Hello All,
Hoping one of you might be able to help me out with a Friday puzzle. We
recently purchased this DVD for one of our German professors:
Almanya : Willkommen in Deutschland
<https://www.amazon.com/Almanya-Willkommen-in-Deutschland-DVD-Import/dp/B004UJ3FP4/ref=sr_1_3?s=movies-tv&ie=UTF8&qid=1475853452&sr=1-3>
The Amazon record AND the WorldCat record both indicate that there are
German and Turkish subtitles available on this disc. We have not been
able to get either of those subtitle tracks to work. (Using the subtitle
button on our remotes allows us to select either subtitle option, but
nothing shows up on the screen unless the characters are speaking in
Turkish -- then the German subtitles appear.)
We've tried it in three separate region-free players, but no go. If any
of you have this DVD in your collection and would be able to verify for
me whether it does or does not have subtitles, I'd be very
appreciative. (Trying to decide whether we've ended up with a defective
one / if sending it back for another copy is worth our time.)
Thanks in advance,
--

VIDEOLIB is intended to encourage the broad and lively discussion of issues
relating to the selection, evaluation, acquisition,bibliographic control,
preservation, and use of current and evolving video formats in libraries and
related institutions. It is hoped that the list will serve as an effective
working tool for video librarians, as well as a channel of communication
between libraries,educational institutions, and video producers and
distributors.
