>> Hi,
>>
>> Well, the handful of audio described movies I've viewed are American 
>> based with American describers. I suppose most accents I could 
>> understand; it seems though that if they're foreign describers, wouldn't 
>> they be foreign movies too? Maybe not all of them. someone told me that 
>> harry potter series was on blind mice.
>>
>> Anyway, someone reminded me from another list that Amazon sells some 
>> described dvds. This wouldn't solve the  online streaming question, but 
>> would allow one to buy real movies. The thing about that isI don't know 
>> how you'd narrow searches to audio described movies. Maybe I'll look 
>> around amazon's site and answer my own question. Also, someday, as 
>> legislation takes affect, maybe these internet companies such as netflix 
>> will offer described movies. We should be able to buy or rent streaming 
>> videos like everyone else. Also, since I can see a bit, I'd like the 
>> video format of it. Movies and tv shows online usually have a button for 
>> closed captioning. So why can't they place a toggle button for audio 
>> description?
>>
>> For instance, I noticed PBS's documentaries did not have audio 
>> description online but did have closed captions for the deaf community. I 
>> called them up and they said I had a good point and had not gotten such a 
>> call before. They said they would look into putting description options 
>> for future streaming of that type of program.
>>
>> Anyway, we will see what happens over time.
