Hi self.  ;)

I received this mail from Giacomo Comes, that I was requested to forward
on to this list:

Hi,
I read your message in mplayer dev list
(http://mplayerhq.hu/pipermail/mplayer-dev-eng/2004-April/025708.html).
I downloaded in the past the stream you mention. Not straightforward but
quite simple to do.

By the way I found that there are available also closed caption
(subtitles).

Example:
http://www.pbs.org/wgbh/nova/mars/media2/nova_mars_3101c01_caps.mov

MPlayer doesn't support them directly. It would be nice to implement
such a feature or to have a program that can convert them to a format
that MPlayer understand.

I'm writing to you in case you can post my request to the list.
I have tried in the past to post something but without success.
(I'm not subscribed to the list).

That's it.

Thanks.

Giacomo
