Hi Andrew,

Thanks, that information was very useful. I hadn't explored the separate
file versus embedding yet in Premiere. I also now need to play with
Primetime as well, thanks.

So I guess the next question I would ask is what do the majority of people
do in this case? Open Captions? Closed Captions? Would the FCC/CVAA rules
be the ones to go with?

Cheers

Lisa
