Closed captioning in file not showing up on import

Question

I am importing an mxf file that has closed captioning but the caption stream is not showing up in premiere pro. I can see it in VLC. The stream info says "Codec: EIA-608 subtitles (c608), Description:  Closed captions 1, Type: subtitle". The subtitle track can then be turned on in VLC. In Switch under the inspector it shows "Format: CEA-608/708 Closed Captions" so i know the caption streams are in the file but premiere doesn't seem to be decoding them. When I right click on file in the project window and go to modify, captions is grey out. I did turn on "Include captions on import" in the preferences. Any help is greatly appreciated.

Shared a file with one 708 and 608 streams. Caption does not import with 2018.1.2.

No clue. Doing some additional tests.

A 2 stream mxf similar to yours (1 608; 1 708) exported from PR imported with both streams to PR. Oddly, that file in Media Info shows only the 708 stream.

I'd log this as a bug; something is not working as it should for mxf embedded caption import.

This is still an On-Going Issue..... I am using the latest Premiere Pro version 13.1.5 and it still does not decode

EIA-608/708 A/53 / DTVCC Transport

I use Professional Broadcast Playout software and the CC is present there as well as VLC and MediaInfo.

Only the Software that does not recognize the CC is Premiere.
