Blu-Ray players need to support hard encoding Closed Caption CC

[vatkat234]

HDMI can not send out Closed Caption. Closed Caption only works at 480i.


There are a lot of DVD that only have Closed Caption most of them are TV shows. Deaf people want to use their PS3 as a upscaler DVD player. So this is a problem.

Blu-Ray need to embed Closed Caption as well on their disc. I know FOX studios do.

Here are some of the reason why deaf people still like Closed Caption over subtitles.

1. Sounds are left out in subtitles like a dog barking and other things. For some reason they put the full script in closed caption.

2. Closed Caption you can change how they display. Color, size, font and so on.

3.When Blu-Ray recorders come out Deaf people like to record a show when they are not come. The only way they can watch the show after it has been recorded is Closed Caption.

Some DVD players do a hard encoding of Closed Caption. They are encoded on the picture. Most of the DVD players that do this are DVD recorders but there are also stand alone DVD players as well.

A lot of deaf people would like to see a firmware update for the PS3 to support "hard encoding of Closed Caption CC."
