Displaying closed captions -- caption positions not recognized

I was suggested to file this by Jean-Baptiste Kempf.

Closed captions carry a location code which is present in the stream (EIA-608/708). What I attempted to do was to view a DVD file (ie: VOB) with VLC and it did display the captions but they were all placed at the bottom of the screen and centered while the location should have varied (left or right, justified and not). When I burned it to an actual DVD and played it on an actual DVD player, the positions were intact. I also tried viewing the DVD via VLC and the positions did not work -- all the captions remained at the bottom and centered. I attemped to view the file with WMP and it displayed correctly.

I was using VLC player v1.1.11 and had the "closed captions" selection on under "subtitle track". The captions were encoded into the VOB file using an .scc file (Scenarist format).

Here is the link to download a file to test positions: http://www.intercaption.com/VIDEO_TS.zip Please inform me when you have downloaded the file so that I can clear it from my server.

Please feel free to contact me (daveh@intercaption.com) with questions. I can provide and test files as needed to solve this issue.

Thanks, Dave Hall
