- Question - What's the source on the English-language subtitles/captions? May have licensing implications. — Chris Woodrich (talk) 22:13, 20 August 2024 (UTC)
- They're from File:Man With A Movie Camera (Dziga Vertov, 1929).webm, but retimed for this video. The film doesn't really have intertitles, so the closed captions are limited to like 4 sentences from the opening titles and a few short phrases that appear on signs. hinnk (talk) 22:35, 20 August 2024 (UTC)
- You mean File:Man With A Movie Camera (Dziga Vertov, 1929).ogv? I noticed that there is a dearth of text, but the explanation of the film's conceit at 1:00 is long enough that new copyright could have been attracted for the translation. The Internet Archive does not give a source for their digitization (the source of the .ogv), and so I can't see where the closed captions come from.

- That being said, I'm leaning toward the view that the one screen of text is de minimis in an hour long film... Support, with that note. — Chris Woodrich (talk) 23:09, 20 August 2024 (UTC)
- No, not that one. In the TimedText page creation you can see it was copied from the timed text for File:Man With A Movie Camera (Dziga Vertov, 1929).webm.en.srt. I just noticed that one has the original Russian as well, so I've done some fixes and rewording based on machine translation. hinnk (talk) 00:32, 21 August 2024 (UTC)
