      Move MAGpie and Synchrimedia here: they are desktop software programs. Synchrimedia is shareware for 30 days, and after that the license is not cheap.

      Also move overstream.net here: it is an online captioning tool.

  • Upload the video, upload the transcript, and start the timing to synchronize.

      You cannot upload a video to UnivSubs, you stream it from its published online address when you create a page for it. And while you can upload a transcript if you have one, UnivSubs is mainly a tool to make a time-coded transcript that produces the subtitles.

      MAGpie and Synchrimedia should go under Software programs: see note there.

      This should go under "More helpful sites": it is not an online captioning tool
  • More helpful sites to consult for more detailed information:

      These instructions concern adding a transcript to a YT video to have it timecoded into subtitles by the YT automatic synchronization. They do not concern Google Caption Tube. So there is no reason to add them as a kind of footnote to it. They could be added as a separate entry in the "Online" section.
  • Click "My Videos" from the top right navigation widget.
    • Claude Almansi
      Claude Almansi on 12 Jan 12
       
      Do you mean the top-right drop-list? With the new interface, it doesn't include "My Videos" anymore, but either "My Channel" or "Video Manager".
  • Ensure it is set to "Private" until you are finished with the following steps.
    • Claude Almansi
      Claude Almansi on 12 Jan 12
       
      Why? Setting the video as private might upset users who bookmarked it and wonder why they can't see it. The process works perfectly well if the video is set to Public.
  • Click "Captions" or "Captions and Transcripts"
    • Claude Almansi
      Claude Almansi on 12 Jan 12
       
      It's called "Edit captions/subtitles" (and has been since YT introduced closed captioning)
  • something like "from a document" instead of the "with timing" one.
    • Claude Almansi
      Claude Almansi on 12 Jan 12
       
      Rather: "Select the "Transcript file (*beta*) option."
  •  Click

      Before that, add: "Click the link Add New Captions or Transcript"
  • in Word

      Claude Almansi on 12 Jan 12
       
      It's Word that adds a lot of rubbish code to transcripts. Better use a simple text editor like Notepad or a decent word processor like OpenOffice Write, save as .txt and then change the extension to .sbv

      There are many other apps, browser based, that work with all computer systems. E.g. Download Helper (Firefox addon), RealPlayer....

      This is only very incidentally about captioning DVDs: it's mainly about downloading videos from the Web (just OKish copyrightwise for personal use for the time being, won't be if SOPA passes, unless the video copyright is yours), sharing it with a transcription service (NOT OK copyrightwise if the video is not yours) then republishing the video online (again, NOT OK copyrightwise if the video is not yours).
  • They also have another app that copies a DVD's video and / or audio
    • Claude Almansi
      Claude Almansi on 12 Jan 12
       
      See http://www.youtube.com/copyright_school : a video or audio file ripped from a DVD should not be shared with others (transcribing agency e.g.) and above all not be published online.

      It would be more logical to have this at the very end of the page.
