i need to display the annotations for some of my downloaded youtube videos. It's also important to make them closeable. Making them clickable would also be nice.

What i found out so far:

From what i understand there there is a vlc plugin/extension that could also render the annotations but i'm having a hard time finding it. Mplayer might also be an option but i'd have to convert the xml files to .bmp and then use a bmov filter to play them.

Any suggestions welcome.

Edit: to further clarify i would like to display/overlay annotations from a youtube xml file (i'm willing to go through a conversion step if i have to) pretty much the same way i can display subtitles from a srt or sub file.

Edit2: I'm open to using other players too ( if vlc is not a feasible option for what i want)

tough nut to crack, eh? – kowalsk Jan 17 at 14:08
I'm surprised this question didn't get many more +1 votes since pretty much everybody downloads youtube videos these days (just check the top 10 downloaded FF addons) and with all this annotation craze going on many many videos are downloaded "incomplete". – kowalsk Jan 19 at 16:30
how do you save annotations or captions to begin with?! – naxa May 28 at 6:41
