Sarah,
I can't get the video to play on any of my machines, in the web page or in the QuickTime application.

I've got an sample HTML that you can use as a model at
http://ncam.wgbh.org/richmedia/media/carqt/

Also, your quicktime movie's width was not correctly identified in MAGpie, resulting in the video region being unnecessarily large and the video
being up in the corner. The smil file below fixes this problem, but it is an easy adjustment in the MAGpie properties dialog.

<smil xmlns:qt="http://www.apple.com/quicktime/resources/smilextensions" xmlns="http://www.w3.org/TR/REC-smil" qt:time-slider="true"
qt:autoplay="true">
<head>
<meta name="title" content="Academic Success for Dartmouth College Students: Time Management" />
<meta name="author" content="Academic Skills Center at Dartmouth College" />
<meta name="copyright" content="Dartmouth College" />
<layout>
<root-layout height="195" width="330" background-color="black" />

<region height="60" width="320" background-color="white" left="5" top="130" id="textregion" />
</layout>
</head>
<body>
<par dur="0:16:42.30">
<video alt="Time Management" dur="0:16:42.30" region="videoregion" src="rtsp://quicktime.dartmouth.edu/~cc/smil/TM.mov" />
<textstream alt="English captions for Time Management" dur="0:16:42.30" region="textregion" src="http://www.dartmouth.edu/~shorton/smil/TM.txt" />
</par>
</body>
</smil>

Hope this helps,
AWK

Sarah's movie works perfectly on my Mac (though I realize full well that this
isn't enough.) Very beautiful work and the captions show up at the right
times!

I've tried it on Win2000, WinXP, and OSX, and have not seen the video yet.
Seems like a streaming issue rather than a "getting captions to show" issue.
