support to ayone wanting to have go at it, but I’m a bit busy to take it on
myself at the minute. Presumably if you could play FLVs and give them captions
etc, you woulnd’t need the JW player? Just build a similar solution in Xerte?
There would be little point in recreating the JW player, if that’s all that’s
required, but if you wanted to integrate more sophisticated FLV support with
alll the other features of Xerte then it might be worth it.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

font-family:"Arial","sans-serif";color:blue'>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.</span><o:p></o:p></p>
