Closed Captioning for ATI Theater550 ?

[bearkong]

I am currently using a powercolor theater 550 card. GBPVR works fine with it.

I noticed that the documentation of the theater 550 has 'closed captioning support' listed. But It seems GB-PVR does not support CC for 550. I am wondering whether the missing CC functionality for 550 is because of the lack of documentation of the card, or because it is mission impossible for the card.

PS. For many channels, the programs have a flash line on top of the video. It is same when recoding using other software (cyberlink) too. But for live TV, It seems that cyberlink uses some tricks to make it invisible (by not showing the top line?). Remove the line when recording may be impossible, but is it possible to include such a small trick in GBPVR to hide the line when playing the video/liveTV? Sometimes the line is annoying.

Another small question, when using GBPVR for recording with best quality, It is about 2.7G per hour program. But when using Cyberlink PowerCinema, it is ~3.7G per hour program for best quality, is there any difference?

Thanks

I thinks its just because the author of GB-PVR lives in New Zealand where they dont use CC, so he has no way to develop support for this.

The application does support teletext subtitles which are used in that europe/australia/new zeland. These are kind of the same thing as CC over here.

Another small question, when using GBPVR for recording with best quality, It is about 2.7G per hour program. But when using Cyberlink PowerCinema, it is ~3.7G per hour program for best quality, is there any difference?

The difference will be the bitrate used for best quality in both the apps. If you increase the bitrate in GB-PVR you'll get the same size file.
