This is not an answer just a hint . I have found the URL which loads the related file like this , and its in JSON format.

Think you need to check with TED for that. The talks are available in many languages, but that's as part of the flash experience, so I can't see how to extract the subtitles. Nice idea though.

See github.com/oxplot/ted2mkv It lets you download a TED talk to an mkv file with all the subtitles/metadata embedded in it.

It's http://www.ted.com/talks/subtitles/id/451/lang/hin but thanks very much for the tip! I'm going to see how I can convert those to a compatible format now.
