When you find the combo box for the letters, don't tap it. Press the Alt key
and hold it down, while pressing the down arrow to open the combo box. Once
the combo box is open, arrow up or down until you hear the letter beginning
the movie names you want. There are A thru Z, as well as numbers 1 thru 9,
and an all listing.
Once you have arrowed to the letter you want, then press enter, and tab to
the search button and press Enter again.
Now, for example, if you selected G, the first entry to come up in the
movies would be G.I. Joe retaliation.
Hope this helps.

Hello Bill and All,
While looking for movie titles on the MegaMall website, it seems that all
I can find are recently added movies. What I'd like to do, is be able 2
look at all the selection of movies that are available and choose one for
viewing. However, all I seem to find is a combo box with letters to choose
from, when I tap on any of this, nothing happens.
So how do I see all titles? I'm using a Galaxy S4.
Thanks.

Nope, it's the same thing. Use the links list with Insert+F7 after you
log
into the Blind Mice Mega mall and press the letter B as in Bravo until
you
hear Blind Mice Movie Vault, and click that link.

Hi Bill, so what is the Blindmice Megamall? Is that different than
Blindmice Mart?
Bill White <[email protected]> wrote:
Hi, Shane. First you have to set up an account with blind mice mart.
After
that, you click on the Blind Mice Movie Vault, and the links to the
movies
are on that page.

Boy, don't you hate that!
Now I remember. Part of the free package includes the option of
installing the Sendspace wizard. That is where all that junk got
installed on your machine. The wizard is not at all needed, and
you
can use the usual windows download process.

I did get the free version. I will never ever do it again!!! It
put
something on my computer that really messed everything up. It
changed
my search engine from Google, messed up a lot of other internet
things
and took me many weeks to clean up.

For Send Space, you can use the free option, which eliminates the
need
to install any software. At the free level, you can do only one
download at a time, and it is limited to 80 KBS. At that speed,
it
takes about 15-20 minutes to download a full length movie. If
you
pay, it is something like
$7.95 a month for the Send Space Pro level, you can download
several
at a time, and the download time for a movie drops to maybe 5
minutes
or less, depending upon Internet traffic.. I have done it both
ways
and the free level is fine if you are downloading only a couple
of
items. If you want to do a bunch of download, then you can pay
the
$7.95 for a single month and download to your hearts content. I
want
to emphasize that the $7.95 monthly charge for the Pro level is
money
going directly to Send Space, not Blind Mice.

Be extremely careful if you choose to use the movie vault from
Blind
Mice. They use Send Space. When I installed Sendspace on my
computer
recently it put all kinds of stuff I didn't want on my computer.
Be
sure to use custom install for it. I did email Blind Mice about
this
but did not receive any response.

I've had great luck with AMC here in Texas. They set the headset
the
right way all the time.
One note, though -- most of the time the headphones on these
systems
are not the best. Many of the receiver boxes use a standard
headphone
jack, so you can bring your own higher quality headphones. I've
found
this improves the sound quality a lot.

This site (below) tracks current releases of DVD's with Audio
Description as well as TV schedules for many described programs
on
TV and helps to explain how to access the alternative audio on
these
broadcasts:
http://www.acb.org/adp/ad.html
This site (also below) tracks movies in theaters showing with
Audio
Description and various captioning options. As the name would
imply,
their original focus was apparently for hearing impaired
individuals, so you will need to be certain to select the
"Descriptive Video"
filter, or you'll get a mixture of results with both DVS and
for
the
hearing impaired (some movies have both at once). The hearing
impaired solutions vary from headphones that make things
louder,
to
open captions which all sighted guests can see, to rear
displayed
captions where sighted moviegoers can put a mirror into a cup
holder
and read the captions from the back wall (they are shown in
reverse
and the mirror fixes that.) As a general rule, Regal theaters
offers
the vast majority of their films with DVS- probably more than
90%:
http://www.captionfish.com
The big shift at Regal happened when they went all-digital.
Since
movies all come over the internet, there is no hassle with
sending
along the DVS. AMC used (may still use) an older system where
they
have to send a CD or DVD with the DVS and any captioning on it,
and
then they have to load the right disk with the movie, and it
was
rarely offered and then hardly ever worked correctly. This was
back
when most theaters still showed actual films. I had assumed AMC
would be the first to use the digital DVS system, but so far, I
am
only aware of the strong DVS offering by Regal and a few of
their
affiliated companies.
If you are new to this, briefly, for DVD's you select an
alternative
language in the setup menu, just like selecting French,
Spanish,
etc., On television broadcasts, you do likewise, but the odd
part
is
there is place where DVS is listed in some systems, and that is
not
where the audio description tends to run. You will most often
find
it under "Spanish", though one network- I think it was TBS,
tends
to
show only actual Spanish under Spanish, and uses another
language-
I
think it was Portuguese (?) for English DVS.
What you get on DVD, and with Broadcast TV is description in
quieter
parts of a show or over music (rarely over dialogue) and they
tend
to "dip" (make quieter) the background audio as they speak when
possible.
In a theater, they cannot dip the background audio, but you
wear
headphones tied to a receiver that plays ONLY the description
in
the
same quieter places in the show and you listen to the movie
(apart
from the description) along with everyone else in the theater.
One important note. The Regal theaters use the same headsets
for
hearing impaired and blind patrons. The select a specific
channel
for the theater where you will watch, and they have to select
if
it
us for hearing impaired or blind. Hearing impaired seems to be
more
common, and often they set things incorrectly. The hearing
impaired
assistance, in this case, it to let you play the sound louder-
that's it. We have found they do not run preview audio through
the
headset for DVS, so the headphones won't do anything until the
movie
starts. If you're hearing coming attraction audio over the
headset,
go to customer service and have them fix the setting.
Do not assume that your white cane will clue them in at all.
About
2/3 of the time, when they bring the headset to us (in three
different theaters where we have attended, in two different
states)
they generally have the thing set wrong, so when they bring the
headset, your better off to just ask again- did you set this
for
AUDIO DESCRIPTION? NOT TO JUST MAKE THE SHOW LOUDER? More often
than
not, we get an embarrassed groan and an apology, with a quick
adjustment, and an "Enjoy the show!"
Sorry if that is TMI, but I hope that helps.
