What’s one thing you wish every video producer or content creator knew about closed captions (or Subtitles for the Deaf and Hard of Hearing)?

#Accessibility #ClosedCaptions #SDH #DeafCulture

See these captions in Weebles: Welcome to Weebleville? They aren't the VOB subtitles on most DVDs. They're line 21 closed captions. You can see them through composite out on post-1993 TVs.

Most Blu-ray Disc players don't show them on HDMI. This is an accessibility failure on player makers' part.

Technology Connections released a 33-minute video titled "Closed captions on DVDs are getting left behind" about BD players' inability to render EIA-608 captions while upscaling.

Still from Weebles episode "Spaghetti Days" (2005). Zuzie Q. and Diddy are having a conversation offscreen, while Demby (blue hippo with no legs wearing red bib overalls) is choosing a meatball to use as a bowling ball. The EIA-608 (line 21) caption has a spelling error: "for Denby and for me"

Still from Weebles episode "The Wednesday Race" (2005). Zuzie Q. (yellow hen with no legs in teal crop top) on a yellow and green scooter and Noomie (orange cat with no legs wearing a light blue dress, purple bottom, and purple hair bow) are arguing in front of a yellow Town Center building over who's the fastest Weeble in all of Weebleville. The EIA-608 (line 21) caption has a spelling error: "Well, I don't care what you say, Noomy."

At first glance it seems obscure, even esoteric, but given some thought it becomes obvious that an easy accessibility win is routinely being ignored.

Hey, @videolan I love you, but you rate 'Could Do Better' in this class. Maybe have a look pls?

Thank you for making me feel old today, @TechConnectify, by telling me that #DVD will turn 30 next year...
But more importantly, thanks for your interesting video about #ClosedCaptions and #subtitles in that format, and how a lot of modern HDMI implementations of it are no longer supporting #line21 CC data: https://youtu.be/OSCOQ6vnLwU

#ClosedCaptions on DVDs are getting left behind

#Subtitles are not the same as Closed Captions.
CCs are transmitted as digital data on the analog video's Line 21.
Composite Video transmits Line 21 but #HDMI doesn't.
Some dvds ONLY have closed captions.
Recent #BluRay and #DVD players only have HDMI output, and don't do anything with the closed caption data that DVDs have.

Many computers (except those that came with Windows 11) can display CCs on DVDs.

Ugh, so annoying when closed captions are positioned on top of open captions...

Which means I'll have to turn off my closed captions to be able to properly read one of them, or change my semi-transparent background to a solid one, and then switch it back again after that video for ones that don't have open captions...

Netflixin tekstityksiin iso uudistus

Moni suomalainenkin katsoo Netflixin englanninkieliset sarjatkin englanniksi tekstitettyinä. Tähän saakka nämä tekstitykset ovat olleet kuulo-ongelmista kärsiville tarkoitettuja ns. closed captions -tekstityksiä. Rinnalle tulee nyt myös "tavalliset" englanninkieliset tekstitykset, joissa ei ole enää kuvailevia tekstejä, kuten "askeleet lähestyvät".

I usually just want to know what people in movies are saying. I'll judge for myself if the music is ominous.

Of course there are people who need this extra bit of description but it should be rather easy to add a subtitle file without those bits.

Time for a new game! I'm going to explore the Austrian Alps in this beautiful adventure/puzzle game. And also probably combat? I don't know, but it looks fantasting.

Screenshot of Dungeons of Hinterberg main menu. Kind of cel-shaded style, borders around everything, and occasional Ben Day dots for extra shading/highlighting.

A woman with red hair to her shoulders looks away from the viewer, at a gondola lift. She's wearing tight-ish black pants, a very puffy teal jacket, and a grey backpack with yellow bedroll and teal sword sheath. She holds a metal sword at her side. Pale green grass, grey rocks, and a few red flowers are littered around the brown path she's standing on.

Just mistyped Mega Man X as "Mega MaX", so that's what it's called now.

Beating Mega MaX today, then probably starting Mega MaX 2!

So I've defeated all of the Robot Masters, and it's time to go up against Sigma. If I can get to him.

Playing more Rift of the NecroDancer. Taking a dive into all the Steam Workshop stuff that people have been making over the past week. It's sure to be a ride.
