Hi all, I've moved the CEA-608/708 conversion document out of the wiki into a proper W3C document and updated the spec. This will also go towards satisfying the FCC needs for captions for online video. For now the document is an unofficial draft, available at: https://dvcs.w3.org/hg/text-tracks/raw-file/669f6b95a488/608toVTT/608toVTT.html I propose to make it a CG document. Accepting it as a CG document puts it into Editor Draft status - it wouldn't meant that this document is finished, of course. There are still a number of open issues. To summarize my approach: * I've gone through the CEA-608/708 feature set and replicated them as WebVTT features. * This required making use of file-wide metadata. [1] * This also required making use of CSS features. Since it's a limited set of CSS features, it's quite simple to provide a "default CSS file" for CEA-608/708 features. [2] * I've not been able to replicate the roll-up feature [3] since we don't have a recommended solution for this yet [4]. * Probably need to dig more into 708 features and provide more CSS solutions for them. I would welcome technical input. Best Regards, Silvia.
