Closed Caption Subtitles on Netflix via Apple TV

The Netflix website says that the show Dexter has subtitles. I have enabled the subtitles / closed caption options on my 2010 Apple TV. Yet they don't show up. Is it me? Did I missed something? Did I enable closed captions the wrong way? Is the Netflix website wrong? Thanks!

Netflix uses a proprietary system for subtitles. They have only released the software to show the subtitles on 4 platforms so far: PC & Mac Web Browsers, Wii, & PS3. They do not show on any other platform so far. Netflix says that other platforms, including AppleTV, are "Coming Soon" but no release dates are given. they are adding titles with subtitling to the catalog weekly. Total is now over 700 titles. Sadly, Netflix does not provide any type of search method to allow for searching of titles with Subtitles. I have developed a list of titles on my blog here: http://ncmacasl.blogspot.com/2010/10/netflix-instantwatch-titles-with.html

Encoding videos with closed captioning / subtitles

Now that closed captioning is supported on videos rented / purchased from iTMS, it is clear that the functionality is now supported on the Apple TV. Is anyone aware of any tool(s) that allow subtitles to be included? I already can embed the subtitles into the video using the various tools, but I am seeking a way to have true closed captioning that can be toggled on / off.
As far as I know, the MP4 container does not support any type of subtitles in the container format. Therefore, Apple must be using a different format for its videos. Is it proprietary or some standard container format?

Do not confuse Subtitles with Closed Captioning. For now, the only way to support subtitles is to place them in the video.

Your Ipad Mini getting Closed-Captioning on Hulu/Netflix?

Good morning everyone! I appreciate you stopping by in here and hope you've at least had some success with closed-captioning on your Ipad Mini.
As a severe hearing impaired person with a new Ipad Mini 2, I depend on closed-captioning (CC). Apparently after setting closed captioning on within accessibility control, either active Hulu or Netflix could not succeed with CC capability. Within the active Hulu/Netflix playing, the setting gear icon included the following: Unknown CC, Auto and Off. Strange as I had no problem on my iPhone and MBA; only on my Ipad Mini 2.
So, were you able to get CC going on your Ipad Mini?
Thanks for your help!

I haven't tried Hulu, but I get Netflix captions without having to do anything with Accessability Settings. After the Netflix movie loads, at the top right of the screen is a small, rectangular icon. That is the Language Options icon. Touch that, and you will will be able to set Subtitles (CC). Tapping the Subtitle language, a check mark appears - and Subtitles are ON. By tapping OFF, you can turn them off. If the small, rectangular icon does not appear at all, then the movie does not have Subtitles available.
Hope this helps>

CC closed captioning / subtitles

I know how to search CC movies in itunes, but when y find them (marked with "CC") how do I see which subtitles are available?
The same applies for Apple TV 2
I cannot find any description either in itunes or apple TV describing the available subtitles
Any idea?
Loris

By law, broadcast TV shows are required to have Closed Captioning. Up to and until the iTunes Store offers its shows complete with CC, I will not purchase any. It should be criminal that CC is not offered on every available video.

This is a necessary information before renting/buying a movie. Seems logical, but?

Closed Captioning/Subtitle Vendors

Has anyone here used any closed captioning or subtitling vendors to create their subs or scc files for them?
Does anyone have recommendations for any companies?
Currently I have only come across captionmax.com as looking like a decent candidate. But if anyone has used other please let me know, as I am doing research into getting our videos professionally CC/subbed.
Thanks!

Try Mac Caption That is what we use

Inbetweeners 2 Closed Caption / Subtitles UK Store

Hi,
So I love the inbetweeners and decided to rent the 2nd movie.
I looked on the internet and it came up on Google, however the Australian store loaded up and it had the CC logo (meaning there will be captions) I need these due to being deaf. I then got redirected to the UK store due to that being my location.
When it loaded up the CC logo was nowhere to be found (on the UK store) but it is on the Australian store.
Why is there CC on one store but not the other?
Very frustrating, BTW I haven't bought it yet as I wanted some answers/confirmation.
Thanks
JDanjoux

The rights-holders decide where a particular film is available, and what options it has with it for each country.
You can try requesting that the version with closed captioning be added to the UK store (you have to be in a country to use its store so you can't buy it from the Australian store), but unless the rights-holder agrees to it then Apple won't be able to sell that version here : http://www.apple.com/feedback/itunes.html

Problems with Closed Captioning (subtitles)

The last upgrade of the STB software fixed many of the problems with closed captioning. However, there are still a number of problems. For those of us with hearing impairment, it would really be nice if they got it right. Now, at least all of the closed captioned dialog shows up (which it didn't used to do -- before, it would overwrite itself on certain stations). However, some of the dialog shows up on the screen for only a fraction of a second -- too fast to read it. Please help us hearing impaired people!!!!!

