Yesterday, I hinted at Mike that the (automatically generated CC) .srt 
made by YouTube was severely broken; the text itself has errors, but 
also the textflow/segments are quite random. Thus, the timings are 
incorrect.

Mike probably has his own English .srt file, with good timings, and will 
likely fill it in with the translations and submit to YouTube.

BUT there's a hitch: Many languages have different length of those 
sentences; at least in my case I had to split the segments differently 
from what you'd do for English.
I'm pretty sure there are other languages having this problem.

So, I have prepared my own .srt for Icelandic (testing right now) which 
I'm going to send Mike (in a matter of minutes).

Would you like to have the English .srt I made, with correct text but 
also some additional frames/segments?

Best regards,

Sveinn í Felli
