Yes, the concept of adding subtitles to any video is, I must say, absolutely amazing.

Simply awesome, prbass! This sums the most salient of the features waiting to be implemented quite nicely, I think. Donno about #6 though

The Drupal effort looks quite awesome too, thanks a lot for that!!! We should look more into whether anything needs to be done on our end to make the Drupal integration easier.

Overall it's great to know that people are excited about the service!

Thank you for this service. I am an accessibility / standards nut, and have long been frustrated by the lack of closed captioning on existing 3rd party video providers.

Your technology is really quite brilliant - now I can allow users to embed video in a website and insist they comply with the WCAG 1.0 minimum compliance level, which is theoretically required by law in the UK due to our Disability Discrimination Act.

I think that marketing it from the accessibility standpoint as well as the mashup point of view will be successful.

I'm really glad to hear you are giving up your day job at the end of August to work on this full-time.

Features which will help you take over the world:

1. Standards compliant XHTML embed code (especially important for accessibility)
2. Captions on and off
3. Smaller / less obtrusive player (smaller overstream.net branding)
4. Multilingual captions for same overstream: eg. http://www.overstream.net/view.php?oid=e0eflzaqe0uh&lang=en
http://www.overstream.net/view.php?oid=e0eflzaqe0uh&lang=fr

5. An open API

6. License / flog your technology to google/youtube for $$$$!

PS. I am hoping to get Overstream.net supported by the Embedded Media Field Module for Drupal, the popular open source CMS.

Hi, Maryellen,

Sorry I didn't answer earlier, this post has completely escaped my attention. Did you mean to post this in the Addover forum? This forum is for http://addover.com, not http://overstream.net...

Features I can think of (but I'm a new user):

* ability to copy someone else's subtitles
** Bonus: only copy timing (which makes the process easier from the second language onwards)

* ability to incorporate suggested changes from others

But perhaps this is too much of an implementation detail to think about - maybe it's better to start figuring out what feature you'd like to enable?

If we flesh out the feature first, then we can make a better decision what the best solution is - whether it's GIT (or SVN or Darts - just kidding) or Wiki, or whatever...

Very interesting, sjors. I've heard of Git, but didn't think of it in this context. We'll look into this more, thanks a lot for the references!

OK, should be all fixed now. Not sure what caused this to start happening, but it's been happening for a while and no one reported this until you, sjors. So thanks a lot!

Well, this looks like a quite bizarre bug. What did you enter into the comment field exactly?

Hi, sprite20!

At the moment, this is not possible. This feature has been requested several times already however, and your request is noted as well. We will try to implement it as soon as possible.

I just added these comments:

http://www.overstream.net/view.php?oid=a3nstlins8sn&query=russian&pt=1&related=search&skip=9

For some reason, "http" is replaced by "nhttp".

Is it because I put some Russian words in the comment or because I am running Linux (different line endings)?
