[FFmpeg-devel] [PATCH v4] avformat/rcwtdec: add RCWT Closed Captions demuxer

Marth64 marth64 at proxyid.net
Sun Mar 17 06:29:41 EET 2024


Raw Captions With Time (RCWT) is a format native to ccextractor, a commonly
used open source tool for processing 608/708 Closed Captions (CC) sources.
RCWT can be used to archive the original CC bitstream. The muxer was added
in January 2024. In this commit, add the demuxer.

One can now demux RCWT files for rendering in ccaption_dec or interoperate
with ccextractor (which produces RCWT). Using the muxer/demuxer combination,
the CC bits can be kept for further processing or rendering with either tool.
This can be an effective approach to backup original CC presentations.

Prior to this, the next best solution was FFmpeg's SCC muxer, but SCC itself
is not compatible with ccextractor (which is a de facto OSS CC processing tool)
and it is a proprietary format.

Tests will follow.
