Just a comment inline on my "confusion of transcripts and captions"...

These are not used as a place-holder for transcript. However, *interactive transcripts* can be created from caption files (as described in our requirements document). They can even better be created from captions+descriptions files because then then end up having all the information included. This is in fact done in the example that I sent the other day: http://dispatch.media.gbuild.net/video/14 . Hope that clarifies that point. If there is any wording that could be used in the CP to make it clearer for those that got confused, do propose it. Thanks, Silvia.
