Display Closed Captions: Video (.avi) + Subtitles (.srt)

Hello.
I am trying and failing to play a video with soft subtitles. Is there a way to do this without using software to hard-code/embed the subtitles onto the Video.avi file?
- My 'videos' folder contains two files with the same name but different extensions (Video.avi and Video.srt)
- In the video playback options I have checked the 'Display Closed Captions' box.
Thanks.

Hi. What we do is resize the project as one of the last steps in the development process. We resize the height only, adding about 45 pixels. We position the existing project at the top, thus adding about 45 pixels at the bottom as a "footer". This footer then contains the playbar and also leaves enough room for two lines of closed captioning. Of course we have to take this extra space into consideration when we do our original screen captures. We capture at 1005 x 605, then resize twice --- the first time to add 25 pixels to the top for a header, then the second time to add 45 pixels to the bottom for a footer. Each time we keep the original project the same size and fill the background with color, so the actual screen captures do not get rescaled. The end result is a published project that is 1005 x 675.
The other alternative is to position the application you are capturing on a blank desktop background and capture the application window and some of the extra blank desktop background below the window. But this method prevents you from using the "snap to fit" option when capturing an application.
I hope this makes sense.

How to get embedded closed captioned videos to display captions in Acrobat?

I created closed captioned QuickTime videos using Premiere Pro CC. I then place them in an an InDesign document and set the Media parameters to show the little captioning icon (SkinOverPlayCaption). When I export to an EPUB (Fixed Layout), Apple's iBook (Mac OS and iOS) have no trouble presenting the closed captions (**very very sweet**).
**BUT** when I export as a PDF (Interactive), I get the embedded video with a the little captioning icon on the controller, but when I play the video I can't seem to get the captions to appear (either embedded, floating window, or full screen).
My client's Section 508 compliance officer isn't very happy. Can someone help me? Please?
Thanks!

Even after updating to v4.4, I still can't get closed captioning to work on Apple TV movies (not Netflix) I tried to press the up arrow button and then hold down the select button but I can only see the chapter list, not the cc menu. Closed captioning is enabled in the settings menu and the movies I rented all feature a cc option. Quite disappointing I would say and a big let down from Apple. This will make me think twice before renting any other movie.

Apple TV 2 - Can it display closed captions for the hearing impaired?

I have not seen a direct answer to this question anywhere, even on the web. If I buy a movie/TV show DVD, I get closed captions. If I rent or buy from iTunes or some other source, does this mean there are no closed captions to display, or does it mean that Apple TV 2 cannot display the closed captions? It is especially helpful with British shows. We use closed captions all the time for everything else. If it cannot be displayed, Apple TV 2 is largely useless for us. Note: many Boomers (we with the money to spend, not the 15 year olds!) have damaged hearing- they should be included in marketing.

The easiest way to find videos with closed captioning is to select Column Browser->Show Column Browser from the View menu in iTunes. Select a category and then look for titles displaying the CC icon. You can then rent them in iTunes or find them in the Menu in the ATV and rent them there.

How to get AirPlay to display closed captions?

I start playing a streaming video on my iPad -- it has closed captions ON on the iPad and I do see the captions on the iOS device.
However, when I switch that video to play on our TV (via the connected AppleTV) the video does play but the captions do not show up.
I have forced the closed captioning to be ON on the ATV (in Its General settings) but that doesn't get the video's captions to appear.
I can get videos (played from my iTunes library - i.e., not using AirPlay) to display CC on the AppleTV so it doesn't seem to be a problem inherent in the ATV to not display captions. Is there something about AirPlay that causes the captions to be suppressed?

See this article.

Problem rendering closed caption video with PremierePro CC 2014

I am on a Mac running Yosemite and using Premiere Pro CC 2014. No matter how I try to render video with closed captioning (embedded or with a side car file in various formats) I cannot render a file that contains the closed captioning. I have followed the tutorials, but cannot produce a file that has readable closed captioning either in the Quicktime player nor when I import the generated file back into Premiere Pro.
Any hidden tricks? Tips? Help!

