Close Caption

[rudolfo2]

I would like to see CC option added to VLC player.I'm using now for CC DVDs Power DVD which works just fine with CC but would drop it if VLC would play CC too.

By CC, do you mean Line Twenty-One closed captioning?

The problem of Closed Captioning is that there are multiple things called Closed Captioning, and that it's mostly a USA thing, and not a European or Asian standard.

1: Line 21 Analog encoded VBI data can contain CC
2: DVD MPEG2 can contain digital CC
3: None of the developers lives in a country (USA) that activily uses CC
4: CC is not only Closed Captioning, it's also a Closed standard, which makes it a bit more difficult to develop for.

I know it's a problem. and it's on the todo list, but like everyone knows, the TODO list is huge and there are only a couple of developers.
