Changes
added ogg.k.ogg.k suggestions
* (-) bitmap captions can only be viewed and not (easily) be used for other purposes such as braille or search indexing
* (+) bitmap captions can be internationalised and given in multiple languages
* (+) you can have total control over the appearance of the text (eg,
move it to where it doesn't interfere with viewing, add font style with no need for player support, etc)
* (-) in a digital world where the distribution of additional information can easily be achieved without destroying the format of the original data (both: video and text in this case), such a transfer of captions is not preferred
* (+) compared to open captions, bitmap captions can actually be selectively turned on and off
