From the developer:
MAGpie (Media Access Generator) is the original free caption- and audio-description authoring tool for making multimedia accessible to persons with sensory disabilities.
MAGpie contains an export selection for the TTXT format, which can be used to add closed captions to movies playable on BlackBerry smartphones and an export selection to automatically combine (or mux) TTXT caption files with MP4 or 3GP source files.
You may want to check out more software, such as CDMaster32, DVD to iPod Converter or Dvd95Copy, which might be similar to MAGPIE.
