It doesn't give that much info, exploring further, I found

* Text Tracks
   http://www.apple.com/quicktime/tutorials/texttracks.html
* Text Descriptors

I found also movies in Itunes which were done with Text Track and its  
working in Safari 3.1 and Camino. Example. It was on by default and I  
didn't find anyway to remove it in the browser.
