1. Launch any video from the

Asset Library.

2. Click the

Mark button at any point in the video. This displays a message and creates a

bookmark/playlist in the

and has the following format:

<video_title><date><time>, for example: VBrick Rules_09_14_2007_13_27:59

3. To edit the playlist, go to MyMedia, mouseover the playlist you just created, and click Edit

Playlist

4. You can change the name, folder, duration, etc. using the editing options explained

below.

Viewing Closed Captions

The ETV Portal Server supports closed captions. Captions can be turned on or off for

hearing-impaired individuals. If a video stream (either live or stored) is encoded with captions,

they can be set to on or off; if a video stream is not encoded with captions, captions will not be

displayed regardless of the setting. If set to

ON, captions are displayed for all caption-enabled

streams subsequently launched from the Portal Server, until turned OFF. A video stream must

be encoded with captions in advance. VBrick can add a date/time stamp to a live stream from

a security camera, for example, but it provides no other functionality to encode live or stored

video with closed captions. Note that the Portal Server supports closed captions for MPEG-4 live

and stored content only if the content is recorded with closed captioning and stored on a VOD-W

Note Use the

Mark button to bookmark a stream. This creates a playlist in MyMedia with one

bookmark. To add additional streams, open this bookmark from the

Playlists page.

Press

Mark again only if you want to create another bookmark to the same video file.
