Youtube captions suck big time. Too difficult.

You really have just a few options. Overstream is easy to use and lots of Korean stuff subtitled also. You'll find stuff of mine there if you hunt hard. Here's Big Bang Makes nice small captions so it isn't too obtrusive.

http://dotsub.com does a good job and others will subtitle a video you put up there if you requested ....

Windows Media Player is the handiest for any teacher to learn how to subtitle video. Use www.keepvid.com and download the video to your desktop. convert using www.zamzar.com to wmv and then load into WMP which is in your programs. Hit start - programs. Then learn how to do it , not hard....

I have hundreds of subtitled stuff on EFL Classroom 2.0 and use vimeo now for the high quality of the video. Youtube sucked because it is a very low quality .flv and goes all distorted....

I found some Korean subtitled English music videos through naver.com. To find them, you can just type in the singer's name (either in Korean or English) and type in 자막 afterwards. Just warning: there isn't much.

About my own post.

Don't mean to say what is captioned or subtitled on youtube sucks. Not at all. Just their own system of adding captioning. Youtube used to be so open and development minded but now they are closing doors and really walling in everything. Even with their streams and API. Hard now to even get the original videos (of much better quality to work with) or to get playlists to stream to your own players/site...

windows movie maker (part of XP).... create your own content.

Use pics from around the school, add your favorite music track (mp3, CD, wma, midi, etc) put it all together and bob's yer uncle.

Doesn't take much longer than searching youtube for content and the kids just eat it up when THEY are the stars in the music video that you use in class.
