in a project I'm working on I'm trying to figure out a way to work out a little glitch. Please bare with me as I try to explain. An idea I came up with for a solution is something I've never seen before but I wonder if it's possible.

Ok here the situation. I have an application that plays subtitle files (.srt). Now this does not play any video files. It only displays the words of the subtitles file. The words show up at the time they are set to show on the file.

What I do is I run this subtitle player and drag it over a browser that is streaming the matching video (Such as a TV episode or movie). The hard part is getting the subtitles and the video to timed together so the subtitles show up when they are suppose to.

Here's my idea and I wonder if it's possible.

Imagine you have the subtitles player. It has a "Play" and "Pause" link just like any video player. I'm wondering if there's a way to make it so I can activate both play buttons with one click. In other words when I start the subtitles player I'm also starting the video player.

I hope I'm explaining this clearly. I'm basically looking for a way to start both programs running at the same time.
