Yes, most videos linked in from YouTube give you an option to turn on Subtitles as that service is provided by YouTube. However, I had a huge problem at the end of last year where MGM targeted my videos and blocked them. One day alone there were 120 videos blocked. Other people had some of the same videos and they still remained but MGM didn't like me sharing them. I spent a lot of time reuploading them but they would just target them again. Discussion video, Promo Videos, scene Videos and some songs were the ones they targeted. It's strange because I could upload the whole episode where the preview clips, the songs and scenes or a discussion video utilizing scenes from an episode come from and MGM wouldn't block it, even though its the same material. Anyway I had to look for an alternative way to provide video. This Blogger site does have a facility to upload video directly but it can only be a small video. So I've had to reduce the video quality to upload directly. However, Blogger doesn't offer the subtitles option I'm afraid. It's been a long tedious process, which at times has made me consider just removing the site altogether. Yesterday's anniversary post did originally have a long explanation about what's been happening behind the scenes as the video issue was just one of the problems I've faced in the last 6 months. However, in the end I decided not to include the post as it wasn't celebratory. Hope that explains.
I was wondering, is there a reason why some videos have subtitles and some don't?
