I commonly use videos with .srt subtitles. Recently, somebody gave me a dvd player wich only accepts closed caption subtitles, so I can't play those videos.

Is there a way to convert .srt subtitles to closed captions subtitles? Is there any software to do this task?

There's a difference between regular ol' subtitles and Closed Captioning. Producing true closed captioning is extremely difficult.

The only software I've stumbled across that does closed captioning and doesn't cost a small fortune is QuickTime Pro.

MovieCaptioner can import SRT files and export SCC closed captions that are embedded into a QT movie. Requires QT Pro and the free ClosedCaptionImporter.compent plugin for QT from Apple.

Link only answers are frowned upon. Can you add more detail? – soandos Feb 13 at 14:15
