Additional information

I could not extract Korean subtitle from these kind of cable TV programs although my TV can display subtitles properly.
I've also read #713 and #805 issues and also check the file with mediainfo(it contains PAT/PMT info) Could you check the recorded file?

Thanks,

From a Quick run in debug mode CCExtractor reports unrecognized user data on all caption blocks i've seen so far:

00000000 | 64 08 84 08 02 0E 02 1B 02 12 FF FF FF FF FF FF  | d ?       ??????
00000016 | FF FF FF FF FF FF                                | ??????     

Feel free to dig more :)

@MatejMecka Thanks for your replay.

VLC could not display it.
Altough Mediainfo says there's no data on EIA-708, ffprobe could detect eia_608 (Stream #0:1: Subtitle: eia_608) on it.

According to eia/cea-608-b, Korean Data channel 1 and 2 is a bit different. Please check 'Table 4 Special Assignments' at page 17 below.

@unicode45 Do you happen to have the file still around? If yes, can you share it?
