Hi, Mark. We've been using Divace and its successor, Media Assistant, for
almost a decade. They have been simple and straightforward both for captioning
and subtitling. I especially like being able to change the font on the fly for
use in class and to insert and synchronize questions easily for one of the lab
versions. Then I know that most students have actually seen the video
assignment, since that's the only place the questions appear.

Mark,
MAGpie was recommended to me long ago, and can be downloaded from
http://ncam.wgbh.org/webaccess/magpie/
I believe its original purpose through NCAM (National Center for
Accessible Media) was to help the hearing impaired. I am still on
their very active listserv (subscribe at
http://ncam.wgbh.org/webaccess/magpie/magpie2_list.html) and have
noticed that users are very quick at answering each other's questions
including those of beginners.

I just received a recommendation for Slick Caption, as a
subtitling/captioning software option.
<http://www.geethree.com/slickcaption/index.html>
It reads/imports a .dv file, and generates a new one after captioning.
Captions can be imported from a text file or created in the program.
It looks to offer a fair amount of control over text formatting. I've
written the company to get more details than are offered on the web
site. It costs $50, and runs on Mac OS X or OS 9.

There's a free tool created by Brian Deith of the UW-Madison School of
Journalism called World Caption that you might want to look at. It
requires Mac OS X version 10.4 or later. Here's the URL:

Dear Mark,
I haven't had a chance to work with this extensively, but this looks like a
good, free program:
Subtitle Workshop

If you try it, please let me know what your experience is. I tried it for a
short clip and thought it worked fine. I haven't gotten around to doing
anything else with it.
