Lose Netflix Closed Caption between TV episodes

I have to access the Apple TV audio menu to reset closed captioning after each and every episode of a Netflix TV series. Is this the way it is suppose to work?

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

TV series closed captioned until the latest episodes!

I have downloaded this TV series, Hells on Wheels, season 2 on iTunes. Due to my hearing impairment, I must view with closed captions. However, this series as initially captioned but the last two aren't!!!! Can anyone shed a light on the reason why this happened???? (Please note this is Australian based iTunes)

I have no idea but you're not the only one with this problem.
i did not download any series where one or two episode is missing Closed Captions, I have been making a wish list of what television series I would like to buy and download (UK iTunes) and noticed that for some different series, it can sometimes be the first episode is missing CC but the rest do, or it may be one or two somewhere in the middle of the season seems to be missing CC.
For example:
When it comes to the British comedy 'Red Dwarf', in Series 1, the first episode is listed as not having CC but the rest of the episodes do have CC. Same for Series 2.
Some Star Trek series, I believe Deep Space Nine, seems to have CC expect for one or two episode here and there.
I strongly agree with you, we need to know why sometimes some episode lacks CC while the while series do, when you compare this to DVDs, all episode do.
So please could someone shed a light on this??

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 and Closed Captioning

Is there a way to turn on Closed Captioning in Netflix when using the AppleTV? I have a PS3 that I use for Hulu Plus, but I use my AppleTV for Netflix. The PS3 has the option of turning on Closed Captioning, but I can't find any such option for the AppleTV. If there is one, can you point me to it? Not the closed Captioning for Apple's rentals. I really don't want to use the PS3 for Netflix, but I feel I almost have to because of this issue.

To turn on CC and subtitles:
Go to Settings -> Audio & Video -> Subtitle Language to turn off or select the language of choice for subtitles
In Audio & Video -> Closed Captioning to turn on or off CC.
Most movies in the Apple store do not have CC. All movies in Netflix do not have CC or subtitles on the ATV2 but only on the PC/Mac and one of the game consoles I read have an add-on to get it to work. I have heard nothing on when the CC or subtitles will be ported to the ATV2.
Hope that helps

How can I use closed captioning with Netflix movies?

Any help from the community on how to be able to see closed captioning on Netflix movies; works with movies from iTunes?

Hm, Id really like to figure this out also. It bothers me to see my laptop screen out of the corner of my eye using my 30in. Its kind of stupid but, still bothers me.
edit: That was way to easy. Just close the laptop and let the bluetooth mouse wake it back up. I had tried it once before and it didnt work. Maybe I was just to impatient to wait the extra 10 secs.

HT204390 Before the recent iOS 7 update I could get closed captioning on amazon prime movies, now it's not possible even the ones that have CC available .. I've turned in on in setting on my iPad mini but it doesn't work. Netflix is no problem.

Try this - Reset the iPad by holding down on the Sleep and Home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons. (This is equivalent to rebooting your computer.) No data/files will be erased.

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>

Missing closed captioning from episodes

I recently updated my iTunes to version 8 and have activated the closed captioning option, however, the shows I have downloaded are not showing the captioning at all. This is odd since they are closed captioned on Television and DVD's.
Season 5 of Stargate Atlantis is not available to Canadian viewers yet accept through iTunes or expensive movie packages from Starchoice. I tried two episodes through iTunes and they were not captioned.
This is frustrating for me since I'm hard of hearing and have trouble following the dialogue during scenes of intense action or tons of technical jargon (ever tried to lipread McKay?).
I would love to watch the new season via iTunes but unfortunately they are too dimwitted to include captioning...

Closed captioning is activated on STB directly. Use the * button to goggle through options.

How do I turn on closed caption on my apple tv for netflix

How do I turn on closed caption on my apple tv for netflx? I was able before I updated 2 days ago all I had to do was press the silver button in the middle of the circle with the arrows and it will bring me to audio/closed caption menu now I get noting just a bling sound

Free / open source Closed Captioning software?

