Description
Even with medialement.js in place, captions do not work in IE8. When Captionator is forced to instantiate (despite the face that it's not an HTML5 browser), you get an error that states "HTMLVideoElement is undefined. It seems that mediaelement.js fills in the MediaElement, but not HTMLVideoElement...

2012-12-11T15:32:30.210-0500 For now (the initial release of Video Player), hide the Captions button and fallback to Transcripts for text alternative.

2013-01-16T13:10:00.984-0500 From the Video Player Development Planning wiki page:
http://wiki.fluidproject.org/display/fluid/FLOE+Video+Player+Development+Planning"code to hide captions button has been merged into master. We should revisit, to figure out a way to get captions to work.
Code will also need to be revisited after FLUID-4879 is addressed, but would like to get this code in. Fixes to IE8 full-screen handling would be improved." -
