I'm Confused About iTunes Movies and Audio Description

Ok, I'll try to be as clear about this as I can, but I'm a bit mixed up. Many DVDs nowadays have an optional audio description track, which is in the dVD menu. In the iTunes store, I notice two different kinds of movies. One says DVS: for blind viewers. The other would seem to be the equivalent

Hi, I believe that at this point in the iTunes Movie evolution, audio description is not separated out. Therefore, you either purchase a DVS copy or a standard copy of the title. The problem here is that the movie will always play with the audio description, which for me is no big deal, but

Don't get your hopes up; there are only a few DVS movies that are specifically labeled that way. My confusion comes in with commercially-available movies that already have the audio track on the dVD. Are rentals different from purchases for DVDs? Are iTunes movies not equipped with the DVS

This is a guess, based on using DVDs with a real machine and a real television...my personal preference when not going to the theater. Depending on the film in question, there is a complete fortunately blended together edition of the film with the audio description. Speaking only for myself,

It depends on what the producers will let iTunes have access too. The separate audio track is usually another language, but, could just as easily be DVS. There can be as many or as few extra audio tracks as the producer will allow. Just like on the DVD. The audio commentary, the DVS track,
