    It will NOT automatically stop if I open another tab. or if I navigate from Firefox. .
    I feel this is a very basic feature. Did I set something up that was wrong?
    Can I ask two questions?
    I have another extremely annoying and frustrating problem with Firefox for Android.
    The "top" (if you pull down the tabs) search bar DOES NOT allow my stock Samsung keyboard to auto space. . Thus instead of typing
    "How do I stop Firefox from playing video after I navigate from the page or leave Firefox?"
    I'll type in
    "HowdoIstopFirefoxfromplayingvideoafterInavigatefromthepageorleaveFirefox?"
    Unless I manually got the space bar.
    Using a recently factory data reset Samsung Galaxy s4 active.. android 4.2.2 and stock Samsung keyboard ... Firefox 34.0.1
    Thanks in advanced.
    Ps
    I was a hardcore xscope user for years and just recently gave in to Firefox when i lost all my bookmarks due to a forced factory data reset. .

    I'm using a different keyboard which works fine in the most top search bar...
    I cannot believe that it's not a feature.
    What if I was watching a video and wanted to shut it off quickly? I'll have to hit back? Wait for the previous screen to load then hit the power button?
    Please tell me that feature ids soon to come

  • Recording audio from Flash video

    I'm not sure if this is in the correct section, but . . .
    I would like to know how to record only the audio from Flash video. Specifically, there's a website my daughter loves which has Flash movies showing little animations with children's songs. I'd like to be able to get just the audio from those songs onto my MacBook so we don't have to go online to listen to them every time.
    Thanks.

  • Remove closed captions from H.264 file after converting?

    I processed a video file in Compressor using the Blu-Ray settings, and included a reference to a closed captions file. I now need to use the file in another application (Adobe Encore), but the closed captions appear to be hard coded in.
    Is that correct? Is there anyway to remove closed captions from a H.264 file after it has been converted with Compressor?
    Please help   This is for a film festival, and I may not have time to process the video in Compressor again without the closed captions.
    Message was edited by: nicholas.he
    Fixed question spelling from 'form' to 'from'.

    From the user manual:
    "QuickTime files: Compressor adds the closed caption file as a closed caption track to the QuickTime output file."
    The closed caption "track" can be turned on and off.  It is not burned into the screen, as is the CC standard.  Encore should handle the file just fine.  You should be able to tell the DVD to have Closed Captioning turned off by default.  That's all it takes. 
    Sub-Titles may be burned in to the screen.  If you did sub-titles, yes, you'll have to re-encoded from scratch without them.  When doing sub-titles in an DVD authoring program, you have the ability to enable and disable them, but in Compressor, they're burned in.

  • How to remove closed captions?

    The procedure says
    1 Press the Menu button on your remote control.
    2 Select Settings.
    3 Select Accessibility.
    4 Select Close Captions.
    5 Select either On or Off and press OK.
    However, under the menu Settings, I don't have the selection Accessibility
    So, how do I do? Wher do I find the Accessibity sub-menu?

    Hello Olie,
    The HD DVR (6416) boxes are the only box that do closed captioning from the box. All others pass that information straight through to the TV. This means you will have to check the TV's menu for its closed captioning setting, which can be accomplished either with the original TV remote or by using the fios remote and pressing TV then menu to bring up the TV's menu.
    Hope this helps,

  • I need to know how to add closed captioning to a project Captivate 6

    I need to know how to add closed captioning in a project in Adobe Captivate 6.  It is a software demo single recording.  I don't see where to go to create closed captions or change accessilbity preferences.

    Hi there,
    First thing that you need to do is go to Project > Skin editor > and check the box for Closed Captioning button in playbar.
    A slide must have a slide audio or Slide Video to add CC notes in it.
    Go to Windows > Slide notes, to view the slide notes panel, and click on + sign to add Closed captioning notes.
    Please check this article to add CC in project: http://helpx.adobe.com/captivate/using/slide-notes.html

    2LIS_03_BX- Initial Stock/Material stock
    2LIS_03_BF - Material movements
    2LIS_03_UM - Revaluations/Find the price of the stock
    The first DataSource (2LIS_03_BX) is used to extract an opening stock balance on a
    detailed level (material, plant, storage location and so on). At this moment, the opening
    stock is the operative stock in the source system. "At this moment" is the point in time at
    which the statistical setup ran for DataSource 2LIS_03_BX. (This is because no
    documents are to be posted during this run and so the stock does not change during this
    run, as we will see below). It is not possible to choose a key date freely.
    The second DataSource (2LIS_03_BF) is used to extract the material movements into
    the BW system. This DataSource provides the data as material documents (MCMSEG
    structure).
    The third of the above DataSources (2LIS_03_UM) contains data from valuated
    revaluations in Financial Accounting (document BSEG). This data is required to update
    valuated stock changes for the calculated stock balance in the BW. This information is
    not required in many situations as it is often only the quantities that are of importance.
    This DataSource only describes financial accounting processes, not logistical ones. In
    other words, only the stock value is changed here, no changes are made to the
    quantities. Everything that is subsequently mentioned here about the upload sequence
    and compression regarding DataSource 2LIS_03_BF also applies to this DataSource.
    This means a detailed description is not required for the revaluation DataSource.

  • How do I get songs from iPod(video) to iTunes(7 and using VISTA).

