Many thanks! Actually, they contacted me regarding their new website so we worked together in past weeks since we both have same desires about captions in general. :-D
Did you see the article about the new format of youtube videos? Any person that makes a talking video automatically has a closed caption video now. A deaf guy made it. No more problems lipreading!
Yep, read about it however since it is fairly "new" so there are going to be a lot of flaws for years to come, though. They stated if they knew it works great, they couldn't have had typists to do CC for movies/shows by now. :-D
I am looking forward to it for sure but we all gotta expect to see flaws especially with different accents, etc.
I guess that's how all new techs r like every time they come out, right? LOL
awesome dude. Thanks for sharing that as I am tired of seeing videos on herre that says it has subtitles or CC but yet there aren't any at all. Maybe they did have them in there before but they removed them and the people forgot to change the title of the video and change the tags that say CC or subtitles? But either way thanks again
I totally agree though. It is really hard to find videos that has CC or even OC "open captions" It makes me just mad though i even sent several emails to Youtube as a complain about adding CC feature in here. But you can get CC but most of the videos it says "captions not available" which is like urgh! Sigh, anyways....that's pretty much it..i feel good now that i let it all out lmao thanks Geo
Staraction is correct, open caption means you can't turn it on or off like old videos of mine.
But now with closed captions I provide with youtube feature, you can turn it off or on whatever you like. I personally prefer closed captions over open captions.
Oh ya, I always have my CC on but the whole point is I like to have options open for everyone to turn it on or off which is why I use that feature rather than open captions.
Like you said unless it is a baseball game, you'd like it to be off, you can turn it off with CC but OC, you are basically stuck with it being on. LOL
Thanks!! you are the man!! I have learned a great deal from you!! please stay alive and keep it up!! how did you know about 22 frames???

Hey smokingmonkey,
Got that right! One time, there was a title that says (CC) but no captions so I emailed that user asking perhaps he/she forgot or something.
I got a reply back stating that CC means something else. I was like... okay?

Why do you prefer cc over oc? Don't you always want them on? I do unless it is a baseball game and I need an unobstructed view of play.

True, another part of your view for equality, that everyone has their right. Good point, Geo.
