Just to expand on that point, I think it's a shame that HTML 5's video element doesn't provide direct support for a widely adopted closed caption format like SRT, SMIL or DXFP. Instead, content authors are told to use open captions (captions embedded in the video itself). The other option is to use javascript to pull in the SRT (via jQuery SRT [1]) or DXFP (via HTML5_player.js [2]).
