CC has been broken in ivtv since after 0.10.1, I'm not sure what happened but that's the last time anyone remembered it ever working. As I also understand, Hans has been working on the code, which is graciously tested by a couple of North American users, but it is still slow. Although there is a standard for embedding CC's into an MPEG stream, ivtv uses its own for some reason (as per the Tech Help at VideoReDo.com). So far, I know that ccextractor.exe is able to extract the CC data to an srt file which most video players will read if its name matches the video file. However, if you run it through a program to remove the commercials first (VideoReDo for me), the processing wipes out the CC data. Hope that helps.

Is there anything that can use that information? I think I read that the format is an IVTV invention. -- Bryan Henderson San Jose, California _______________________________________________ ivtv-users mailing list [email protected] http://ivtvdriver.org/mailman/listinfo/ivtv-users Be smarter than spam.
