Since Encore is the only available Blu-ray authoring application on Macintosh (besides Toast), and it comes up short of being able to produce a professional-quality product, we are taking on the task of trying to fill this void.
Hi Joe, I think Brecht explained it perfectly in the first post . The method he describes is used for many Hollywood releases, and does not work in Encore for Blu-ray output, and works for DVD only under your suggested restrictions. One problem is that as soon as you navigate to another menu, you lose the audio and subtitle settings, because the menus can have only one audio track and no subtitles.
I have examined every command in my Encore test projects, there is no GPRM (register) for streams in either DVD or BD. Instead, it immediately executes a setStream command which sets a system register.
It happens to work in DVD if you are lucky, because DVD does not change the system registers when executing a track with only one audio or with no subtitles. This behavior may differ on different players. Unfortunately Blu-ray players always wipe out the system registers. For DVD, Encore uses only a total of 2 of the 16 registers. For Blu-ray, it uses seven of the 4096 registers.
I set up my project with a First Play title menu with a Play button linked to a timeline with three audio and subtitle tracks and Audio/Subtitle button linked to a audio/subtitle selection menu that changes either audio, subtitles, or both.
The audio/subtitle buttons are linked back to themselves, but change only the active audio or subtitle track, returning to the same menu/button selection. There is also a button linked to the title menu.
I can go back to the Audio/Subtitle menu and change the active subtitle and/or audio tracks, go back to the title menu and play the timeline, and my selection carries through. I tested this on two different players.
Closed captions are a textual representation of the audio within a media file. They make video accessible to deaf and hard of hearing by providing a time-to-text track as a supplement to, or as a substitute for, the audio.
While the text within a closed caption file is comprised predominantly of speech, captions also include non-speech elements like speaker IDs and sound effects that are critical to understanding the plot of the video.
Unlike captions, subtitles do not include the non-speech elements of the audio (like sounds or speaker identifications). Subtitles are also not considered an appropriate accommodation for deaf and hard of hearing viewers.
The easiest way to create open captions is to hire a professional captioning company that offers open caption encoding. Open caption encoding can be tricky to do yourself. It can be time-consuming and often requires expensive video software.
Closed caption quality matters because closed captions are meant to be an equivalent alternative to video for individuals with hearing loss. When closed captions are inaccurate, they are inaccessible.
Studies have shown that even a 95% accuracy rate is sometimes insufficient to accurately convey complex material. For a typical sentence length of 8 words, a 95% word accuracy rate means there will be an error, on average, every 2.5 sentences.
Knowing how a captioning vendor measures its accuracy rate is important. For example, with some closed captioning vendors, punctuation errors are subjective; even though an em dash, period, or comma could make all the difference to the meaning of a sentence.
With accuracy, the FCC states that closed captions must match the spoken words in the audio to the fullest extent. This includes preserving any slang or accents in the content and adding non-speech elements. For live captioning, some leniency does apply.
WCAG 2.0 has three levels of compliance: Level A, AA, and AAA. Level A is the easiest to complete, while level AAA is the hardest. Most web accessibility laws require compliance with Level A and/or AA.
Lastly, an integration or an API workflow is a way to automate the process of adding closed captions. Essentially, you are creating a link between your captioning vendor and video player to allow your captioning vendor to automatically post your captions back to the original video file.
Did you know more than 500 million hours of videos are watched on YouTube each day? YouTube is pretty much the king of video content on the internet. In fact, every 60 seconds, 72 hours of video are uploaded to the platform.
Always be careful with YouTube closed captioning and be sure to edit the final closed caption file before publishing. If you upload poor-quality captions, Google will flag your content as spam and penalize you in search results.
Adding technology into the mixture can cut your time by more than half. On average a trained transcriptionist can take four to five hours to transcribe one hour of audio or video content from scratch. For an untrained novice, this can take much longer.
41% of videos are incomprehensible without sound or closed captions. This means that if you are not closed captioning your videos, viewers are most likely scrolling past your videos without playing them.
