I tried to read a SCC file and print the content, the content looks repetitive

Could you please let me know the issue.

Hi @anssandeep , sorry for the delay, this is a known issue when mixing roll-up captions with paint-on or pop-on captions. The reader keeps looking for the next roll-up command and each time a command to print the caption to the screen is encountered the most recent roll-up caption is printed in place of the pop-on caption.

Until a fix is available the best thing to do is ensure all captions are of the same format. For pre-recorded content pop-on is usually preferred as it allows precise placement and styling.
