Is closed captioning supported? which standard?

I am using VLC to watch DVB streaming, wondering if Closed caption is supported.

I assume that DVB is using
ATCS A/53 CEA/CEB 708
closed caption.

Thanks.

CC are supported from version 0.9 in the following formats: DVD, ReplayTV, TiVo, DVB/ATSC.

[yardern]

Thanks.

I am watching DVB streaming, but I don't have any closed caption.
I am sure the program has Closed caption.
VLC is v1.

How can I have it working please?

[yardern]

There is directshow filter called cccp.ax which will extract Closed caption from DVB-S then feed to Line 21 decoder.

Is it possible to use it in VLC please?

By the way, cccp.ax is open source.

[VLC_help]

No. You can't use Directshow filters with VLC.

Thanks for the answer.

Ah, it's EIA 708. I think only EIA 608 is supported so far. If you can provide samples, that would surely help.

Please report under which name you uploaded the file.

Great!

I have uploaded a movie clip and cccp source. Hope it helps.

The file's names are:

Closed Caption EIA708.ts
Core_Closed_Caption_Parser_Source.7z

Thanks

I have added support to our libmpeg2 module to handle these subtitles. I'm not sure if we will still see it in 0.9.* But it will definitely be in 1.0.0

[yardern]

Thanks. Let's wait...

Does it mean I can get it from a nightly built? Which date please?
Cannot wait to see...

Did it made it to 0.9x? on which platform (Linux,MAC, Windows)?

[Jean-Baptiste Kempf]

Do you have a sample?

[itbe]

I think I can load a sample, where to?

Can you also take a look at the thread of "How to compile 0.9.x plugin (OSX)" on the MAC section?

[Jean-Baptiste Kempf]

To our ftp incoming on streams.videolan.org

Just finished uploading them, you can find an MPEG2 - MPEG2 CC21_20 XDS.mpg and H.264 - H264 CC21_20 MP3.mpg files

J-B,

Any news with the files that I have posted?

[Jean-Baptiste Kempf]

Yes, do you have more details about those?

[itbe]

What kind of details are you looking for? (I got all the details you need)

[Jean-Baptiste Kempf]

What standard of CC, what source, etc...

[itbe]

j-b,

Source is a digital tape, CC is SCTE21 that contains EIA-608 and EIA-708.

[Jean-Baptiste Kempf]

Are you sure it is not SCTE20 ?
