Closed Captioning is very important for Deaf and Hard of Hearing community. We understand the movies much better with CC. My hearing children read them too. Subtitle doesn't always show the background sound and hard to see those letters on bright background. Please continue the close-captioning on all DVDs and VHS. Thank you

Please sign this petition to add captions to DVD movies. I thought it was required to add captions to ALL video media for disability access. It's a shame that companies making DVD's have reneged on the commitment to individuals with hearing loss.

I am disappointed that many DVD's are not closed captioned. I am also disappointed that many children prgms like Leap Frog, Care Bears, and so on are not closed captioned. I hope that the co's will change that and make all the DVD's closed caption so Deaf people like myself can enjoy more movies on DVD. Also not only does closed caption help Deaf people it helps with learning English. So let's not take away that oppertunity to learn English while watching DVD movies.

Rolanda Patton said 06/12/05, 4:31 pm (verified)
When everything is CC, the more $$$ is made by all. The movie producers are happy because more are sold. The tv producers are happy because more tv is being watched. So they can sell more commercial time. The commercial people are happy because their product is shared with more people who in turn go buy the product that is advertised. In the end, everyone is happy CC users get the info and buy more...

I am a hearing person with Deaf family members. I myself have relied on closed caption and will not purchase any type of movie without CC. The Deaf Community have a right just like hearing people to enjoy and understand entertainment. WHY should this even be an issue, it is common sense and can only benefit both parties.

Shame on ALL of the people who have the control to offer this service and do not. This should not even be an issue. There is such a thing as a Communication Bill of Rights!!!! "All persons, regardless of the extent or severity of their disabilities, have a BASIC right..." This includes watching television and movies and knowing what is being said. Do these companies realize that Deaf people spend money too!!! This is not the 18th century any longer. Deaf people are people too, give them closed captioning!!
