- Timecode and closed captioning display in QuickTime Player

It's a shame that Apple hasn't yet updated the
developer docs to explain the
new captioning features. Hopefully it will be
discussed at WWDC. We can always just do the good
old alternate Text Track and View > Choose
Language thing, but I think it's high time for
something a bit more sophisticated. Especially if
Apple ever wants to expand it's movie selling
business outside the US. Robust captioning support might even
help push QT as a viable distribution medium as
well.
