VB.NET: Getting Closed Captioning from the Media Player.

35 New Member
Hi All,

I am trying to get the Closed Captioning (if available) from the Windows media player and display it in my little dialog box. Can some one give me an example or point me to any documentation/paper/article that shows how can I get the Close Captioning from windows media player?

Thanks in advance for any help.

Hello all! I'm trying (read: becoming frustrated) to write a DVD viewer in VB.NET. I can embed the DVD picture using DirectX technology, but it seems to be impossible to obtain closed captioning from the DVD and convert it to a string. There were a few tips on getting the captioning in the MSDN, I know, but they were rather cryptic (unusual) and didn't convert the captioning to a string. If there is anyone who can help me, or even just...

Hello, I have made a web site that streams music using mms. The service works great but I have noticed that when the song or song location has an apostaphie in it the server (or something) cuts everything off after the apostaphie and causes the song not to stream. i.e.: mms:\My Music\Greatest Songs\She's Mine.wma is read as mms:\My Music\Greatest Songs\She

Hi all, I have a question about windows media encoder (WME) closed captioning. Does WME maintains the Line-21 closed captioning? In other words, does windows media encoder pulls closed captioning from line-21 off of the video feed and automatically builds the closed captioning into the Archive file? Thanks very much in advance for your help and time. Best regards, Jerry
