i need DVD watching software that enables CC

was looking at winDVD as i used it back when 4 was a new thing, but i wasnt deaf then, so i dunno and i dont have it anymore

anyways, what im wondering is does that, or another program enable closed captioning, now keep in mind theres a difference between CC and subtitles

anyways thanks for the help

 

Not being deaf the only advice I can give is to try this link at Gallaudet College which may help link http://www.gallaudet.edu/ Hope that Helps

 

i live not far from that college, i dont go there tho

i was hoping maybe someone was familiar with software for watching DVDs, maybe they had seen the option to turn it on

 

It looks to me that such software may be unavailable. From what I grasp, CC are decoded by a chip in your TV not the DVD player. So DVD software won't decode them either. It's your TV that does the work and a computer doesn't have a decoder chip.

There also some very complicated DVD ripping techniques that involve ripping the CC from the disc and then reburning the disc with the CC as subtitles. Apparently it is made difficult to enforce copyright and region coding. You are probably best off watching DVDs on TV.

 

thanks for the info sach, i put in an email to this woman that handles all technology for the deaf in VA, ill post if she gives any thoughts

 

I may be wrong. I use the KMPlayer and it supposedly plays CC. I just looked at mine and it has an enable CC option. Unfortunately, I don't have any DVD's that are CC to test it. It's a good media player, free so worth a try. The website is Korean and I can never find the downloads on the English site. On this Korean site in the first post just click on "Full ?? EXE ??". It's a perfectly safe installer file, menus in english, I've used KMP for years never a problem. This is the official site.

Once installed, you click on the K at the top left, select Open Standard Video Device. It will start the disc and along bottom of player is a menu button, inside is enable closed caption. Worth a shot.