There are four important steps in a closed captioning workflow: transcribing the video, synchronizing the text, controlling quality, and managing the overall process. All these steps impact the final cost of your closed captions.
The first step in closed captioning is to transcribe the video. This is often the most time-consuming part. A trained transcriptionist will take four to five hours to transcribe one hour of normal audio or video content.
As an untrained transcriptionist, a student or intern can take five hours or more to transcribe a one hour file. If this student is paid $15 per hour, this means it will cost $75 to transcribe a one-hour-long file.
A good quality check should take longer than the duration of the actual file. So for an hour and a half of quality check the total in-house cost of closed captioning rises to $112.50 per hour of content.
While in many cases the price you pay is low, the consequences of using a low-quality file are pricey. For instance, you have to QA the file yourself, which takes up time away from other tasks. There are also additional costs if you resubmit a file, or order a certain closed caption format.
Different vendors have different processes for closed captioning. The process will directly correlate to the price. Although it can be enticing to go for the cheaper option, the quality of the closed captions you get back might not be worth it.
A good closed captioning vendor will have a clear workflow. They will offer different methods to upload videos, they will let you know when closed captions are ready, and they will store your closed caption files for you.
Instead of not closed captioning at all, try prioritizing your popular videos for closed captioning. Caption videos that have the most views, shares, or engagement; caption videos that are in more prominent places, like on your homepage; and caption videos requested by viewers.
Quicker turnaround options can make closed captioning costs add up. Sometimes, you may need a closed caption file within 2-hours or by the next day, but if you can avoid having a rushed turnaround time, you can actually save a ton of money.
Getting buy-in for closed captioning takes work. In a study we conducted on the state of captioning, we uncovered that the true decision-makers for funding closed captioning are often unaware they are required to caption.
Exemptions are applied to organizations where the implementation of these requirements would cause undue hardship. However, organizations are still required to provide an alternative method for communicating the information to individuals with disabilities.
Local government, state government, private colleges, and public colleges note in Title II of the ADA. Title II of the ADA has also been applied to private entities. Under the Title, employee training videos must also comply with the ADA.
Streaming sites like Netflix, Hulu, and Amazon, must caption all content that was previously aired on television. Note: Under the ADA, streaming sites must also caption original content, even if it never appeared on television.
In addition, these institutions must be mindful of other accessibility laws that apply to them. Private and public colleges, state governments, municipalities, and K-12 must also adhere to the Rehabilitation Act and the ADA.
Video content is everything right now, which is why making it accessible should be your top priority. Adding closed captions not only provides greater access to people who are deaf and hard-of-hearing, but it also creates a better user experience for all viewers.
Word frequency is an important variable in cognitive processing. High-frequency words are perceived and produced faster and more efficiently than low-frequency words. At the same time, they are easier to recall but more difficult to recognize in episodic memory tasks.
To investigate the word frequency effect or to match stimuli on word frequency, psychologists need estimates of how often words occur in a language. In American English the Kucera and Francis (KF) frequencies have become the norm. This is surprising because the KF frequencies are dated (from 1967) and based on a corpus of 1.014 million words only. Several studies have confirmed the bad quality of the Kucera and Francis word frequencies (Burgess & Livesay, 1998; Zevin & Seidenberg, 2002; Balota et al., 2004).
To assess the quality of a frequency measure, one needs word processing times. These have become available as part of the Elexicon project ( ). Brysbaert & New (Behavior Research Methods, in press) calculated the percentages of variance accounted for by Kucera and Francis, and Celex in the accuracies and reactions times of a lexical decision task.
For short words, the percentages of variance accounted for are also better than the fit with HAL, Zeno et al., and the word frequencies based on the British National Corpus. In addition, the corpus indicates which words are likely to be used as names (e.g., Mark, Archer, etc.). The frequencies of these words are overestimated, as more variance in RTs is accounted for when the frequencies of these words starting with a lowercase letter are used rather than the total frequencies.
