A. Transcripts are visible on the video at the bottom according to the time stamp (similar to closed captions).
B. Entire transcript is visible as a list in a scrollable div container under the video, and the appropriate line depending on the seek bar is selected / auto-scrolled.
- Collapse / expand box, collapsed by default?

Don't write any JavaScript.
I don't think we need to be concerned about the different between transcripts/captions/subtitles. Just implement something working, and that's a base themers can expand from. The primary aim is accessibility, not internationalisation.
