Resource<BR></FONT><BR><FONT face=Verdana>I'm not sure if you saw this
announcement yet, in case you didn't, here it is. We've been asked since
the DVS Home Video effort ended for a one-stop resource for locating described
movies on DVD, and so now we've made one. Please share far and wide as
you see fit.<BR><BR>Best,<BR>Mary<BR>***<BR><BR>WGBH's Media Access Group,
home to the Descriptive Video Service (DVS®) has debuted two new online
resources today for fans of described movies. Both can be reached via a
new, easy-to-remember Web site address: <A
href="http://www.describedmovies.org/"
eudora="autourl">www.describedmovies.org</A><BR><BR>1. DVS on DVD<BR>This page
of our site has been updated to enable description fans to learn about
mainstream DVD and Blu-ray discs that are available with audio description,
and provides a Amazon click through option which takes you directly to the
page of amazon.com to order the disc. The DVD and Blu-ray discs listed on the
page are available wherever discs are sold (online and in stores), however
clicking through our site to purchase your movies will provide the Media
Access Group with a small percentage of the sales revenue, and helps support
our efforts. <BR><BR>(The hit comedy It's Complicated from Universal Pictures
Home Entertainment, starring Meryl Streep, Alec Baldwin and Steve Martin is
the most recent movie released on DVD and Blu-ray with description.)<BR><BR>2.
Full List of DVS Movies<BR>This page lists every movie we've described for
television, cable, DVS Home Video and DVS Theatrical (for movie theaters)
since DVS debuted as a service in 1990. We're at nearly 800 films!
The list is sortable by movie title or distributor (the company for which we
originally described the film). Ask for described versions of movies from your
television, cable or satellite provider, from movies by mail services and from
Web sites which offer streaming or downloadable movies.<BR><BR>As always, <A
href="http://www.mopix.org/" eudora="autourl">www.mopix.org</A> takes you to
information about movies offered with description in theaters equipped with
Motion Picture Access systems. And try <A
href="http://www.captionfish.com/" eudora="autourl">www.captionfish.com</A>
you can type in your zip code, set the search filter for DVS and find
the equipped theaters, described movies and accessible showtimes near
you.<BR><BR>We like hearing from you, so please let us know what you think,
and if you have suggestions for making our pages more helpful.<BR><BR>Thank
you.<BR><BR>The Media Access Group at WGBH<BR>Boston – Los
