Hi Alexandra,
FWIW, closed captions are important to me, too. In my case, I wanted
to be able to burn DVDs of MythTV recordings that preserved closed
captions. If DVDs with closed captions in the form of subtitles would
work for you, then you might like to try my solution. You can read all
the details here:
http://www.hbuus.com/cc2subtitles/
Even if my solution doesn't exactly meet your needs, I might be able
to adapt it to do what you want. That's because it uses libzvbi, from
the zapping project that also provided the zvbi program you're trying
to use, and it can be configured to save different file formats, like
SRT. If you'd like to discuss the possibilities,
I welcome you to contact me off list, since I think we're straying
away from a ivtv driver issue.
Helen,
I respectfully disagree. :)
This is certainly on topic for an ivtv-users list discussion. Only the
ivtv and cx18 driver use the ivtv embedded VBI private packets. A linux
kernel driver isn't worth much without effective methods for use by
applications and end users.
Plus once potential solutions are discussed on list, they'll be archived
in the list archive for others to find later.
Regards,
Andy
Thanks for your assessment on what is and isn't on topic. Perhaps the fact that
I've posted the link to my solution is sufficient at this time?
I am helping Alexandra to get it working for her. Mostly issues with Debian
package management tools, like when to be root. Although Alexandra's experience
has made me aware of one step I need to add to my documentation.
If you feel our conversation belongs on list, I'll forward what's transpired so
far, with Alexandra's permission, and continue the conversation on list.
Regards,
Helen
