Not as far as I know. And we don't want the normal teletext part anyway, because it's not related to the program. What makes things worse is that teletext streams come in several varieties, and each of them may include different substreams. In order to find the interesting parts, we have to analyze all the data. And that's still not the whole picture. There are also the so-called DVB subtitles (yet another stream format), and subtitles may also be hidden inside one of the other streams, as private/ancillary data. As far as I know, that's usually clear text that has to be rendered by the decoder, while DVB and teletext subtitles come pre-rendered (in incompatible formats, of course). For further reading, I suggest the ETSI documents EN300472 (DVB teletext) and EN300743 (DVB subtitles), available from www.etsi.org. Caveat: you might be even more confused after reading them. Of course you also need to consider the required output format for DVD. I haven't found any complete description yet, so anybody implementing subtitles may have to use a trial-and-error approach (and will have a lot of troub^H^H^H^H^Hfun). -- Michael "Tired" Riepe <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> X-Tired: Each morning I get up I die a little ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Splunk Inc.
