it happen, it would definitely be a good thing.



It may also be useful to see how it fits into or what needs to be added to the 
HTML5 spec/SMIL.



My contributions to the drafting of the HTML5 spec, particuarly in the video 
area are logged here:

Captions synchronized to the actions and dialogue. That is, tell the
story in words as it happens including the dialogue, if any.

Re: [WSG] Making Video Accessible

I would say sub titles for sure.
I found 2 players that are excellent for this, the open source player by
http://www.jeroenwijering.com
using SWFObject embed
and javascript php player
http://www.rich-media-project.com/

There's probably others I am sure but these are excellent/ easy to add 
subtitles-captions
For plugins that may be a different matter as one is limited to the plugin 
then, which is why I seldom use them.

Hello. I recently found a video embedder plugin that works well with
WordPress and validates perfectly with a strict doctype. But I realize
validation does not equal accessibility, so what exactly needs to be done 
to

make video accessible? Is it a matter of adding a subtitle track?

Thanks for your help.

[WSG] Making Video Accessible

[Viable Design]

Hello. I recently found a video embedder plugin that works well with
WordPress and validates perfectly with a strict doctype. But I realize
validation does not equal accessibility, so what exactly needs to be done to
make video accessible? Is it a matter of adding a subtitle track?

Thanks for your help.
