Re: Ok, Stupid Got Her DVD to Play!
Hi, No it's not the letter H anymore. Try some other letters grin I don'don't remember what they've changed it to. Maybe a or c.

Hi Tom, No, I found that you have to go to the language menu and there are several selections there. English, French, Director's Comments, and described audio for the visually impaired. You select that but I have a couple problems even with this. Most of the time it says described audio for the visually impaired. (unavailable) I have clicked on this and it still says unavailable. I'm not sure what you have to do for it to become available. I've tried waiting until the movie starts and then clicking on it but that doesn't work. Someone told me to press the letter H when the movie starts, and that didn't do anything either. Now the one time I finally was able to get to select the language and have the movie start with the video description it was playing beautifully and then shortly after it got into the movie the video description just stopped but the movie kept playing without description. I wonder if I need to open title 1 and select all 29 chapters so that when it starts it will describe it all. I guess it really doesn't matter whether I choose title 1 or title 2. It just seems to me that if each DVD is different they should give you some short instructions as to where to find the video description and how to incorporate it into the movie. This is not intuitive and, having never worked with DVD's before, I don't have a clu what I'm doing. It's certainly not like VCR, put the tape in and play.

Re: Ok, Stupid Got Her DVD to Play!
Hi Tom, Success!! Ok, I got the movie to play with the audio description and I really enjoyed it. There are what appears to be two versions of the movie on the CD. I don't know if one is the one they released for the theaters and the other one maybe has some sceenes either added or cut or what. I selected Title 1 last night, but I'm going to try Title 2 and see what the differences are, if any. For those who might encounter this here is what I did. Placed the DVD in drive and opened PowerDVD. Waited for it to load. When the music started playing I pressed space so I could hear the menus better. I went down to go to in the contect menu. Right arrowed and went down to title 1. Right arrowed again to chapter 1 and moved up to browse. I then selected cTitle 1, Chapter 1 and tabbed to go to. Then I went down to languages, right arrowed and went down to where it said audio description for blind users. Before it had been saying this was unavailable, but now that I had a title selected it allowed me to choose this. I then closed the context menus and pressed enter and the description started immediately. I'm sure each DVD is going to take some experimentation of this type to get it to play. However, I'm glad I finally figured it out and thanks to all who gave me tips on DVD and things to try. Kris H.

RE: Ok, Stupid Got Her DVD to Play!
Hi Chris Not sure if you will be able to access it or not but that option is usually in the language options for the DVD. You get various languages and surround sound options and then something about audio described. Hope you can find the language menu. cheers hamish -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Kristine Hickerson Sent: Tuesday, April 26, 2005 1:36 AM To: PC audio discussion list.

At the beginning where his mother tells him to remember his promise to her and then when he's waiting for the bus there is no description. I haven't gone any further because I thought they should be saying something to describe by then and there was nothing. Is there something I need to do? Some setting I should choose.

Hi All, Well, I finally got my DVD to play, and now I have a new problem. The audio is poor. It sounds a little garbled or something.

Re: Ok, Stupid Got Her DVD to Play!
Hi Hamish, Thank you so much!! Yes, I can access the language menus they are in the context menus. I just didn't mess with them because I thought I didn't need to change languages. One other question. There appear to be two copies of the movie on the disc. Title 1 and Title 2 both have 29 chapters. I tried selecting each of them and saw no difference. All the other titles on the disc only have 2 chapters to them. Why would they put two copies of the movie on the disc and are they the same or would there be some differences in them? This has been very frustrating, but also very interesting. With so much available on DVD, I'm sure I'll be working with a lot more of these. Thanks again!!! Kris H.
