Description
At the moment, the Video Player supports only CapScribe's native JSON-based caption format. It would be excellent to write a parser for YouTube's captions, especially now that AutoCaps and transcription syncing are available. Here's a page that outline's the YouTube caption format:

Should be pretty simple to write a regexp-based parser for this format, converting it into JSON.

2012-10-25T11:24:25.879-0400 We now support WebVTT captions. We should have another look at what formats YouTube supports, and how we work with them.
