Is it two videos playing simultaneously with the subtitles floated on top somehow? Really nice idea

It's a Flash presentation with a sliding menu area on the bottom and video above. The Flash includes embedding a custom video player showing an h.264 movie with controls. The video and subtitles are courtesy of Upian, a popular web producing company, documentarian and content provider.

The same page could be produced with jQuery sliding div's and HTML 5 embedding streamed video object along with some basic CSS styling and videoJS libary or similar. Flash is not supported on some popular wireless devices and this site looks like it intends to attract a hip/modern audience, so I am not impressed with the choice.
