Captioning videos

Digital Commons is starting a pilot project where they would host streaming videos - allowing us to bypass Kaltura. One concern I would have with this idea is the ability of their platform to integrate/support captioning on the videos. Here is how it is currently done, per Bob:
AST/CaptionSync is integrated into Kaltura and everything happens within Kaltura.  Basically you kick off the process in Kaltura by tagging a video as Captioning Requested which alerts AST that there is a video in their queue.  Once they start captioning, they change the tag to In Process and when completed, to Complete.  They upload the caption file into Kaltura before tagging the video Complete and when that happens, the video w/captions is good to go.
