Closed Captions Question
Posted: 26 Jun 2008 01:10
Hi, I'm new here, and decided to join to get an important question answered. I switched to Ubuntu Linux over two months ago and I'm hard of hearing.
Does VLC support closed captions or not? If it does how do I turn them on when I'm watching DVDs? If it doesn't, when will closed caption support be available? I did a search on this forum, but still didn't get a clear answer.
Two more things that aren't as important:
1) Can there be an option for VLC to "remember" to have subtitles on? Every time I restart the player, I have to turn the subtitles back on.
2) How do I set it up so that when I put a DVD in, VLC automatically starts and opens the DVD?
Other than those things, I love VLC and its interface more so than any DVD player, except for Windows Media Player (b/c it displays captions!)
If VLC can't display captions, then is there any other dvd player for linux that does? I can't seem to find any and it's very frustrating as some DVDs only have CC and I prefer CC anyway.
