All,
I am delivering video on CD in WMV format and I need closed captions. I had a vendor create the .smi file with the text, and it works great when I look at it from his server. When I try to play it from my harddrive, however, WMP doesn't seem to notice that there are captions at all, and doesn't give the option to display them.
I have renamed both files, trying launching WMP from a link with an explicit reference to the smi file ("test.wmv?sami=test.smi"), I've tried launching it with an explicit reference from an .asx file, and nothing is working.
Does anyone have any experience with using .smi files? Is so, do you have any input?
Thanks in advance.
