The Deaf deserve the right to enjoy entertainment as well as the hearing. Captioning has made that possible. Please do not take this away for the Deaf. To hear their laughter and see their enjoyment is very special. I may be hearing but I want this for them too so we can enjoy movies together. Thank you!! Melody Dugan Glenrock, Wyoming

when i was a child, i always bugged my family with questions about the shows or movies we watched. it was so frustating not being able to understand why my family laughed and i dont. its not fair when my family understood what the story was about and say "ah, that explains it!" and i am thinking "what happened?" when we finally got c.c on our tv, i was thrilled and never bothered my family anymore becuz i UNDERSTOOD why they laughed, what the story was about. its very important to keep c.c on. what happens if YOU become deaf? how will u enjoy watching movies???

I am annoyed by captions when I don't want them, but the technology to switch captioning on and off on DVDs is, I believe, fairly inexpensive now. If not, mass production will drop the cost.

The deaf need CC to be able to understand all things said on TV and in Movies. It would be ridiculous to take this away from them! CC should be standard on ALL programs and DVD's. I am not deaf but I support having Closed Captioning for the deaf.

It is very important and would do greatly for all of us to have CC as Educations to keep on reading on tv. Also if anyone not want CC they can turn it off by using remote and its very reliable for many deaf and other like Foreign languages too. Please keep this CC on and it is very fair to all of us to have it since Hearing people can hear everthing while Deaf don't so think about it. Would be very much appreicate. thank u very much. good day.

We are completely at a loss without captioning on DVD movies. We felt that we are deeply offended compared to most video movies (newest, current, and old movies). We expected DVD to come with captioned as most currently technolgy for the Deaf and Hard of Hearing. Sigh! Here is another voice from me! Thanks!

Doesn't make sense to have them not to have DVD captioned anymore. We always buy those dvds and we expect it to be CC. If they eliminate CC then you should eliminate the sound from dvd too. Makes it fair to the hearing and theyll understand how we all deafies feel. Please keep CC..we depend on it.

Sarah Roebuck said 06/10/05, 12:44 am (verified)
Please keep on showing CC on DVDs. What if they took away voice and leave you with nothing to hear . . . you wouldn't want that to happen, would you? C'mon, let's keep CC as it is virtually important to us deaf people.

I would appreciate it if all companies should provide closed captions on DVDs, and transfer VHS to DVD for personal favorite shows. i.e. Using a video converter on your computer to transfer a VHS tape to DVD does not work for captions. Also, the captions should be provided in education for us to watch such as learning how to use softwares (Adobe & Macromedia programs), nature, and learning stuff on DVDs from a library.

As a Sign Language Interpreter, I can't emphasize enough the importance of Closed Captioning for the Deaf. But I also want to point out that Captioning is also important to others too. I am a hearing person with a some neural damage that makes it hard for me to always understand what is being said. I am an avid TV & movie fan who depends on the Closed Captions for clarification.
