Yeah, Matt Revell wants some good quality Launchpad Screencasts done at
some point.

Well, the good news is both Google video and the jw flash player we use
both support subtitles!

What I wonder though is how you deal with multiple languages. I guess
with the JW flash player we can have a separate link on the site which
refers to a different srt file (foo_en.srt, foo_fr.srt and so on), but
not sure how Google will do it. Google are low priority for me though.
#1 is getting captioning working in the downloadable videos as a file
people can download, #2 is getting it working on the on-site flash
videos. #3 is getting captioning translated. 

#1 is easy, we just make a file available for download. 
#2 is also not too painful
#3 we need to probably put a call out on the website to ask people to
translate the files for us.

Will do.
