Caption Question

for

Hi Everyone,

I am captioning a video for a webpage. No problem there, because the player
uses WebVTT and it reads the captions from that file.

However, I now have to put this video on a CD. I haven't worked with video
on CD before. I can't use my lovely player and WebVTT file...However, I can
make the captioning file in another format (I have access to SRT,
SBV,DFXP,SMI, QT, RT, STL, SUB, SMPTE-TT and SCC). How is the best way to
do this without having to do things manually? Is there an automated way of
getting the captions into the video?

I have access to Adobe software, and I think I can do this through Media
Encoder but am working on that now...

If anyone has any suggestions/advice/etc, please let me know!

Thanks so much.

Lisa
