The 708 decoder has been a work in progress for a long time,
but it's never been finished simply because there's no
pressure (all broadcasts come with 608 captions). Anyway it's
something that we want to complete sooner than later, so each
new CCExtractor release will at least take care of a couple
of items in this to-do list.
The people at narlak.com were nice enough to generate a test
708 stream for CCExtractor, which helped quite a bit with the
initial stuff.
Current status is that a (poor) .srt file can already be
generated, so should a broadcast with 708-only captions appear
a transcript would be available.
To do:
- Timing: For each .srt line, it's off by a second or so.
- Colors: Currently unsupported.
- Pen sizes (useless in .srt of course, but the decoder should
handle them internally).
- Roll up captions.
- SAMI output.
- Move everything to a 16 bit character set, to support
non-Latin character sets.
- Someone (from Korea, I think), reported that they have
708-only captions over there, in Korean. While I don't speak
Korean I'll be happy to work on it a bit and see if I can make
CCExtractor fully support Asian languages. I do need samples
though. No samples, no support.
- A few commands are not yet supported, specifically those related
to delay.
