Additional voice for blinds???

[Photogregor]

Hi,

I downloaded a video ("Shine a light" - Rolling Stones). The video is fine, so is sound. But there is an additional voice which explains everything you see on the video. It seems to be for blind people. Any idea wether this voice could be switched off within media player or mplayer? Or did I just download the wrong version of that film (they did'nt say anything about that voice)?

Thanks in advance,
Tim

I can't tell you how to turn it off, but maybe I can tell you what it is. If the movie originated from a US source, it is called "Descriptive Video Service" or DVS. DVS is included in some TV broacasts and some DVDs so that persons with some degree of visual impairment can have a better idea of what is going on.

For US broadcasts, it is normally accessed using the "Secondary Audio Program" feature of TVs. It is turned off by default. I have not yet seen it on a DVD, so am not sure how it would be turned on, or off, in that case.
