</p><div><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left:36.0pt">I have recently produced some documentation to support the new pages in the next release of Xerte / XOT.</p></div><div><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left:36.0pt">
</p></div><div><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left:36.0pt">I used Open Office so that </p></div><div><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left:36.0pt">a) I could supply anyone who wanted to translate it with an editable copy</p>
</div><div><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left:36.0pt">b) so that I could output in pdf format</p></div><div><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left:36.0pt"> </p></div><div><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left:36.0pt">
But it occurred to me this morning that it might be useful to use something like camstudio to create some demo videos.</p></div><div><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left:36.0pt">If I left off any sound and used subtitles driven from an external file (are they subtitles or closed caption?) then it would enable translators to create alternative subtitles.</p>
</div><div><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left:36.0pt"> </p></div><div><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left:36.0pt">So I was wondering if any decisions have been made regarding the Xenith project as to what video format would be best to use and if anyone had considered what format of subtitle / close caption file they would want to go with it?</p>
</div><div><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left:36.0pt"> </p></div><div><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left:36.0pt">If I am going to have a go at this it makes sense (to me at least) that any end result should work with whatever results from the Xenith project.</p>
</div><div><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left:36.0pt"> </p></div><div><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left:36.0pt">As a real long shot has anyone identified any free software products e.g. for generating the subtitle files, converting the video format, playing the video / subtitles?</p>
