       Thanks for this.  Might it be feasible to include such in a 
subtitle?


       I'm told that subtitles can be included for any number of 
languages, and a user can turn on whatever language s/he wants.  I know 
nothing about how to do that.  I found 
"https://trac.ffmpeg.org/wiki/HowToBurnSubtitlesIntoVideo", but I don't 
know if this would support subtitling options or a live link.


       Thanks again,
       Spencer
