So here's the situation :

1) I live in PAL territory (25fps, 720x576 resolution)
2) I use MCE quite a lot
3) English is not my native language.

What I am now trying to do is burn a DVD of an episode of Panorama (BBC).
I am using VideoReDo for cutting out the padding at the beginning and at the end of the recording.
This works fine.
However, I also want to get the Teletext closed captions in there, and make sure they are shown in a standard DVD player.
How do I go about those ones ?
I understand you can do it by using IFOEDIT and to enable Line 21 for NTSC DVD's, however this is a PAL MPEG, and that option is greyed out there.

So is there a way to convert the closed captions to SRT format (subtitles) for example ?
Or can they be always displayed on a standard DVD player ?:confused:

So far I only found some command line utilities for ripping the Closed Caption stream to either raw format or to *.SRT files.

There is "SCC TOOLS" @
http://www.geocities.com/mcpoodle43/SCC_TOOLS/DOCS/SCC_TOOLS.HTML

And a slightly better command line utility called CCEctractor @
http://sourceforge.net/projects/ccextractor/

I hope that helps some

I had already tried those, but they seem to find nothing in PAL DVR-MS files.
