Betreff: Re: [Videolib] Almanya: Willkommen in Deutschland DVD / Subtitles in German?
Thanks, Lori! One of the three players that I tried in this case was a computer drive -- just like with the standalone players, there are options to select either German or Turkish subtitles... But nothing happens when those options are selected :( . -- Meghann
Hi Meghann,
I’ve had this situation happen before and sometimes have found the solution to be putting the disc in the computer drive, going into the settings and seeing if you can turn on the subtitles (and captions) that way. Then it will play in the dvd player with the subtitles. This is only if the dvd actually has subtitles but if there really aren’t subtitles, then it won’t work!
Good luck!

Subject: [Videolib] Almanya: Willkommen in Deutschland DVD / Subtitles in German?
Hello All,
Hoping one of you might be able to help me out with a Friday puzzle. We recently purchased this DVD for one of our German professors:
Almanya : Willkommen in Deutschland
The Amazon record AND the WorldCat record both indicate that there are German and Turkish subtitles available on this disc. We have not been able to get either of those subtitle tracks to work. (Using the subtitle button on our remotes allows us to select either subtitle option, but nothing shows up on the screen unless the characters are speaking in Turkish -- then the German subtitles appear.)
We've tried it in three separate region-free players, but no go. If any of you have this DVD in your collection and would be able to verify for me whether it does or does not have subtitles, I'd be very appreciative. (Trying to decide whether we've ended up with a defective one / if sending it back for another copy is worth our time.)
Thanks in advance,
