[theora-dev] Section 508/Closed captioning

[Daniel B. Miller]

this has come up with customers.  It's a serious undertaking.

Someone should look at MPlayer (www.mplayerhq.hu) -- it's a Linux player
with amazing codec support (something like 75 codecs) plus lots of CC
stuff.

OGG should of course have all sorts of meta-data hooks in it, ala QT and
MPEG-4.  While we're at it, it should cook me breakfast!--)
