#3About two years UC Berkeley was forced to take down most of their university lecture videos which were available freely and publicly due to some regulation around closed captioning availability. Presumably the cost to providing the closed captioning was considered too high. I wonder if some software and/or service provider could help get those videos back up.

#4Painful site design, at least change the background. You're not doing yourself any favors with that repeating geometric background. Having your bold text as the same color as the non geometric portion of the background doesn't help either. I hope your burned in subtitles don't make use of the same design principles of anti-contrast and signal hidden in noise.

#5The article's actual title uses the word "burn", not "add", which makes more sense. "Add video subtitles on the fly from plain text" is basically just a description of subtitles as they work today.

This critique seems needlessly harsh and a bit offtopic to me.

I like it, text is not hard to read and the background and interesting design choices have more personality than most cookie cutter designs. You gotta appreciate the variety and spice of life.

well, minus the on the fly part, i guess. I thought it might be semi automatic by trying to skip actually understanding spoken words but counting syllables or similar to detect accurate timing. I don't know what the workflow usually looks like for this kind of task but this one presented here doesn't look too dumb to me. even without burning them into the video.

#9Is there an option to generate a separate subtitle file in a standardized format (e.g. WebVTT) without modifying the base video?

i think the Matroska container format (mkv) can do things like that. I remember reading that you could store video/audio content in separate files without player configuration. No idea how well that's supported though.
Update: Sorry, but i just realized you were more likely to ask about what this software can do and not how to link external subtitle files to your video.
