Secondary audio description formats...

Hi everyone, I have a quick question for you. It appears that the W3C
requires the following to be present when producing a multimedia/video
presentation:

* Text transcript
* Closed captioning
* Secondary audio descriptions

The only format I have found that supports all three of these requirements
is Apple's QuickTime video. It seems to be the secondary audio
descriptions/track that is the feature missing from many players (including
Windows Media Player).

What has everyone else done when producing an accessible multimedia/video
presentation/file.


Thanks,
GM