Here is the project screen shot:

Firefox needs closed caption video, when will you catch up with others?

Not all of your users are young and have excellent hearing. I was in WWII and can't understand the sound in your help video, therefore, can't find out about V4.
Other sites on the Internet have a closed caption option. A small CC icon in the lower right corner. Software for dictation of letters, or control of computers is readily available, which is what the others use.
I'm aware that the staff is mostly volunteer, but adding gimicks I don't want and can't learn about from your videos (that take time and energy to make) may drive me back to another browser, or forgive me for the thought, Microsoft!
Sorry for sounding like an old grouch, because I'm getting there.
How will the new deaf age: the Baby Boomers and younger that make boom boxes of their cars, be able to hear and understand your videos?

No, don't expect a reply.
If they had to acknowledge all the thousands of (good and bad) suggestions they receive they would be doing little else!

Captions of closed captioned videos are cut off in iBooks.

I have created an iBook that was ADA compliant. When it was first uploaded to the iBooks store, the captions of my videos were fine. After a second upload, the captions of my videos will not show up until after six to seven seconds into the video. Has anyone else encounterd this problem?

It sounds like a problem with Flash Player. Try going to another video website like Vimeo and see if videos play there. If they do, try clearing your cookies and cache. You might also want to clean out temp files. If videos don't play anywhere, reinstalling the latest version of flash might help.

I have purchased many movies on iTunes, now they are adding closed captioning or subtitles to those movies, BUT can not reload them so I can view those subtitles. I am mentally disabled and need the subtitles.

Hello, To start off, I have been a member of iTunes for awhile and have been content with them, until now. I am legally disabled due to a head injury that happened when I was a teenager. I am everyday functional, but I do need closed captioning(cc) or subtitles to understand the movie or TV show. I have purchased lots of movies and TV shows from iTunes. As any new business does, iTunes has updated itself and added features for their customers. They figure out what the consumers want and like. I started to realize that iTunes added subtitles for the deaf and disabled, but as I was told by Apple there was nothing I could do about reloading those already purchased movies, to include the cc or subtitles. Since then, I don't use iTunes and it's a real shame because I love electronics and it's technology. I wish Apple would work with the consumer. Why can't I reload the iTunes movies on my PC (Win7) with the subtitles, which they now offer, but didn't when I purchased them? To me, that is wrong to do that to a customer. Now that they are including cc/subtitles , everyone is able to enjoy iTunes and not be excluded. Someone__please explain this to me. Thank you for reading this.
Carrie-

Untill the movie studios agree to allow past downloads of movies outside of the US, you aill always have to have a copy of purchased movies on your computer. If not, you will have to buy them again if you delete them.

Closed caption & subtitles trouble on ipod

I have two problems with my 16G ipod.
1. When I download movies it plays great but I spend more time reading the subtitles than watching the movie. I don't have the closed caption on or subtitles. How can I get rid of this problem.
2. My ipod gets hot it that normal?

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

Embedded closed captions not viewable

I have read most of the threads on embedded closed captions in this forum and after experiencing similar problems I have come to the conclusion that embedding captions in QT .mov files is not properly implemented. I could be wrong. I hope someone can show that is the case.
Steps taken:
1) created a closed caption track in a 2:40 minute Video as the top level video track (V4 in my case) using the CEA 608 CC1 caption stream. Captions show up in the program window properly enabled.
2) Exported the entire clip directly from Premier Pro CC 2014 as a Quicktime .mov file with captions "embedded in Output file" (also tried exporting through Media Encoder--same results noted below).
Closed captions DO NOT show up in the resulting .mov file when played in Quicktime Player 10.3 on a Mac running OSX 10.9.5, even with subtitles set to "automatic"
Closed captions DO NOT show up in VLC Media Player 2.1.5 or 2.0.5.
Closed captions DO NOT show up when the .mov file is imported into an iPad Air running IOS 10.1.1 and played in Safari. This is my target destination and is critical.
Closed captions DO show up when the mov file is re-imported into Premier Pro and that clip is active in the preview window.
Closed captions DO show up when the .mov file is played on Quicktime Player 7 when "Show closed captioning" is active in the "View" menu. Quicktime Player 7 reveals that a "Closed Captions" video track exists as track #3 in the mov file under "Movie Properties".
I have uploaded the .mov file discussed above and made it available for public download if anyone can help me figure out how to get closed captioning to work. It is intended to be played on an iPad from a Self-Guided Tour app under development, which will play it using the native IOS video player when the file thumbnail is clicked. If the IOS Video Player is the same as QT Player 10.3 on a Mac, it defaults to "subtitles automatic". I don't know for certain,however.

