Not thwhy they still use CC? What's the benefit when compared with standard subtitling feature? The only benefit: it is already there! (in most cases) Otherwise CC can do nothing subtitles can't. cya, Mithi | | | | Mithi's little XSLT tinkering - the power of XML --- DVD-Profiler Mini-Wiki |

A lot of TV programming is closed captioned. If you have a TV that decodes them (or a CC converter box) then you can see it scroll what is being said on the screen. They often broadcast closed captioning for live programming also...with typo errors as expected. Very usefull when I watch the US TV channel (I understand the language but it's easier with it). But since I mostly watch court show I can't say that my TV watching is that usefull  But I've have a crush on the Judge marilyn milian   |

| | Posted: | | | | HDMI connections does not currently have any way to transmit closed captioning as the standards called for it. There are apparently two separate standards, the Line 21 standard, and the more modern MPEG standards. The vast majority of televisions available today does not support the second standard over HDMI connection. Also, the vast majority of contents are using the older Line 21 standard, which can not be sent over HDMI connections. | | | We don't need stinkin' IMDB's errors, we make our own.

cya, Mithi Not quite, Mithi. One feature about CC that subtitles lack -- is that live programming often is closed captioned but never subtitled. The main benefit to hearing impared viewers is that live programs are often closed captioned. Like news shows, for example. That's why the televisions in the US since (I forget the date) with a screen larger than 12" (?) have had to include CC. Captions are fine for taped programs -- where someone has plenty of time to do the captions in post production. But they would be of no use to someone who wants to watch the evening news. Since the technology exists and is used for live programming, it only makes sense to include it in DVDs -- even when there are captions. And not all English captions are SDH (including sounds along with spoken words) so CC provides data otherwise unavailable to hearing impaired viewers. | | | Another Ken (not Ken Cole)

| | Posted: | | | | I've tested the DVD with PowerDVD (a quite old version) and the menu item for CC is greyed out.
(They must have added this menu item by a mysterious and not explainable process the last days - or maybe I was just a little bit blind ^^) |
