EIA-608/708 to both A/53 and Ancillary

Post by Gluponja22 »

Does FFAStrans support embedding EIA-608/708 in both A/53 and Ancillary data stream?

We have a file with EIA-608/708 in the Ancillary track and would need it in the A/53 DTVCC track as well.

Is that option available?

Hi Gluponja22, thank you for using FFAStrans and welcome to the forum!

Does this thread shed som light? viewtopic.php?t=1593
I'm not too deep into that stuff but maybe @emcodem or @FranceBB can shed some more light on your options.

HI Steinar, this thread talks about the conversion of EIA-608 Closed Caption data into CEA-708. My situation is a bit different. I have both the 608 and 708 captions in the ancillary track, but need the 708 on its own ATSC-compliant A/53 track.

Hi Gluponja22!
Unfortunately we have no tools for parsing/extracting/converting or working with 608/708 ancillary data in any way, same as in the topic that steinar linked.
emcodem, wrapping since 2009 you got the rhyme?
