[Web4lib] Video captioning software

[Breakall, Scott]

Vishwam,

A month ago when Star Wars: Revelations, a fan-created Star Wars film
(http://www.panicstruckpro.com/revelations/revelations_movie.html), was
released online, someone asked for a subtitled version in the discussion
on Slashdot and mentioned Subtitle Workshop
(http://www.urusoft.net/products.php?cat=sw&lang=1), a freeware subtitle
editing tool.  From the blurb on their website:

"It supports all the subtitle formats you need and has all the features
you would want from a subtitle editing program. Subtitle Workshop makes
subtitle creating/editing/converting tasks almost a pleasure, the
amicable and intuitive interface mixes easy to access menus & must have
features with advanced functions and a remarkable speed and stability,
drastically reducing subtitle editing time. It includes spell check
function and an advanced video preview feature which will ease the task
even more."


VideoHelp.com also has a nice list of similar tools, mostly freeware:

http://del.icio.us/tag/subtitle)

VideoHelp also has several guides on how to add subtitles to video.

Hello web4lib members,

I have some video files, and would like to add captions in them, because

adding captions would make videos more accessible. I have played with 
MagPie software without luck. Does anyone have some tips to do this? 
Responses would be appreciated.
