Hi. I'm not sure this could work. Dvd isn't like television where
the audio description is carried on the sap channel. In the case of
dvs on dvd, it is carried on a completely different audio track. A
dvd might have several tracks, including different languages,
different audio mixes, director commentary and dvs. So I don't think
that the dvd player would know which of these was the dvs track. Now
what would be nice would be a way to quickly jump between audio
tracks. This wouldn't take you directly to the dvs track, but you'd
get there eventually.

I realize there are a lot of people who just wish to have audio
only, and not bother with audio description. Here is a suggestion
to consider: what if Apple develop or include, in VoiceOver, a menu
that will allow for people to have the option of either turning the
audio description on or leaving it off. There are a lot of DVD's
that have that feature built in, but the option is menu-driven, and
most DVD players don't have that feature where a blind person can
either activate the SAP that has the description on one channel;
perhaps in the future, Apple could incorporate that option in Apple
TV and also make that an option on the Mac. I will write to: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
with these suggestions. Richie Gardenhire, Anchorage, Alaska.
