Closed captions are TV subtitles that you can turn on and off. The
|
|
term Closed Captions refer to TV subtitles in NTSC, such as the US
|
|
or Canada. In Europe Teletext (usually page 888) is used for
|
|
subtitling.
|
|
|
|
CCExtractor supports only American TV captions. It will not work
|
|
with European or Australian subtitles.
|
|
|
|
Basically, it can extract closed captions from an mpeg stream (such as
|
|
a DVD) and produce srt files with both the subtitles and timing information.
|
|
|
|
Note that closed captions sometimes are ALL CAPS, so further processing might
|
|
be needed.
|
|
|
|
In the simplest case, mplayer -subcc can tell you if closed captions exist.
|
|
Then use mplayer -dumpstream to dump the full video stream, and ccextractor
|
|
on the resulting file to get the subtitles (for instance).
