Tim,
The Canadian store may use dv instead of dvs. Additionally, it is
possible? that the Canadian Itunes store does not include the dv on the
track. Sometimes films I know were describes do not seem to include the
description on the Canadian titles, at least not the ones I may borrow
from the library.
Thanks for reminding me to ask the National film board about this
situation.

Hi,
Regarding entering "dvs" in the Search field within iTunes, I believe it varies
per country on the number of titles that will come up. Entering that in the Canadian
store yields no results.

Thanks, tim. I posted before I saw your message. Yes, sometimes my sighted
husband and I watch movies together, and he may not always want that DVS track.

On the other hand, there are different fingers.

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.

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,
Teresa
Slow down; you'll get there faster.
