Closed Captioning?

Anybody understand how closed captioning works? Trying to capture some TV for a deaf friend and burn it to DVD, but, of course, you lose the captions when I run it through the capture card.

CC is tucked into line 21 of the NTSC signal. I've never tried capturing it. Looks to be un-simple...

Wouldn't it be easier to add subtitles for him?

Thanks TaranT. Err, yeah, looks like it would be simpler to type in subtitles.

My old ATI All-In-Wonder could save the CC data to a text file.
I don't know if it saved the timestamps, though...

Yeah, my ATi TV Wonder can save closed captions, but you'd have to make timeing yourself.
