Acid DVD offers an innovative new feature providing professional closed captioning and subtitles for video and audio files. We specialize in creating closed captions for MPEG, AVI, MP3, ASF, WAV and MP2 files. Thus, you can send your corporate presentations, teaching videos, archived video footage in any file or video format to Acid DVD. It does not matter what format your video is in, Acid DVD has the capability to convert it, burn it and send it.

Acid DVD creates captions with accurate frame-by-frame positioning in up to 6 languages at a time.
Our services are target marketing the closed captioning of video and audio intended for the WEB, Government Intranets, multimedia and CDR presentations.

Many of our clients have used us to comply with government regulations. Section 508 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1998 requires that US federal agencies modify their electronic and information technologies to make accessible to persons with disabilities.

What is the difference between open and closed captions?

Both methods appear as white letters in a black box. Closed captions are invisible unless your caption decoder is turned on. Open captions are “burned-in," becoming a permanent part of the video.

What is “normal turnaround?”

A 30 minute spot can be completed in 1.5 days. For 480 plus minutes of video, we need about three days. If the video is easy to caption, it may be finished sooner. We can rush a video for an additional fee.

Can you describe the caption process?

We type or transcribe the audio portion of your video.
Captions are then carefully scheduled and positioned.
You receive approval materials and give us feedback.
Captions are encoded into a file, creating a SAMI (.smi or .sami).
