Methods and apparatus for processing and displaying caption information associated with a video program are provided. The caption information is extracted from a video signal and different captions are rendered in sequence for different segments of the video program.

In this manner, a viewer is able to have a prolonged period of time to read captions and can readily distinguish the current caption from the previous caption.
