      For anyone who wants to know the difference between these terms:

      • subtitles - just includes the dialogue
      • captions - also includes description of other sounds
      • closed - text is stored separately from the video, and can turn on and off while watching
      • open - text is part of the video image itself

        You can include this one too:

        • forced - only includes subtitles for speech not in the main language (e.g. Vulcan speech is subtitled but English is not in Star Trek)