Thanks for the posting on the forums here. I downloaded your file and I looked at it in the following places:
GENERAL PLAYBACK MAC
10.8.5 (12F45)
with QuickTime 10.3
I could see the closed captioning in the player.
with PPRO CC 2014
Closed captioning intact and viewable in the app
10.9 (13A603)
with QuickTime 10.3 (727.1)
I could see the closed captioning in the player -- had to set it under View-> Subtitles-> English CC
with PPRO CC 2014
Closed captioning intact and viewable in the app
10.9 updated to 10.9.5 (13F34)
with QuickTime 10.3 (727.4)
Closed captions are not being displayed, under any setting (choice is Off or AUTO) -- appears to be an update problem.
This is not just a failure of PPRO embedded closed caption MOVs, but also embedded MOVs from other closed caption authoring solutions like Telestream, and Annotation Edit.
I can log a bug on my side, but the problem is not in PPRO -- I'd check with Apple on this.
with PPRO CC 2014
Closed captioning intact and viewable in the app
VLC MEDIA PLAYER
It appears from my quick testing with VLC Media Player -- VLC Media Player is not detecting embedded closed captions in files from PPRO, nor from other industry standard closed caption authoring solutions, like from Telesteam, they make MacCaption and Caption Maker. I also checked embedded files from Annotation Edit, another widely used caption authoring solution, and VLC Media Player does not detect embedded closed captioning in those files, either.
I encourage you to look on the side of VLC Media Player for the failure to display closed captions.
IPAD AIR PLAYBACK
In my testing, I did not test this equipment configuration. If you think you have a problem, please consider logging a bug.
Thanks again for posting here, I hope I answered your questions! If not, let me know, and I'll reply again.

Converting VHS to DVD with preserved closed captions

Can this be done via DV capture?
I'm trying to convert some of my old out of print VHS tapes to DVD, since they are obscure enough to probably never see an official DVD release. I figured firewire/DV would be perfect for the job because...well, my Mac already has that built-in. My intended workflow is to capture via DV using an ADS Pyro A/V Link analog->DV converter box (see tip below if you're trying something similar by the way).
Anyway, being the quasi-perfectionist that I am, I'd like to make as close a copy to the original as possible, preserving the closed captions. In researching this I've found that this data is stored in "line 21" which is normally not a viewable portion of the video signal, rather like metadata. I have read that DV does support this data in the "VAUX" data area, however before I even begin, I am concerned that any step of my intended workflow might not preserve this data (reencoding in the converter box, transferring into iMovie/FCP, reencoding onto DVD). I presume that any amount of editing to the captured video will hose the captions if they are preserved, but I'd only shorten the black padding at the beginning and ending of the program if anything, which I can't imagine would scramble it too bad.
I have read many suggestions of just manually transposing the CC text to subtitles instead, however since the DVD spec does support true closed captions, I figure it's gotta be possible somehow.
I'd like to be able to do this without purchasing a PCI capture card. And I'd also like to be able to do this without spending $6000 on a certain Mac captioning app (a ridiculous price for functionality which in my opinion should be free). I've seen some pretty cheap VCR+DVD combo standalone units on the market, but I'd like to think my Mac, as expensive as it was, will suffice.
Am I asking too much? Should I just give it a try to see if everything magically works? And if my current setup is not up to this task, what sort of setup would I need to realize my goal?
(Tip: By the way, if anyone is trying to convert VHS to DVD with a similar setup, be warned that the marketers of such analog->DV converter boxes generally don't mention that you'll also need a time base corrector (TBC) to do anything useful with less-than-perfect analog source video; I've found that without such a device, the video tends to drop frames like mad on rough spots of the source tape [I'm talking drops measured in seconds]. Too bad TBCs cost more than the converter box itself usually. Odd that those VCR+DVD combo boxes ostensibly must have a built-in TBC by definition, and yet often are cheaper than a standalone TBC...)
Power Mac G4 dual 867 Mirrored Drive Doors Mac OS X (10.4.4)

