Comments on: Captioning: Bonus Feature or Required? http://www.houstondeafnetwork.com/articles/blogs/captioning-bonus-feature-or-required/ Community Resources for Deaf and Hard of Hearing in Houston Thu, 22 Jul 2010 21:24:54 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.0 By: codeman38 http://www.houstondeafnetwork.com/articles/blogs/captioning-bonus-feature-or-required/comment-page-1/#comment-394 codeman38 Fri, 20 Nov 2009 07:42:12 +0000 http://www.houstondeafnetwork.com/?p=14110#comment-394 As for checking the disc details? Originally (when I added it to my queue) Netflix claimed that the DVD included subtitles; this was only fixed last week. And at Blockbuster, the DVD case had the 'SDH' icon indicating that subtitles are on the disc, and mentioned bonus shorts as well-- but neither of those were anywhere to be found. And I can think of one scenario where it actually *could* have been a manufacturing error: that Disney had intended to send a version of the disc without the two bonus shorts to rental places, but meant to still include captioning on that version. Still horrible quality control, at any rate, and it should've been caught *somewhere* in the process-- it still reeks of a covering-one's-rear excuse. As for checking the disc details?
