can anyone tell me if this DVD player supports closed captioning for DVD's?

Not unless you use the RCA hook-up (red, yellow, white). Use of the HDMI cable somehow prevents the closed captioning from showing on screen, even if your television has this capability. CNET has some questions/answers about this.

If your dvd player ( most likely from 2008 and on) is a newer one it should be able to play those formats. If it is an older model you will have to encode (change it a readable format) your content. Blu-ray players should handle those extensions just fine without any encoding. This program I do not believe will do any type of encoding or file conversion. You will have to get another Nero program or some other program that will. So, burning your files, not a problem. If you dvd player accepts those extensions is another matter.

Roku XD Streaming Player 1080p So far Netflix has not supplied closed captioning in the regular video streaming and it is almost 2011. Someone needs to see whether the ADA finds this a worthy topic since the hard-of-hearing are hearing-disabled. Are there no legal teeth to use on Netflix and Roku? For the moment, they should both post disclaimers on their current sites that streaming content is currently done without closed captioning. The potential ecomonic loss ought to be apparent to both the people making the streaming Roku players and the content providers, such as Netflix and nudge them in the direction of providing closed captioning.

This is not a feature (or lack thereof) of the player. It is authored into the disks. Rather, it is NOT authored into HD-DVD's, though I have read that some new releases of Universal and Studio Canal have it. Use the bookmark feature; it's just like resume. If you doubt it, pop a standard dvd into your HD-DVD player and try it with that. You'll see it works just like it did on your old player.For the person that found the opposite thing in Blu-Ray, that's news to me. I think if you Google it you'll find it doesn't work for anyone else. Though as before, there may be some disks that have it. This is not a feature (or lack thereof) of the player.

Yes this TV features closed captioning. If you have any more questions feel free to ask.

I am having the same problem. It's saying something about playback might not be a feature on the DVD. Is there anything we can do to fix it?

Yes it can. If the TV is set in "Video mode" and CC is turned on, it will display closed captioning. If you are using HDMI mode, the DVR has closed captioned settings that will display closed captioning independent of the TV's settings.

The BDP-95 will not display captioning or subtitle on Netflix. I'm hoping a future firmware/software upgrade will change this.

Roku box is capable of handing close captions. Netflix should start streaming captions on some of their library sometime in 2010. I checked this issue out with both Roku and Netflix when I got the box.

closed captioning is not available at this time. Foreign language movies have English subtitles. (No way to choose audio track or subtitle language). Most foreign content is in the original language (I haven't come across one yet that is a dubbed version).

As long as the original program has close caption you shouldn't be concerned. I tested the feature on a recorded program and the spoken text did show on the screen after turning this feature on by pressing the "CC/CS" button on the remote to the appropriate setting. The text can take up quite a bit of room on the screen (if a lot is being said) but it's there.

I don't know. I only pull this player out on occasion to play a PAL disc. Bypassing FBI warnings and such seems to be a function of how the DVD was programmed and not so much the abilities of the player itself.

Turn the DVD player on with no disk in the player. Hold the stop button down until the picture returns. This is not in the documenttation. I set it on PAL and then I couldn't get it back to NTSC. The above procedure worked for me.

I don't know. I have only used Region 1. I believe the software handles this, like regular DVD's.

I don't know because the one I got won't accept DVDs. Although the reading lights are visible when I try to insert the DVD the unit does not grab the DVD and pull it in to the unit no matter how far I try to push it in manually. Also the cable jack is loose and therefore the reception is garbled. I have requested return authorization and when I get a reply to that I'll add additional information.

Thanks for the reply on the closed caption problem. I tried it but still with no success. I turned off the box with the TV on and could not access the menu that way. I'm not sure how this could be possible with the cable box off. Do yo have the link for that topic in the AVS forum.Thanks again

Sorry, I can't answer this question for sure. I didn't even know Netflix did closed captioning on steaming systems.
