Julius Borchert said 06/05/05, 3:34 am (verified)
We need to have Closed Captioned required on all DVD movies because it's very important for all children to learn and watch CC and deaf people need to have it in order to watch movies.

Remember US Constitution clearly defines us as the People so give us the equality. With CC and sound of the dvd movies, the hearing and deaf can able to enjoy the movies. They are our most luxury to relax and enjoy at the homes.

Elizabeth Roth said 06/05/05, 3:15 am (verified)
It a must for hearing impairment. I love to watch old movies with cc. If not then I will not rent any dvd or cable or tv. I learns lot of english to improve my signs. Unfair to hearing people who can enjoy the movies, tv and cable.

It's so hard to rent or buy DVD without closed caption, it is our way of life and learning experience, it helps us to understand what's going on in the real world, why take that away from us, School dont teach everything that's why it helps us to understand and also help us in our daily life when we learn from closed caption. Dont take that away from us we need it, it's our education!!

I believe that all DVD Movies must be Close-Captioned.This will give all deaf and hard of hearing persons the ability to understand the movie and thus be able to enjoy watching it just like hearing persons do !!! Also, I believe that all of the Tv News Channels should be close-captioned in it's entirety in Real Time, even when the tv news anchors talk to another co-anchor or guest appearances. Only then will we deaf and hard of hearing will be able to understand be able to laugh when the anchors talk to each other about something funny or interesting ! All Tv Movies must be Close-Captioned as well !!!

I support closed captioning completely as it provides equal access to the deaf, hard-of-hearing and late deafened communities. Likewise, it helps people learn to read, better syntax and grammar, and be part of society at large.

As a deaf educator, I strongly support continuation of the universial captioning of DVD movies. Captioning is one of the most important means of access that deaf people have to films and television programming, and it would be disastrous for them to lose something for which so many people have fought. Beyond their entertainment value, captioned films give deaf viewers valuable added practice in reading and vocabulary development. Ceasing or cutting back on the captioning of television and film programming would be short-sighted, given the many benefits to deaf audiences versus the relatively low cost of captioning mass media.
