I wonder if WGBH will have to do something as VHS becomes rarer and rarer. In England, lots of DVD's have DVS tracks. Wonder why not here in the states?

Subject: Re: Describe Video Service Hi Paul! Well this is a good point that both you and Bruce hade. The reason I suggested this is because it was suggested at our Michigan Council of the Blind board meeting, that the DVS track should be the default one. I was in favor of that, but didn't quite think of the ramifications. I get DVS from our State Library. They're on video cassettes, not DVD! I get DVD's from a company called Netflix on line. I miss the described tracks, but get the DVD's because I like that DVD sound! ----- Original Message ----- From: "Paul Henrichsen" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "'PC audio discussion list.
