I also have one US DVD that does not feature subtitles but at least it has Closed Captions. Why ?
I am not a native speaker but sometimes at night when I have to lower the volume so I do not disturb the neighbours subtitles are really useful. Of course, my listening comprehension is not as good as with my mother tongues German and Polish but nonetheless I find that intolerable and incomprehensible.
I have always liked US LDs carrying Closed Captions. I find them extremely useful, especially for my wife who can then follow the story more easily. Even my Janet Jackson music LD has CC during some of the songs ! Now that is cool ! Hi Marcin, I couldn't agree with you more, for precisely the reason you mentioned! Well stated, my friend! I'm not hearing impaired, but I have used them many times in the past for just that purpose. I often find them useful for translating unintelligible lines of dialog, and sometimes soundtrack song lyrics by singers who slur their words! I really hate that , and the captioning can be very handy to deal with such situations. I love discs with closed captioning! By the way, it's good to see your name on a few posts here! Nice to know that you're still with us on The Forum! Take care, my friend! Best Regards, David
