looking for a utility that'll let me add overlayed titles to video
files (of any type: MP4, MOV, AVI, etc.) That's ALL I need it to do.
Thanks.

But how easy would it be to add a 10-15 second "title" overlay?

This is probably a better link:

VideoSpin allows different text to display during different segments
of the video, but has limited input and output formats. However there
are several freeware apps such as Any Video Converter Free,
FormatFactory, and XMedia Recode that can convert the input/output to
MP4, MOV, etc.

VideoSpin by Pinnacle (registerware)
Input: AVI, MPEG1
Output: AVI, FLV, MPEG1
OS: Win XP/Vista

iWisoft Free Video Converter makes adding a text overlay a no-brainer.
Unfortunately there is no timeline so the text displays for 100% of
the video duration, not just a specific portion. Of course you could
cut your video into separate sections, apply text to specific
sections, then merge them all back together.

iWisoft Free Video Converter (forces update check via browser)
Input: 3G2(Mobile), 3GP(Mobile), AVCHD, AVI, DV, FLV, M4V, MKV, MOV,
MP4(IPOD,PSP,ZUNE), MPEG1, MPEG2_TS, NUT, QT, RM, RMVB, SWF, VOB,
WMV/ASF
Output: 3G2(Mobile), 3GP(Mobile), AVCHD, AVI, DV, FLV, M4V, MKV, MOV,
MP4(IPOD,PSP,ZUNE), MPEG1, MPEG2, MPEG2_TS, NUT, QT, RM, RMVB, SWF,
VOB, WMV/ASF
OS: Win 2000/XP/Vista/7

The Avisynth Subtitle command allows different text to display during
different portions of the video. Just set the text, coordinates, frame
range, etc. You can use VirtualDub to determine the frame ranges and
to visually test your output. Easy once you get the hang of it. Once
everything is to your liking, save the AVS and import it into Any
Video Converter Free or FormatFactory or XMedia Recode to convert the
AVS to MP4, MOV, AVI, etc.

#************Avisynth file *****************************

DirectShowSource("c:\videos\vid0003.avi", audio=true)

Subtitle("My Summer Vacation\nJuly 2009", lsp=10, align=2, y=250,
font="arial", size=22, text_color=$ffff00, halo_color=$000000,
first_frame=30,last_frame=406)

#************Avisynth file *****************************

VirtualDub displays both the time and corresponding number of frames
of your video. If you move the scrub control over the desired time
range it will display the corresponding frames needed for that time.

Use the Subtitle filter to specify the title parameters.

\n = new line
lsp = line spacing
align = text locator: top, middle, bottom, left, center, right
(x,y) positions text exactly
