BitTorrent to Launch Movie, TV Downloads
posted in Captioning, General, Technology, deaf culture |One time about 2 years ago, I forgot to set up a VCR taping of the “Amazing Race” second to last episode to find out who was eliminated. The only place to find the episode was on BitTorrent. I managed to download the show (really huge file!) and watch it on my PC. Only one problem. It wasn’t captioned or subtitled. I guess the person who was gracious enough to upload the show was either hearing or there’s really no simple way to burn CC on the shows.
Fast forward to today:
BitTorrent to Launch Movie, TV Downloads
So when I see this news making the big splash today, I just had to write to BitTorrent to inquire if the movies and television shows will be closed-captioned or subtitle. I’ll keep you posted if they replied to me.
If anyone else has the inside scoop please spill it out in the comments.
Update: As soon as I submitted the email, I got an instant notification that someone is going to read my email. A minute later, I got another notice that the matter is solved and is now closed. I guess is that there’s no closed-captioning or subtitle available. I will neither spend my time nor $$ to test it out.
