(1) from [log in to unmask] 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. Regards, Joel Goldfield Fairfield University +++++++++ (2) from [log in to unmask] 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. Francoise +++++++++ (3) from Derek Roff <[log in to unmask]> 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.

It requires Mac OS X version 10.4 or later.

I tried it for a short clip and thought it worked fine. I haven't gotten around to doing anything else with it.
