Yes, the track enable bit, and also track alternates (really alternatives) are both in MP4. I think this is a natural way to bundle media -- put the optional features in tracks that get enabled on demand. My current naive thinking is that a media query might again help here.

Let me know if that captures it. seems it would be more natural to say if a track is in a trackgroup, that it is enabled if the trackgroup is enabled. example. I think I want to write: <trackgroup media="accessibility(captions:yes") > <track src="fr.srt" lang="fr"/> <track src="de.srt" lang="de" /> </trackgroup> and not <trackgroup > <track src="fr.srt" lang="fr" media="accessibility(captions:yes")/> <track src="de.srt" lang="de" media="accessibility(captions:yes") /> </trackgroup> and certainly not <trackgroup > <track src="fr.srt" lang="fr" media="accessibility(captions:yes")/> <track src="de.wav" lang="de" media="accessibility(audiodescription:yes") /> </trackgroup> since the semantics of trackgroup is exclusive; surely therefore the "do you want it at all" question applies only ever to the whole group?
