Re: [Feature Request] Preserve CEA-608 Closed Captions in MPEG-2 video streams

I actually started making my own conversion tool, or rather a modification of CCASDI, the first SCC -> SRT conversion tool (written by the guy who made the CCD format). So far I've had decent luck getting it to convert properly formatted SCC to SSA/ASS with positioning... emphasis on "properly ...

Re: [Feature Request] Preserve CEA-608 Closed Captions in MPEG-2 video streams

I know this isn't quite what you want to read, but I use ccextractor separately to rip to raw/bin from the DVD and then use the ccextractor spupng output option to get graphic subtitles with correct screen positioning.

[Feature Request] Preserve CEA-608 Closed Captions in MPEG-2 video streams

Currently MakeMKV does a fantastic job of perfectly preserving 99% of video content from DVDs with one notable exception: CEA-608 Closed Captions embedded in the MPEG-2 video stream itself. MakeMKV does use CCExtractor to convert such captions to SRT subtitles, but this conversion is not lossless; s...
