Hello, I had recently been trying to setup my PC as VRC, to record tv shows and later play them. Now The catch is that I want to be able to see captions as well. I found VCR-HOWTO and I was able to steup quite nice system but it seems that the aviplay expects captions to be recorded in some separate file, and does not extract them from 22 (?) screen line. (granted the resolution of the recording was not best one .. ) on the other hand most caption decoders expect to read /dev/vbi device and thus is not suitable for extracting this info form a file. This is what I figured out so far. Does anyone know more? Is there already working sytem to record some tv program and play it back with captions? If not what would be right way to do it? Hack captions program to read off file, or perhaps while recording save captions to separate file with appropriate time stamps? and for that matter what's recommented setup to record tv shows and then play them back with decent quality of video, audio and captions.
