ISSUE-1 (dynamicFlow): dynamicFlow in DFXP cannot emulate an important feature of EIA-608 captions http://www.w3.org/AudioVideo/TT/tracker/issues/1 Raised by: Geoff Freed On product: One of my concerns about the current dynamicFlow in DFXP is that it cannot emulate an important feature of EIA-608 captions, which is the ability to create and change regions on the fly. Currently, dynamicFlow can feed text into pre-created regions in pre-specified locations. In a real-time-captioning situaton, region locations may not be known ahead of time, and during a broadcast blocks of caption text sometimes have to be moved from, say, the lower-third of the picture to the upper-third to avoid covering important graphics, or sometimes they are just moved up (or down) one or two rows. As far as I know, DFXP does not allow to on-the-fly creation of new regions, does it? If not, then the current dynamicFlow isn't really suited for live captioning or subtitling, and this is something that I'd like to improve, it if is possible within the bounds of the charter.
