This is my implementation in compliance with the recently supported CC standard with iTunes/QuickTime movies. I also included a “how to” video for adding CC…

Gary,

I think you have confuse between subtitle and captioning. Please visit Banjo’s about SDH and CC.

I disagree, with Sara.
You see, some videos/dvd’s are captioned but the captioning will wear out, much faster than the video, itself.
Also, when I’ve watched a DVD, where both captioning and subtitles are available, I’ve watch both and found that subtitles include more…such as the background sounds.
When the captioning is poorly typed, the subtitles are better. I just wonder what would happen, if they began subtitling the evening news, where the spelling is horrendous!!!

I saw those 2 videos too, but then read that there’s no captions so I didn’t buy them.

If the captions really are CLOSED then they won’t need to have multiple copies (closed caption) and not CC. But I really DO hope they get a labeling system so we know, or have the CC show up when you preview.