    How do I get songs from iPod(video) to iTunes(i'm using iTunes7 and Vista).
    I don't have the disc, cause i can't find it. But my computer downloaded the ipod, it just cant find the files?
    i've been looking through the topics for the past hour and none of them helped. Maybe i'm stupid i dont really know, but i've restored my old computer a couple times and i found a post and it helped both times. now i can't find it anymore.
    THIS IS THE ONE I'VE BEEN SEEING AND IT DOESN'T HELP ME ONE BIT:
    Connect your iPod to your computer. If it is set to update automatically you'll get a message that it is linked to a different library and asking if you want to link to this one and replace all your songs etc, press "Cancel". Pressing "Erase and Sync" will irretrievably remove all the songs from your iPod. Your iPod should appear in the iTunes source list from where you can change the update setting to manual and use your iPod without the risk of accidentally erasing it. Also when using most of the utilities listed below your iPod needs to be enabled for disc use, changing to manual update will do this by default. Check the "manually manage music and videos" box in Summary then press the Apply button: Managing content manually on iPod
    Once you are safely connected there are a few things you can do to restore your iTunes from the iPod. If you have any iTunes Music Store purchases the transfer of purchased content from the iPod to authorised computers was introduced with iTunes 7. You'll find details in this article: Copying iTunes Store purchases from your iPod to a computer
    The transfer of content from other sources such as songs imported from CD is designed by default to be one way from iTunes to iPod. However there are a number of third party utilities that you can use to retrieve the music files and playlists from your iPod. You'll find that they have varying degrees of functionality and some will transfer movies, videos, photos, podcasts and games as well. Have a look at the web pages and documentation, this is just a small selection of what's available, they are generally quite straightforward. You can read reviews and comparisons of some of them here:
    Wired News - Rescue Your Stranded Tunes
    Comparison of iPod managers
    TuneJack Windows Only
    iPod2PC Windows Only
    iGadget Windows Only
    iDump Windows Only
    SharePod Windows Only
    iPodRip Mac & Windows
    YamiPod Mac and Windows
    Music Rescue Mac & Windows
    iPodCopy Mac and Windows
    iRepo Mac & Windows (iPhone and iPod Touch compatible)
    iPod Access Mac & Windows (iPhone and iPod Touch compatible)
    There's also a manual method of copying songs from your iPod to a Mac or PC. The procedure is a bit involved and won't recover playlists but if you're interested it's available on page 2 at this link: Copying Content from your iPod to your Computer - The Definitive Guide
    Whichever of these retrieval methods you choose, keep your iPod in manual mode until you have reloaded your iTunes and you are happy with your playlists etc then it will be safe to return it auto-sync. I would also advise that you get yourself an external hard drive and back your stuff up, relying on an iPod as your sole backup is not a good idea and external drives are comparatively inexpensive these days, you can get loads of storage for a reasonable outlay.
    Can someone give me a link, or tell me one that shows step by step.

    Here is a way of doing it, for another take on this, search the forum for posts by Zevoneer.
    Copy from iPod to PC
    It is important not to allow your iPod to sync with an empty library. If it is set to synchronise automatically you will get a message saying your iPod is linked to a different library and asking if you want to sync – it is important to press cancel as syncing with an empty library erases all music from your iPod.
    You can also prevent auto sync by holding down shift & ctrl as you plug in your iPod and keeping the keys held down until the iPod appears in iTunes.
    Once you are connected, you need to set your iPod to manage music manually.
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=61148
    If you have an iPod with iTunes Store purchases on it, you can use it to copy your purchases to other authorized computers.
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?path=iTunesWin/7.3/en/2586win.html
    However this is not allowed for other music.
    This MacMuse tip tells you how to copy music from your iPod using Windows Explorer, but it is a bit fiddly:
    http://discussions.apple.com/messageview.jspa?messageID=797432
    Otherwise you can use third party software to manage the transfer, there are a variety of programs out there, some free and some that will copy ratings and counts as well as the music files. Here is a selection, check them out and see what suits you.

    You can find others by Googling: copy iPod to iTunes

  • How to extract specific line from a string

    Hi guys.
    I?m starting to work with java...
    i have the following data inside a string variable:
    0 rows inserted.
    0 rows updated.
    0 rows ignored.
    98 rows marked as deleted.
    0 rows have no country.
    3345 rows have no geo.
    0 rows are invalid.
    what i want to do i to extract the number of rows marked as delete.
    I think that i figured out how to extract the number from this line :"98 rows marked as deleted."
    but how do i get to that line?
    I hope you can Help me. Thanks.

    the string is the result from a Function... this function gets the info from a store procedure...
                   rta = "Results for " + dh.getSource() + " source:\n" +
    dh.getInsertedCount() + " rows inserted.\n" +
    dh.getUpdatedCount() + " rows updated.\n" +
    dh.getIgnoredCount() + " rows ignored.\n" +
                   dh.getDeletedCount() + " rows marked as deleted.\n" +
                   dh.getNoCtryCnt() + " rows have no country.\n" +
                   dh.getNoGeoCnt() + " rows have no geo.\n" +
                   dh.getInvalidCnt() + " rows are invalid.\n";
    i can?t change this function...
    so i need to work with the returned value...
    i what thinking to use the following method to extract te number...
    private int GetNumericValue(string sVal)
    int iFirst, iCharVal, iEnd;
    int iMult = 1, iRet = 0;
    char[] aNumbers = "1234567890".ToCharArray();
    iFirst = sVal.IndexOfAny(aNumbers);
    iEnd = sVal.LastIndexOfAny(aNumbers);
    if (iEnd < 0)
    return 0;
    string subStr = sVal.Substring(iFirst, iEnd - iFirst + 1);
    iEnd = subStr.Length - 1;
    while (subStr.Length > 0)
    iCharVal = int.Parse(subStr[subStr.Length-1].ToString());
    iRet += iMult * iCharVal;
    iMult *= 10;
    if (iEnd <= 0)
    break;
    subStr = subStr.Substring(0, subStr.Length - 1);
    iEnd = subStr.LastIndexOfAny(aNumbers);
    subStr = sVal.Substring(iFirst, iEnd + 1);
    return iRet;
    but i still need the 4rd line to extract the number
