It depends what you want from the closed captioning. If you are happy just to overlay the video with captions, you can serve it all up as a single video signal - no problem there. If you want to make it work as a separate data stream, the real problem is to provide a setup where the text data stream can be continuously refreshed. Should still be possible, but I am not sure of the techniques - I'll sleep on it. Charles McCN On Tue, 30 Mar 1999, Robert Neff wrote: please correct me if i am wrong and add your comments. As i understand it, you cannot have simultaneous close captioning on a LIVE webcast over the internet as you can on television. basically the technology is not there yet. To get the close captioning you need to take the video after it is over and use something like Adobe premiere to add the close captioning. Is this correct? --Charles McCathieNevile mailto:charles@w3.org phone: +1 617 258 0992 http://www.w3.org/People/Charles W3C Web Accessibility Initiative http://www.w3.org/WAI MIT/LCS - 545 Technology sq., Cambridge MA, 02139, USA
