Since most of the TV shows already have captions, all they have to do just extract the captions and convert them into subtitles. I believe the TV stations will be happy to let Yabla play their videos as long as their commercials are included. Many immigrants, including myself would love to use Yabla to improve their English if it is free. If Yabla could do it now, it would be hotter that Youtube. Otherwise, sooner or later, Google will do it. I just looked at the English.yabla.com. It has much less videos than other languages. I don't think anyone would like to pay for it. Nicolas, thanks a lot for the information. I think the it should be able to do it for free for English.

Not to mention, I'm sure the bandwidth for so many videos is considerable. If they didn't charge, the service would probably quickly go under.

It's too bad they're charging money for this... All we need to do is get a ton of people to start translating foreign language videos already on YouTube and stuff. It'll be great! :P Awesome, thanks for sharing!
