Close Caption on Mp4 Files (Captivate)

Hello, does anyone know if Adobe 9 allows close captions on mp4 files without having to insert the caption in the project?

This would be a huge selling feature for us as we need to be AODA compliant.

The Closed Captions are part of the SKIN.  This does not get published with the video output. 

If you want something akin to Closed Captioning in video output you would need to manually add text into captions or shapes that are synched to appear on the timeline with the audio.

This was my fear. Has this issue been submitted as a feature request, do you know?

No. I'm not Adobe, so I have no idea whether others have submitted this as a feature request.

Feel free to do so yourself.
