<br>MythTV, as you say, does put the closed captions in the MPEG file but<br>they are in a ivtv specific format due to the limitations of the<br>hardware. What you can do is set up ccextractor or another extraction<br>applications that understand the ivtv CC format as a MythTV user job
<br>that is run once the recording completes. Then you can use a transcoder<br>that understands the extracted caption stream to create an open<br>captioned stream. The MythTV video player actually understands some<br>external captions, if it finds "*.srt", "*.sub" or "*.txt" style
<br>captions in the same directory as the video file it will decode them.<br>Of course, this won't help on Microsoft Windows.<br></blockquote></div><br>What about "commercial" DVD players? Can we add the *.srt (or whatever ccextractor produces) to a DVD iso image before we burn a disk to take on a trip to play in our laptop or the hotel provided player?
