For more on this, see ProudGeek’s post from last year.)  [...]

It can be found at http://www.mallorcaweb.net/unix/stuff/Google2SRT-0.3.zip. If it doesn’t work correctly downloading subtitles, try to do it manually. There are webpages explaining how to do it manually.

He said there have been requests for this option, and this option (and a full-screen video view) is at the top of the list of things for him to do. He’s been swamped doing stuff for another start-up he’s doing, has a conference coming up, lots other stuff. But he said he’ll get to this when things lighten up!

He asked a good question: should there be any “mark-ups” (I assume rich text / HTML features like colors and font styles?) exported as well into the .srt file? He has a forum thread going on about this at the following link:
http://www.overstream.net/forum/viewtopic.php?t=65

Stay tuned! When this feature goes live, I’ll be sure to announce it as well.
