Since you mention DVD Architect in your subject line, is this a project specifically meant for DVD that you're doing, or do you need closed captioning for a video that will be distributed in other ways?

Generally speaking, DVDs don't have closed captioning; they have subtitles, which DVD Architect can do for you. (Though I have heard rumor of some that do have CC.) Is there a reason you need CC rather than subtitles?

The DVD format supports closed captioning, but as you discovered, the software is quite expensive.

as bStro said, if this is DVD only, you could use the Subtitle feature.

This might be useful:

Closed Captioning

Also:

Closed Captioning

I could give you more. Just use the search feature in this forum.

Also, as I mention in the above thread, DVD and, by inference, MPEG-2 both support line 21 close captioning in addition to the DVD subtitle feature. See, for instance:

Close Captioning

Wow . . . super information, everybody.

Exploring further with the client, I do think that subtitles are going to suffice.

I've been with Vegas sinc V3. Haven't done STs before - didn't know had the ability.

Thanks!
