Re: Caption Question

Hi Lisa,
Assuming you're burning this CD as a data disk, you'll want to place
your media and caption files in the same directory, and ensure that they
have the same filename. You can include more than one caption file to
accommodate different players - SRT and SMI files might be a good
choice. When the user opens the media file in their default or preferred
player, and assuming they've enabled caption/subtitle playback in their
player, the captions will show.

Thanks,
Sam
