Hi. Yes I think most of the dvd players I have owned were part of something
else and did not have this button.
That's why I was interested in your message.
thanks I did not even know dvd players had this as a separate button.

When I said that there were no exceptions to the rule, I was referring to
the DVD's this method of enabling audio description will work with, rather
than the DVD players which have such a feature. Although, saying that,
every single DVD player I've used has had this button, or similar, on the
remote control, even the tiny DVD player I once used when traveling.
Perhaps you're correct that television/DVD player combos don't have such a
method of easily switching audio languages on the fly.

I don't believe this is a standard button on remote controls. I know
especially for tv remotes there are not many that have a language button.

First, I think you're all missing the Audio button on your DVD player
remote controls. This button, when pressed, will switch between audio
languages for every single DVD on the planet, so if the DVD has audio
description, that's how you can find it without using the menus. There
are no exceptions to this rule.
Secondly, as the audio description for the Harry Potter DVD's is
produced by a UK company (ITFC), it stands to reason that yes, you can
only purchase described copies in the United Kingdom. For a list of
DVD's available in the UK with AD, please visit:

Hope that helps.

yeah which is rediculous. You'd think that with all the other fancy
features they pack into a dvd that a talking menu system and audio
description would be fairly easy. I mean, they have closed captions
and dubbing, so why not audio description? And they used to have
talking vcrs but no talking dvd players? Or some sort of talking menu
on the dvd itself?
Ok I'm done now. But come on, it's like the talking book library when
they send me print materials about the new braille catalogue. Really?

Subject: Finding an actual DVD with audiodescription
I do appologize if this is not quite appropriate for this list, but I
don't know who else to ask. Several months ago I bought a Harry
Potter DVD that I thought would have audiodescription. It was my
(apparently wrong) understanding that all those films would have
audiodescription. Either we can't find it on the DVD or it's just not
there. I live in the U.S. and was using Amazonddcom to buy it. When I
googled Deathly Hallows Part 1 audiodescription, the first thing that
came up was from amazonddco. Does this mean you can only get the
audiodescribed version from the UK? I do have a lovely,Mp-3 copy of
this film but do want the physical DVD so that I can watch it with a
group of blind and sighted friends. So where in the world can I find
such an animal?
Thanks as always for your wonderful help.
Peace, Kathy