I'd like to add closed captions to a feature film I produced. I understand the difference between closed captioning (which is embedded in the video and decoded by the TV) and DVD subtitles, and I would like to add real closed captioning.
Is there any free / open source Mac-compatible closed captioning software I can use to add captions to my feature film and create a .cc file for importing into DVD Studio Pro?
I'm more than comfortable with steep learning curves and X11 interfaces. If I have to use a text editor and timecodes, that's fine too. I just need that .cc file to add true closed captioning to my video, and I don't have the dough for commercial CC software.
Thanks!

my company does offer closed captioning as a service, Kelly is correct when he says the software is very expensive. as far as creating a .scc file with a text editor, i don't believe it is possible but i may be wrong. when opening a .scc or .cc file in a text editor, it does look like a bunch of "gobbledygook". but the .cap file that is used to create the .scc or .cc file looks a bit more manageable and could possibly be created without captioning software, again i may be wrong and have never attempted to do it. but say you could do it, you could save a bunch of money by creating the .cap file and giving it to someone who has the software to convert it to .scc or .cc. if that seems overwhelming and want to job it out, you could save some money by transcribing the video yourself which is a significant part of the cost when outsourcing. here is a sample of what a .cap file looks like:

Closed Captioning Window slow to open

We have a team member using CP7 on a Win7 machine having a delay when he opens the closed captioning window. It can take up to 10 seconds for the window to open.
We just put him on someone elses machine and it didn't do that even when logged in with his credentials. He says it has done that through all the versions of Captivate that he's used on the XP and Win7 platforms and on previous computers.
Does anyone have an idea of what might be causing this?
Thank you,
Susan

Here's the fix to which I was referring, supplied by a colleague on Linked-In:
"There are 2 instances of a codec that need to be turned into a .bak file.
First you go into C/program files/Adobe Media Encoder CS5/MediaIO/codecs to find a file "SurCodeWrapper.vca" Change it to "SurCodeWrapper.vca.bak" do the same thing in C/program files/AdobePremiereProCS5/MediaIO/codecs with the "SurCodeWrapper.vca file there too. This WILL fix the lag. I think you lose surround sound encoding by doing this, but this hasn't been a problem for me."

HBOGO Airplay Closed Captions not working?

I have an iPad2 and an AppleTV3.
HBOGO Closed Captions works fine on my iPad. As soon as I airplay it to my AppleTV, however, the CC disappear even as I toggle them on and off on the iPad. While holding down on the AppleTV remote's center button usually brings up a subtitle menu on Netflix or movie Airplay's from my computer, doing so on HBOGO Airplaying does nothing.
Has anyone gotten HBOGO CC to work on iPad Airplaying?
Thanks!

To turn off the subtitles you have to go back to the show/movie you were watching NOT THE SETTING MENU. Then you click and hold the center button. A menu will pop up. Turn closed captions to OFF. Once you have done that press "menu" to exit back to the program. Happy watching! (From our 12 year old.)
Finally! Thanks, Loqwood. This worked like a charm.

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.

How do I remove closed captioning on ATV?

My ATV has somehow acquired Closed Captioning for all the movies & tv shows that I watch. My reg. tv has the closed captioning turned OFF, and when I warch reg. tv I do not have this issue. When I go into Netflix on ATV, all of my movies have that disconcerting "text" for CC on it.
Have I done something silly that can be easily fixed, or should I reset ATV?
Thanks

I bought a brand new ATV 3 two days ago. I had the same problem with closed captions displaying, even though in settings it said CC was turned off. Instead of toggling that setting on & then off again, being new to the ATV I decided to first set up a distinctive, garish custom CC style to make sure it was the ATV that was displaying the captions & not something else.
Even though I had not toggled the setting on & off again or selected my custom CC style, when I exited settings the captions were no longer displayed. So it seems it is a lot like some preference settings in OS X: when they aren't doing what they are supposed to do, changing any of their options sometimes fixes whatever is wrong, even if it isn't a problem with that specific option.

Can you do Closed Captioning on FCP HD

I have been using FCP to create a few TV programs and need to create closed captioning, but I can't seem to figure out if I can use FCP to generate closed captioning.
Anyone know how to create closed captioning in a FCP environment?
Thanks,
Wil

Wai a second. So my clients won't know the difference between subtitling and the closted captioning? Does subtitling run on line 21 as well?
<
Well, I've never met your clients but 90% of mine have no clue.
Subtitling is permanently burned into the image. Could be another language but could be the native or local language written out for the hard of hearing or to make poor audio intelligible.
Captioning (open/closed) is user-activated at the playback device. All TVs have CC switchable display. But there are several flavors of captioning including multiple language encoding.
