Re: Fwd: Universal Subtitles will caption your videos!

I've been working with the Miro Community folks to figure out how to add
Universal Subtitles functionality to videos on GNOME Miro Community
(http://gnome.mirocommunity.org/).  It seems it's not too difficult.
Once a video has been registered with Universal Subtitles, there's some
embed code that I can just swap into GMC.

I'm definitely interested in doing that for GNOME videos on GMC for any
videos registered with Universal Subtitles.
