We need to watch on DVD with CC because we are interested to learn everything in the story. We do not bother any hearing person to help us what says. If no CC, we will refuse to rent or buy DVD while they may be losing their business.

Until Closed Captioning was available on television, I was unable to watch TV. Now, we have colleges that do not caption educational videos and college libraries without any captioned VHS or DVD material. I'm shut out, again and this time, unlawfully so.

Without CC in all tv or dvd or vhs. it no use to watch or watch tv or rent dvd. Pls. keep C in all the tv, dvd or vhs all the time so the deaf can enjoy as the hearing person can hear what they are saying. Why do deaf be different-not allowed to have enjoying in their pleasures.

It is a sad thing but we have to kick butt to get some uncaring people to wake up.They may hear fine now,but deafness and hearing loss can happen to anyone,anytime and learning without close captioning they will find is a slow death.

Come on! I feel that we the Deaf are left in the dark ages! Without CC, I have no life, and I rent DVDs every week because it is my only entertainment. Keep the captions on! Do not put us on the back burner! I will be dead, also. Enough said?How about removing the Spanish-speaking? It would tick off all the Spanish-speaking people! It goes same with the Deaf if you remove the captions.Please take a moment and think about it wholeheartedly.

Producers & Video Stores should NOT be allowed to produce/sell a video if it is not captioned! This is a no brainer... CC'ed DVD's IS A MUST!!

Rick Reiss said 08/10/05, 6:28 pm (verified)
I am a strong advocate for closed caption for ALL TV programs and DVDs, video, etc. I think we should have choices to decide what we watch, when we watch, and how we watch. It seems as though the producers are deciding what programs are in closed captions. I give 100% support on this.

I must have CC for me to read and understand what they are saying. If no CC how can Deaf and Hard of Hearing people read their lips when they move around or turn around even we can't see their lips so it best to have CC!! it helps us to understand. CC helps the sound to tell Deaf and Hard of Hearing what it is the sound from that way they know it. It really worth it! Please respect us we need CC Thanks for understand Smile!

You should know better than that for not having cc on dvds. It's a big requirement for the deaf people. It's like you gotta have pen/pencil to write something on...right? Please consider that as a favor for us....thanks!

IT'S TOUGH TO IMAGINE IF OUR CC SERVICES HAD BEEN STOPPED. EVER SINCE C.C. HAD BEEN A PART OF OUR LIVES. WE WILL BE SO MISREABLE WHEN IT'S TAKEN AWAY FROM US. WHY ARE YOU GUYS THINKING ABOUT TAKING IT OUT WHILE NOT TAKING OUT SPANISH SPEAKING LANGUAGES ON DVD? IF YOU PLAN TO TAKE IT AWAY THEN U NEED TO TAKE AWAY THIERS THEN... IT'S HOW IT WORKS BOTH WAYS NOT JUST ONE WAY. THEN LEAVE IT ALONE FOR US. THE PRODUCERS AND ACTORS, ETC WHO DOES THE MOVIES MAKES MILLIONS OF DOLLARS DOING THE MOVIES. THEY CAN AFFORD TO DO THE C.C. WORK DONE ON THE DVD THEN? WE WILL RENT OR BUY THE DVD IF IT HAS C.C. THEN YOU GET MONEY BACK TO YOU THEN?

I couldn't believe those recently released movies on DVDs were not captioned. It felt like a step back when we had to rent those new movies on a VHS instead. CC is essential to the deaf and hard of hearing people.

I think that CC is good for the deaf, hard of hearing, and the hearing people ( if they want to. ) If there was no such thing as CC for the HOH and the deaf, then only the hearing people would be able to REALLY understand what is going on but for the HOH and the deaf it is like a game of charades! SO PLEASE KEEP CC!!!!!!!!!!

All DVDs should have closed captioning (CC). It is unfair that a group of American citizens are prevented from the enjoyment and education provided by these movies and documentaries when it would be so easy to include them with the closed captioning technology. Not only Deaf and hard of hearing people benefit from CC, it is also a great help for people learning to read and can help all of us in the situation where the speaker/actor is hard to understand because of speech problems, foreign accents or a soft voice. As our population ages there will be more of us with age related hearing problems. The younger portion of our population is working on their own self-induced hearing loss through the use of loud boomboxes. We need the CC to be universally available NOW.
