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

      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.

      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.

      Rather: "Select the "Transcript file (*beta*) option."

      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

      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.

    "Open captioning is visible to all and cannot be turned off. Closed is when you or someone else must find the control and turns it on, be it for videos online, movies/cinema, theater, other media.. Problems with closed captions (compared to open captioning For all) include the following: a. It's often very difficult to find how to turn on the cc - systems vary so much online. b. Millions do not know it's there at all. c. We have a huge issue of communication access for all across the country (and globally). We suggest continuing education and advocacy for inclusion of much more captioning universally (e.g. on all videos online). d. An argument for closed captioning reminds us of the folks who complain loudly (we are told) in the cinema when captioning is showing - we say, get used to it. Focus on the communication that works for you - speech, text, whatever. e. Use the language you need and prefer; it's nice to have a choice, so many do not have any choice - they have no cc at all for much online. --"

    Re a and b: on YouTube, closed captioning autostarts with the video. In platforms for making closed captions and subtitles - DotSUB, UniversalSubtitles, Overstream - the player very clearly announces the closed captions / subtitles in other languages. Re e.: isn't there even less open captioning online. And from a volunteer captioner's view point, it's way easier to produce closed captioning than open captioning (Claude)
