After recompiling of libs & vlc with -fPIC, I got the fast 64-bit machine running. From the mpeg samples here: http://www.pixeltools.com/tech_tip_closed_captioning.html Viewing under tools->codec information: atsc: no cc 608-field1: no cc 708-dtv: no cc 708-field1: cc stream present 708-both: 1 ...

Well, I have tried a few things. First, I enable zvbi and libmpeg explicitly. Again the only mpeg that has a cc stream in the codec information (and on the screen) is 708ntsc_field1. (See the first post for the link to the mpeg samples for 608 vs 708, CEA/ATSC/DVD). The machine was old, 2000 vintage...

zvbi: no
libmpeg2: yes (because it looks like the default is that way.)

I'll recompile with both explicitly enabled and post the result.

Thanks j-b. After a couple of days for building a fresh machine: Fresh compile of 1.0.0-pre2 under brand-new (fully updated) fedora-10, fresh compile of ffmpeg, libmad, liba52. Same result. (The only video I see CC option for is 708ntsc_field1.mpg under right click -> video -> subtitles track.) Q's:...

To clarify: "VLC only displays " should read instead

For me, VLC displays only the 708ntsc_field1 closed-captions. For all of the other files, the closed captions are missing.

(The video itself plays fine in all cases. JUst the closed captions are missing.)

On VLC version 0.9.8a (Grishenko): I have a question about closed-captions (CC are not subtitles). There are two major standards (608 vs 708) with several subdivisions in those standards. Can anyone confirm if they can play out the 7 standards shown on this page (the second section has 5 second mpg ...
