> Great news to share:
>> Universal Pictures Home Entertainment has joined Sony Pictures by
>> committing
>> to release the Descriptive Video Service(r) (DVS(r)) track created for
>> theatrical release of films on the DVD and Blu-Ray versions of those
>> films.
>> The Media Access Group at WGBH, which creates both the closed captioning
>> and
>> DVS via our Motion Picture Access (MoPix) effort, is most grateful to
>> Universal for this major step forward. The excitement among description
>> fans
>> generated by the Sony announcement just a few weeks ago will no doubt be
>> echoed by the latest good news. Any comments and feedback we receive are
>> shared with these studios (so hit reply and send us a note!), and will
>> also
>> be used to convince additional studios' home entertainment divisions to
>> get
>> on board the DVS on DVD train (and beyond this, to online
>> streaming/downloading).
>>
>> More about DVS can be found at this page of our site:

>>
>> Here now is a list of DVD and Blu-Ray titles that will include DVS as an
>> option. Additional DVD and Blu-Ray titles and release dates will be 
>> shared
>> when we learn them. We understand the DVD packages will have indicate
>> availability of DVS, though the print on DVD packages tends to be
>> microscopic.  We'll be confirming that the DVS track is on each disk, and
>> will update our DVS on DVD Web site accordingly.
