The most typical method to caption Windows Media content is to use an external caption file known as a SAMI file (.smi). These files are picked up by Windows Media Player at play time and allow the player to display captions. The viewer can turn the captions on or off using menu controls in the player. This tutorial shows you how to use SAMI files to caption Windows Media content.
