Which information does Closed Captioning usually display? Whatever they typed in at the production. Quote:
Is it possible to display Closed Captions from a NTSC-DVD using region-free PAL-equipment? No. You need either an additional CC-Decoder, a TV-Set with built-in decoder, or your DVD-player on your PC might be able to decode CC. CC isn't about the contents, it marks a video-based placement of the subtitle which differ from the native datastream-based subtitles DVD have. cya, Mithi cya, Mithi | | | | Mithi's little XSLT tinkering - the power of XML --- DVD-Profiler Mini-Wiki |

No. You can see it with certain software DVD players - PowerDVD is able to show you Closed Captioning, for instance. That way, you can easily see the difference.

I do not think, for PAL systems there is an equivalent of US Closed Captioning for recorded media. Although Teletext is very common in Europe, it is not mandatory in TV sets. Recorded media are unlikely to use that format, and I have never seen this being used. | | | | Hans |
