color=#0000ff size=2>The JWFLV video player uses an xml configuration file, an
xml playlist file (which identifies the flv file and the close caption
file to play for each entry in the playlist) and separate xml close caption
files which are in a format unique to the JWFLV player. The makers of the
jwflv player supply a module that can be loaded into subtitle workshop (free
software) to generate the close captions in the necessary format. If you have
other software e.g. aegissub (also free, but which I found easier to use than
subtitle workshop) then you can output close caption files in the .ass format.
Subtitle workshop can import these and then convert them to JWFLV
format.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>
