Hi Henri,

About closed captioning and quicktime

Built-in solutions
Solutions such as QuickTime Text Track provide closed captioning, while iChat AV and iSight provide the first video conferencing solution with strong enough clarity to allow sign language communication over the Internet. With these built-in accessibility features, Macs enhance teaching and learning for a person who is deaf or hard of hearing.

It doesn't give that much info, exploring further, I found

* Text Tracks

* Text Descriptors

Here something captioned with SMIL. (tested positively in Camino and Safari 3).

I found also movies in Itunes which were done with Text Track and its working in Safari 3.1 and Camino. Example. It was on by default and I didn't find anyway to remove it in the browser.
