Subtitle information (I presume you meant subtitling when you wrote 
teletext) is kept in the recorded file itself, it is just another 
timerelated frame like the audio and video.

I have European teletext subtitling working at the moment, still some 
cleaning up to do and preparing for US CC support. New frametypes in 
recorded files are TT (Text-Teletext) and TC (Text-Closed acaption). Text 
is displayed with font you want, on the screen locations and in the color 
dictated by the teletext page, but without the black backgroundbox.

Will take few or more days untill I have all small issues ironed out and 
submitted the patch to Isaac.
