Video subtitles are an accessibility problem. In many countries websites are required by law to offer reasonable accessibility features, and one would hope that video subtitles are considered "reasonable" in 2012.
While there is a W3C and WHATWG spec in the works, none of the major browsers fully supports the new track elements and the brand new WebVTT subtitle standard. And older browsers may support video tags, but have no built in way to show subtitles over HTM5 video at all.
VideoSub is an easy solution for this problem and will get out of the way if the track element references a subtitle file in the new WebVTT standard.
