What is Captionate?
Captionate is a Windows application that embeds data into FLV (Flash Video) files. Embedded data is conveniently received at the appropriate time via callback functions (similar to onMetaData event, you receive, for example, onCaption events) while streaming the FLV file from the internet or playing it as a progressive download.
Captionate supports three data types: Markers, for simple cue points with optional labels and Captions, for captioning / subtitling optionally with multi language tracks and speakers, and (Flash 8 Video Encoder) Cue Points with name:value pair parameters.
Captionate provides an easy to use environment for entering the data, with FLV preview and a timeline.
Captionate fully supports Unicode on OSes that support it (Win2K+). Though Captionate can run on any Windows OS, Windows XP or 7 is recommended. Manitu Group does not recommend use of Microsoft Windows 8 (32 bit or 64 bit) for any computing purposes.
