Encode Preferences
With EIA-608 (standard definition captions), you can caption all 4 caption channels in 4
different languages simultaneously as long as there is enough space on the video to
accommodate all 4 languages.
Note: Channel 1 and Channel 2 occupy the same space inside the Field 1. The same is
true for Channel 3 and Channel 4. When you caption two channels in the same field,
there is always fight with the space between CC1 and CC2. CC1 has the first priority.
Whatever space is left, is used by CC2. It is good idea to para-phrase the text and make it
short in both languages when you do CC1 and CC2 caption simultaneously.
