[nabs-l] described videos

[Valerie Gibson]

That's what we were talking about. blind mice movie vault only has their's in MP3, and I agree with the double option.  However, offering movies in .avi or .m4v etc, could infringe on copyright laws.  You'd think that having a audio version of a movie would do the same, since technically that's how we "watch" a movie anyway, but I guess it's a loophole. :)

>> Not my favorite file type, as it's not technically a movie file, but an audio file.  However I guess they're under the assumption that no sighted person is going to watch a described movie with you.
