Description Silvia Pfeiffer 2012-11-19 12:43:00 PST 
The TextTrack API supports out-of-band as well as in-band text tracks for media elements.

Apple's media ending has a layout test for in-band CEA 608 caption support using LayoutTests/media/content/counting-captioned.mov.

We should add support for Chromium for WebVTT in WebM, too.

make sure the support is not format specific, i.e., if WebM is to support in-band text tracks, then that support should not be limited to WebVTT
Comment 2 Silvia Pfeiffer 2012-11-19 15:39:08 PST 
There is no specification for any other timed text format in WebM - only WebVTT:
