Closed captioned XML file.


An example .xml file to be used with the Flowplayer closed captioning feature. Once created in a text editor program it will need to be saved as a ".xml" file extension.

"<p begin" relates to the time on the video that the line of text begins in hr:min:sec.ms
"dur" is the duration that the text should appear on the screen.
If you add the "dur" to the "<p begin" then it should always be less than the "<p begin" on the next line.

'Dr. Rose-Madison Forever

<p begin = "00:00:00.50" dur="04.30">Did we blaze a trail for the next generation</p>
<p begin = "00:00:04.95" dur="03.50">so that it would be easier for them to progress?</p>
<p begin = "00:00:08.50" dur="09.15">Or did we create obstacles, build some barriers, that impede that success?</p>
<p begin = "00:00:17.80" dur="05.25">Yes, we're responsible for some wonderful innovations and some great new technologies,</p>
<p begin = "00:00:23.20" dur="04.75">....but we've also left debt, ethical shortcomings,</p>
<p begin = "00:00:28.10" dur="05.45">environmental embarrassments, trade imbalances, poverty, and war,</p>
<p begin = "00:00:33.70" dur="03.05">and if you look at what's going on in the world right now,</p>
<p begin = "00:00:36.90" dur="05.85">you have to recognize that we still cannot get along with one another.</p>
<p begin = "00:00:42.90" dur="04.95">You cannot ask young people to take on all of these challenges,</p>
<p begin = "00:00:48.00" dur="02.95">to solve all of these problems,</p>
<p begin = "00:00:51.10" dur="05.75">unless they are armed with the most powerful tool they can acquire,</p>
<p begin = "00:00:57.00" dur="04.95">and that's an education.... And I'm not talking about free,</p>
<p begin = "00:01:02.10" dur="04.75">we all know that if we work for something, it means more to us.</p>
<p begin = "00:01:07.00" dur="04.95">There's just no question about that. But I am talking about help.</p>
<p begin = "00:01:12.10" dur="04.75">You know in the face of declining federal and state support</p>
<p begin = "00:01:17.00" dur="04.75">and the resulting higher tuitions that students and their families face,</p>
<p begin = "00:01:21.90" dur="03.95">they especially need our help.... I know these students,</p>
<p begin = "00:01:26.00" dur="04.15">I live here with them, I work with them, I experience them.</p>
<p begin = "00:01:30.30" dur="04.05">They have a strong sense of obligation to serve.</p>
<p begin = "00:01:34.50" dur="02.95">They are people who want to lead a distinguished life,</p>
<p begin = "00:01:37.60" dur="03.35">a life in which they make a difference.</p>
<p begin = "00:01:41.10" dur="03.45">They are resourceful, and they are energetic,</p>
<p begin = "00:01:44.70" dur="03.30">but they need the tools to succeed.</p>
