I am using MSWebDVD control under VB6. This control has very nice API of which I am using very basic things (Play, Pause, Status, FF, Rewind and so on + Get TimeCode). From this control I am able to receive the TimeCode information of the DVD in the standard format “HH:MM:SS:FF??.
The project should provide a tool to get the Closed Caption Text! information, if possible with the TimeCode, while the PC DVD is playing. I.e “00:01:22:11 How are you today??.
Since MSWebDVD control is using Direct Show, if the tool provided will be generic, will not control the DVD but rather intercept the Closed-Caption information from the Direct Show graph and will provide the TimeCode and Closed Caption only, or just Closed caption events and Text as soon as they are provided, generating some kind of an Events to a VB6 code environment it is also fine. (Note Time code may not be available in standard TV programming, so in that case provide just the Closed Caption ie “--:--:--:-- I am ok and you??)
An even better success will be if the same (or not same) code/OCX will also work and provide Closed Caption information when a TV card (TV Wonder VE, from ATI) is showing a TV program, or a video coming from an external DVD.
I am open to other ideas, if solution is available somewhere.
Thanks
