Scott,
Thanks for the info and I have looked into these options already. It sounds
like I need to explain things a little better. We use a tvguardian to
filter some of the language in our movies. This allows us to watch movies
as a family that we wouldn't normally watch. This only works off the CC/VBI
data. If I can't get this working, my little project appears to be a bust
and the DVD player has to go back in. If nobody has this working on the
350, does anyone have other options that do work?
Greg

Right, I can get that much working also. What I need to be able to do is
pass the VBI data to the TV so that the TV can display the CC. Is
anybody able to do this or has anyone tried?
One of the primary reasons I use MythTV is for DVD/VOB playback with CC to
a DLP projector which has no CC decoder.
Rather than passing the VBI data from the DVD/VOB out for the TV to decode
why don't you have Xine or mplayer decode the CC and display them along
with the video? This works great for me when used with DVDs and for DVDs
that don't have CC I fall back to EN subtitles.
The magic lines in my ~/.xine/config are:
subtitles.closedcaption.center:0
subtitles.closedcaption.enabled:1
subtitles.closedcaption.font_size:16
Or in my ~/.mplayer/config I use:
subcc = on
Remember, not all DVDs have CC. Some clam to have CC on the back of the
box but actually use EN subtitles in place of CC data. If you're unsure
test out your DVD in a standard DVD player with your TV set to CC1 decode
and DVD subtitles off.
