I'm sure they would let you use their software, as it's based on FLOSS...

That is basically the same as what I do already when I translate videos for my kids while we watch them, but those kids' endurance surpasses my patience by quite a lot in the long run.    I would really like a way to dub videos and share it online in a simple way. Like that project with crowdsourced subtitles on videos featurede previously on Boing Boing : http://boingboing.net/2010/12/09/universal-subtitles.html Unfortunately I am not smart enough to build such a feature myself.

I just recently started a tumblr (is that what you call it? a tumble-log?) with short films, animations and other cinematic experiences from the web ( for the curious here is a link : minicinema.tumblr.com ) and just this morning I decided to make one more focusing on kid friendly movies.  I really wish there was a way to dub youtube/vimeo videos though, because there is so much good stuff out there, but since I am danish and my kids are too, they can't understand most of what is out there since its in english. It is such a shame, so will somebody please invent a way to do dubs/voiceovers on online videos so I could make my own translations/voiceovers of some of those great educational and entertaining videos floating about the interwebs?
