Hi,
I'm using .mov to make some files (presentations of a conference) with
caption and also Portuguese Sign Language (www.acesso.umic.pt).
Using the transcript file where I have actually the caption and the
time code, I'd like to make links directly from the caption to the
inside of the movie. Seems me that could be interested for someone who
use a search engine, found the keywords on the caption and want to see
the portion of the movie.
I'm looking for something like:
<a href="filme.mov:timecode">Good Morning!</a>
Is it possible? How?
Thanks,
Jorge Fernandes

Hi Christian,
I read and appreciate. You don't have nothing to Quicktime? You know,
I "only" want to transform this page (http://www.acesso.umic.pt/conferencia_id/fichas/id002/transcript.html
) with links to the movie. Something like:
Where I have actually:
"(...)
[00:01:59.96]
Como já disse, o projecto centra-se nestes três âmbitos:
(...)"
I want to transform to something like this (in code):
"(...) <a href="movie.mov:[00:01:59.96]">Como já disse, o projecto
centra-se nestes três âmbitos:</a> (...)"

MIT does this with their Lecture Browser...
<http://www.galaxy.csail.mit.edu/lectures/>;
I don't know *exactly* how, but it can search the transcript files
and then provides links into the spots in the videos where that text is.
I see they have an "About" link that' pretty general. Maybe they can
give you more detailed development info if you contact them.

I don't have any experience with this myself, so I don't know for sure,
but I think it might be possible to do this using SMIL. The following
links might be useful:
<http://www.w3.org/AudioVideo/>;
<http://developer.apple.com/referencelibrary/QuickTime/idxScripting-date
.html>
<http://developer.apple.com/cgi-bin/search.pl?q=SMIL&;site=(quicktime)>
I hope this helps.

If SMIL is a possible solution, our own website shows how to jump
directly to a position within the movie -

Yes, very cool. It also crashed IE 7
How did they do this...? Lots of AJAX.

I made an example that is supposed to jump start 60 seconds from the
beginning and end at 2 minutes later with a smil file:
<par>
<!-- VIDEO -->
<video src="http://www.acesso.umic.pt/conferencia_id/fichas/id002/filme.mov
" clip-begin="60 sec" clip-end="00:02:00.00" region="videoregion"
title="Inclusão Digital" alt="Apresentação Inclusão Digital" />
<!-- CAPTIONS -->
<textstream src="http://www.acesso.umic.pt/conferencia_id/fichas/id002/caption_mac.txt
" clip-begin="60 sec" clip-end="00:02:00.00" region="textregion"
system-captions="on" title="Legendagem em Português" alt="Legendagem
em Português" />
</par>
But don't work...
I expected that the file will be downloaded and when reached the 60
seconds start the video. But, in fact, the video start immediately
from the beginning.
The sinc files are at:
