I'd like to invite you to try http://TvEsl.com. We present authentic English videos with unique interactive captions. Students can click on any word in the captions and look up its meaning in realtime, in both bilingual and english-english dictionaries. (Over 30 bilingual dictionary languages) Each video also becomes an instant caption-based listening game, randomly generated so that it plays differently every time. Other features include pitch-corrected slow play and translation subtitles available in select languages for select videos.

Institutional portals can be developed (e.g. http://matc.yabla.com) for schools and companies.

Apparently the link doesn't work on a Mac, or it's down. I'll try again another time, for curiosity's sake ;).

I had no trouble with this link. It looks VERY interesting, though I could not find any information about who produced it. I hope more information along the lines of "Who are We and Why are We Doing This?" is included soon.

Hello. TvEsl.com definitely works on Macs. It better; it's built on Macs! (It works on PC, Macs, Linux also... all you need is a modern browser.)