Deleting closed captions & subtitles

how do I delete .stl or .scc files?
I imported both for a project. I tried deleting the .stl file from the project folder, but the subtitles still appear.

Click in the subtitle area in the track. Either chose "Select all " from the Edit menu, or press Command A. When the subtitles are selected hit Delete button. To remove CC, delete reference file from Line 21 in the Inspector. Don't forget to make a new build.

Closed Caption or Subtitles on Movies in iTunes for AppleTV

I bought an Apple TV Dec 2008 but am waiting for Subtitles or Closed Captions so that I can watch a movie. Does anyone know when they are going to appear? I am nearly deaf. I did rent one that I thought I saw CC on but it turned out it was not. Right now I have to use Netflix while my ATV collects dust. Nice "screen saver" but pretty expensive. Thanks.

I'm disappointed that I can't get the closed caption/subtitles on movies I've rented on iTunes. I'm pretty sure they exist, and if I had the physical DVD I could verify this. Will subtitles be available on Apple TV when they are available on the original? I tried the CC/subtitles on/off and nothing happened.

Closed Caption Features for iTune Movie Downloads?

While I was glad to see that Apple plans to offer a movie download service with the iTunes Store, I'm still inclined to NOT use the service if there's no assurance that closed captioned/subtitled movies will be available as well.
Will iTunes Movie downloads include captioned media?
Today's DVDs all have features enabling us to turn on captions/subtitles and it's already a shame that Netflix, according to a representative's comment made nearly two years ago, will not provide captioned movies "until the near future"...
I hope Apple takes its hearing-impaired (deaf and hard of hearing) customer base into consideration...and it IS a sizeable customer base.

The question on the minds of the millions of deaf and hard of hearing people is whether Apple will make or enable captioning for their downloadable movies. I blogged about this a few weeks ago at HearingExchange online here: http://www.hearingexchange.com/blogs/?p=93 Apple didn't consider people with hearing loss when they made their iPhone non-compatible with hearing aids and cochlear implant processors. For a technology company, they aren't keeping up with accessibility trends. This is both disheartening and disappointing for people who struggle to participate socially and professionally on a daily basis with the world at large.

Captiv5, F4V, mp4 & auto-closed captioning

Hi everyone
I am learning quite a bit about Captivate 5 and have been about 10 learning modules in and getting the hang of it. A large number of our trainees have Apple products and I've found that an *.mp4 video created by publishing the *.cptx file into *.f4v + fixed frame rate and then using Adobe Media Encoder (part of eLearning Suite 2 purchased) to convert *.f4v --> *.mp4 (iPod) and H264 codec - is the best way to allow a Wi-fi connected iPhone/iPod to play.
One issue is that the videos embedded in the presentation have very soft volumes. The video volumes themselves cannot be changed, so I have added closed captioning which works well in *.swf format. However, when converting to the *.f4v or *.mp4 formats, closed captioning is not an option, and I am unable to find a way to always have Captivate have closed captioning without the CC button.
If anyone can think of a way to either increase the video volume within Captivate (I don't have Adobe video tools, just eLearning Suite) or allow for closed captioning to display text during the *.mp4 video, it would be greatly appreciated. The last thing I would like to do is to retype the entire CC script (it's very long) into actual slide elements.
-Todd

You can adjust the volume of audio for any slide using the Adjust Volume button on the Slide Audio dialog.
Conversely, if you have the eLearning Suite you should also have Adobe Soundbooth, which is an excellent audio editor. You can export out the audio for the entire project if desired, edit in Soundbooth, and then reimport again with all slides retaining their same start and end points for audio.
The Closed Captioning is actually created via the playbar skin, so it's not something that gets captured when converting to video format.
If you really want some form of Closed Captioning in the video output you could workaround it by adding your own timed transparent captions against a light or dark coloured highlight box that is set to appear for Rest of Project.

Digital closed caption file encoder

I have traditionally left CC service in the hands of the digital media distributor,
but recently I have a couple of clients asking about bringing it in house.
This thread clearly explains CC export capability from CS5.5 is via print to tape,
not file export.
Is there an industry standard digital closed caption file encoder?
Does anyone have any experience with using PixelTools to
insert closed captioning into an MPEG stream for broadcast?

Out of the box it is not available. From html5 the track element can be used to display closed captions, subtitles etc....
Have you tried overlay [1] and modify video.jsp to include the track element.
