I am not sure if I was the only one using the device. Even if it worked perfectly, I personally would rather watch Blu-ray movies with my 65" plasma TV. My TV seems to be better quality than at the theater. I could see some graininess on the screen at the theater and I didn't think the picture...

My company gave us an afternoon off and bought us movie tickets to watch Hunger Games today. This is my first time in about ten years I've watch a movie at the theater. This theater happened to have CaptiView Closed Captioned device. Overall I had pretty good experience with this device. Two...

This thread is getting confusing. It's hard to tell if people are talking about DVD/BD disks or streaming. Are you referring to DVD/BD disks shipped in the mail labeled "RENTAL" or streaming. If you are referring to "RENTAL" disks, are you saying that Netflix burns their own disks (DVD or BD)...

CrazyPaul, You are correct about the DVD specification. CC should work with any DVD or Blu-ray players with composite out to composite in of TV. This is a good suggestion. The only major drawback with this is I believe composite may not support wide screen (16:9) and it will appear as...

rhr, It looks like you need to contact Microsoft about this. In Cyberlink PowerDVD, I believe you can select "reverse" video CC. It may show black background, but I am not sure. I have DVD movies and will try them out tonight. Peter

Well, composite out does not have as good resolution as HDMI. Composite has 480 lines or less. HDMI has 1080 lines. It's not right to force deaf people to downgrade video quality to watch CC. Anway, I found this link and it's not good news for us with Windows 7 Media Center Edition: W7-RC...

He is not talking about Windows Media "Player", he is talking about Windows Media "Center". Peter

OK, I kind of figured that. That's pretty disappointing of Microsoft. I wonder if Microsoft has a plug-in to display traditional CC with solid background to work with DVD movies like they did in Windows Vista and Windows 2005 MCE. I have Cyberlink PowerDVD software that displays CC but the...

No, I have not yet tested with DVD disks. I was hoping the settings I suggested applies to DVD movies as well as TV programs. I will get DVD movies tomorrow and hopefully find a solution. Your sample image look like sub-titles style CC. Peter

Hi rhr, I found out how you can set CC to solid black background win Windows 7 Media Center Edition: 1) Go to "Settings" 2) Click on "TV" 3) Click on "Closed Captioning" 4) Click on "Use My Custom Settings" 5) Scroll down to "Window Opacity" 6) Click on "+" until you see "Solid" 7)...

That's interesting. I wonder if having digital HD tuner in computer will help to include CC with black background for DVD movies. I have HD HomeRun which is an external tuner for Over the Air (OTA) antenna. It has dual tuners built-in and I can record two digital or HD TV programs at the...

Problem is many early DVD movies only came with CC and NO sub-titles. Now insert these DVD movies without sub-titles in Blu-ray players using HDMI cables, you will NOT see CC thanks to the screwed up protocol in HDMI specifications. Now, that's very screwed up for all deaf and hearing-impaired...

Hi rhr, I will borrow several DVD movies from a friend and test them with my Windows 7 Media Center and let you know the outcome either tonight or tomorrow night. Please tell me which movies you are trying to watch with CC so I can test same movies as yours. Also, please tell me how...

My Logitech Harmony remote control can control my PC just as well as any Blu-ray player. It can control Windows Media Center Edition and PowerDVD Blu-ray software. It can do everything what CrazyPaul said for his Blu-ray player. Peter

Well, I can't speak for DVD movies with CC but I watch/record TV programs using Over the Air (OTA) antenna and CC with Windows 7 Media Center works perfectly. It does not show CC in the middle of the screen. It's at lower part of the screen but a little higher than it should be. I am not talking...

Can you clarify? Are you saying that you inserted a DVD movie with CC and Windows 7 Media Center no longer displays CC on your TV? Is your PC connected to the TV using HDMI or DVI cable? If so, you need to enable CC inside Windows 7 Media Center. I do not own any DVD movies so I cannot...

Latest Cyberlink Power DVD Ultra 11 includes mobile that uses Android. I don't know if mobile version supports CC. You can download from: The Android Media Player for PowerDVD I have no idea how it works because I don't have Android based phone or tablet. It looks like this app costs $20...

I have a home-built PC with Windows 7, graphics card with HDMI and Blu-ray drive. It has built-in Media Center Edition (MCE) which I really like. I have no issues watching/recording TV programs (Over the Air antenna only) and CC works well over HDMI cable. I don't use MCE to watch DVD/Blu-ray...

Try this online link: Help Guide Click on "TV" at left side and you will see "Switching Closed Caption". It's not clear whether it will transmit CC over HDMI cable. Peter

Yes, there are lots of F*** words in Kings Speech. I use sub-titles and I am sure they will be shown in CC if available. Peter
