This is a guess, based on using DVDs with a real machine and a real
television...my personal preference when not going to the theater.
Depending on the film in question, there is a complete fortunately blended
together edition of the film with the audio description. Speaking only
for myself, I cannot imagine just wanting the audio.
With many recent titles for example one need only press the number 5 on your
DVD remote and the film with audio description will play. Those who go
back to VHS may recall that one could actually buy or rent VHS editions of
described titles. the track with the film and description together
simulates this in the DVD arena.
Hope this touches on answering the question.
I might make a comment about a companion not enjoying the film as you do,
but that is off topic.

Hi,
I believe that at this point in the iTunes Movie evolution, audio description
is not separated out. Therefore, you either purchase a DVS copy or a standard
copy of the title. The problem here is that the movie will always play with
the audio description, which for me is no big deal, but for the sighted people
I watch movies with, it may just be. Not sure if it's a technology thing or
something else. Someone more well-read than me may be able to chime in with
the rationale.
Later...

Ok, I'll try to be as clear about this as I can, but I'm a bit mixed up. Many DVDs
nowadays have an optional audio description track, which is in the dVD menu. In the
iTunes store, I notice two different kinds of movies. One says "DVS: for blind
viewers". The other would seem to be the equivalent of the standard release. If i
play one of the second type, the audio is dimmed. Have the audio tracks been disabled
because of copyright restrictions, or am I using the wrong setting in iTunes? Why would
we need a special type of video file to get the audio description track? I've tried
bringing up audio selections in iTunes from titles I know have been described by DVS.
Thanks,

Slow down; you'll get there faster.
