Update, I forgot mention in the patch itself that you need to patch cc program itself. Updated program iself is at : http://www.eax.com/other/run-captions The patches against 'cc' and 'xawtv-remote' are at: http://www.eax.com/patches/xawtv.remote.diff http://www.eax.com/patches/xawtv.cc.diff After you apply the patch and change font for xawtv.vtx.label.font resource the captioning in xawtv is quite work and I have used it to watch several movies, and it is neat. Some ideas for future are : squze screen horizonatally by 20 lines or so and put captions at this bottom blank area of screen. In this way it does not shadow anything on screen. [got it to work] same as above but captions scroll from right to left instead of just pop up on screen. [no idea right now how to do scrolling, or what would be best way to make it scroll at same speed] captions scroll from bottom to up. Work it that old captions appears at line above (or below) and new captions shows at line below (or above). However it is fairly confusing. display captions as is, but make it on semi-transparent background instead of current black one so that it does not shadow off everything. make font size dynamic dependent on size of screen. -- Adam http://www.eax.com The Supreme Headquarters of the 32 bit registers
