Re: Multi-bitrate Quicktime SMIL files

You're going to format the caption file three times? Yikes. Why not
just make the video sit in the center of a video area and when the video
is smaller in dimension there will be some additional border around the
video but the captions will still take up the same amount of space. In
some cases this will result in captions that are wider than the video,
but it won't be that dramatic and I think it will likely be a better
reading experience.

For the video, I'm not sure about QT's bitrate switch support in SMIL,
but you can easily do this with ref movies to control the video.
