    For anyone who wants to know the difference between these terms:

    • subtitles - just includes the dialogue
    • captions - also includes description of other sounds
    • closed - text is stored separately from the video, and can turn on and off while watching
    • open - text is part of the video image itself

      You can include this one too:

      • forced - only includes subtitles for speech not in the main language (e.g. Vulcan speech is subtitled but English is not in Star Trek)

        That’s what burned in means.

        I added an extra line break, but it already looked fine in the default webview and in Jerboa. Normally lists don’t need line breaks around them.

      What do you call DVD subtitles, which are in some ways closed (can be toggled) but in some ways like open (stored as bitmaps)?
