I wonder what it's like trying to read the captioning on a video screen
that's 2.5"?

I have been thinking for some time about how we should make podcasts
accessible. I just attended a presentation by Apple on iTunes U, so I asked
the presenter.

The presenter replied that since video podcasts are essentially quicktime
files, we could do closed captioning via Final Cut Pro.
Video podcasts include powerpoints and static images that can be synched to
the audio.

Has anyone tried this solution? If so, report, please, and I can make an
appointment with our lab to try it out!

thanks
