I tried posting this over at Doom9 but got no answer. I thought someone here might have a solution:
I have a friend with a specific need to include closed captions in his SVCDs. He has a piece of equipment called the TV Guardian (TVG) that uses the closed caption information to filter for offensive language. The TVG will then mute that part of the movie and display an alternate word in a caption. But is essential that the closed captions are included on the SVCD (as closed captions, not subs - if they are different) to get the filtering to work properly. The TVG works with the original DVD but we're just not sure how to go about getting the captions off the DVD and onto the SVCD.

We are both very new at this and I usually don't mess with subs anyway but I thought I'd ask about this for him. I discovered here ( http://www.dvdrhelp.com/svcd ) that there is a CAPTnn.dat file on SVCDs that contain the closed caption data. Is this the same file that hold the subs? Are subs and CCs the same or different?

Bottom line question is can DVD2SVCD create SVCDs with closed captions? If so, how?

Thanks in advance.
