Hi Thomas, The audio description is on the CD's. If you were using windows and a program called for example "PowerDVD" you could insert your films and then use the PowerDVD software to play the audio described feature on the DVD. Note that however the DVD must first support the feature. I believe that perhaps you can go to the RNIB web site and get a listing somewhere on there as to the titles you culd buy or perhaps someone can enlighten us and know if audio described films are now standard. Paul. -----Original Message----- From: vip_students-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:vip_students-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Tom Connole Sent: 21 May 2007 00:21 To: Mr. Paul Traynor Subject: [vip_students] audio Description. Hi list members, Can someone please give me some information about audio described DVD's for example is the audio description on the machine used to play them or on the disc itself? I sent this query to the list but it must not have reached you because I did not get any replies.
