Subtitle and the future of the Player control

[Paul Dupuis]

There are a lot more details to really assess a best choice here (unless 
your questions is rhetorical).

Is this a planned web app, desktop app (which platforms) or a mobile 
app? I assume from the javascript player comment that you are looking to 
build this as a web app? What video file formats do you need to support 
- just mpeg4 or other formats?
