User-controlled closed captions in event videos

I was wondering if anyone had developed a solution so learners can toggle close captioning on/off in event videos in Captivate. I am aware of Paul Wilson's method for hardcoding captions into videos. We've done this using Premier rather than Camtasia. I was thinking that it should be possible to give learners control over whether they see captions or not with a custom button, say beside the video playbar. Has anyone done this? Can you suggest a good way to achieve this desirable functionality to support accessibility requirements?

Thanks

Steve

    The only way I know of doing this is to create the video in an html page and use a .vtt file for the captions, when the browser sees the vtt include, it will also include a CC button.
