We could probably wrap Google Video's own video wrapper with our own API for that stuff - the remainder of the problem would be hoping every video is available via Google Video [not youtube*]. I'll write up an explanation of how Google Video works, from a REST perspective, and describe how it can be used to provide a DIV overlay for closed captioning in other languages, using some sort of targeting system for positioning the CC1, CC2, ..., CCn labels.
If somebody could actually implement my spec for that, I'd appreciate it. Coming up with specs is easy, but typing code is painful. * Last I checked, Google Video had the most RESTful API for video presentation and mashups.