Ok well I tested it by going VCR->DV converter->iMovie->iDVD, and the closed captions were lost at some point. The tape does have closed captions when played in the VCR, and I know my DVD player displays closed captions properly (I tested a commercial disc both in the Mac and in a standalone DVD player and those showed captions), but the DVD I created doesn't display closed captions either in the Mac DVD Player or the standalone unit.
So...anyone think maybe importing into Final Cut Pro and burning with DVD Studio Pro would work better for this than iMovie? I imagine there would be no difference (since iDVD uses the same Compressor app as DVDSP).
So I guess I'm stuck. At this point I can't even use the DVD/VCR dub machine since it won't allow dubbing of copy-protected tapes (even though this tape will likely never see a DVD release and it's crappy VHS quality anyway and it's just for my own personal use as a backup)...any suggestions?

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.

How Do I Enable Closed Captions in iTunes 11?

In iTunes 10 I had enabled Preferences>Playback>Show closed captioning when available. This check box has been removed from iTunes 11. How do I enable closed captioning in iTunes 11?
Thanks in advance,
Steve = : ^ )

Thanks. This represents a change in conceptualisation from Apple. Previously, closed captions were part of Accessibilty and it was assumed that anyone usings captions would want them on 24/7. It still works this way on iOS devices. On the Apple TV, e.g., closed captions are enabled for the device, via Settings > General > Accessibility > Closed Captions + SDH. Once enabled, captions will be displayed for any content that has them.
Subtitles on the other hand (and subtitles may be in the same language as the audio, they're not just 'foreign') must be enabled or disabled per item of content via the Subtitles menu, which is arrived at by holding the centre button on the remote.
This was the way it used to work in iTunes also. Rolling the Closed Captions into the subtitles menu is new, though I guess it makes sense.

Is there any Closed Caption material on iTunes?

Apple TV has the option to enable Closed Captioning under Video in Settings, but are there any movies that will display closed captioning when this option is enabled?
Thanks....

My wife and I watch movies when the kids are in bed since it's like our only TV. So we've always depended on CC. Rented our first movie, "Mr. Brooks", and no CC. Quite annoying. DVDs always have it, you'd think Mr. Jobs would get with the program.

Closed Captions in Premiere Pro CS5.5 | Adobe Evangelists - Karl Soule | Adobe TV

In this episode of Short and Suite, Karl Soule shows how to import Closed Caption files such as .scc and .mcc and embed them into the timeline. You'll also learn how to preview closed captioning directly in Premiere Pro, as well as how to output your closed captioned video for broadcast.
http://adobe.ly/ymUxiX

I'm trying to output captions on CC3 but it's not working. They're only showing up when set to CC1. I've done a lot of searching online and found nothing regarding this in Premiere, wondering if you can help?
The CC files are .scc, made with MovieCaptioner by SynchriMedia. I have a Blackmagic HD Extreme 3D card installed, and I've confirmed that the captions do not display on my external monitor as well unless it is set to CC1.
It seems like changing the CC channel in Premiere doesn't actually change which channel Premiere is encoding to. I've also found no info on if the channel of the CC is actually embedded in the .scc files. I have found through MacCaption's user manuals though that any caption file can be set to different channels through MacCaption's own encoder setting, which makes me believe the problem is in fact within Premiere not properly changing the channel.
Any help would be greatly appreciated, thanks,
Jeremy
