ltmmConvertCtrl.SetClosedCaptioningTargetFile Method

Filename

A character string containing the name of the file to which to save the closed captioning information.

Flags

Value that represents the desired save options. For a list of possible values, refer to ltmmClosedCaptioning_Flag Constants.

Remarks

Sets the filename and options for saving Closed Captioning data to either SRT or TEXT format.

Use this function to save the decoded closed captioning data coming from a LEAD MPEG2 decoder. Closed Captioning data can be embedded inside an MPEG2 Video Elementary stream.

The Convert object can decode such data and write it to a file. Files can be saved to two different formats:SubRip (SRT)  and text.

SRT files contain the subtitles along with the timing information that specifies when to display each subtitle. By default IltmmConvert.SetClosedCaptioningTargetFile saves to the SRT format. To set it to use the default, set the Flags to zero or ltmmClosedCaptioning_Default. Find more information about the SubRip format by searching for "SubRip" on the internet.

Closed captioning data can also be saved as text. To save the closed captioning information as a text file, set Flags to  ltmmClosedCaptioning_Text.
