Described Movies With video (self.Blind)
submitted by Nighthawk321
So probably like many of you, I download and watch described movie from blind mice. My friend and I were going to watch all of the Starwars movies, but she's not blind and therefore needs the video. Is there way I can obtain described movies that aren't just audio? Thanks.

Unfortunately, no. Some dvds and bluerays have described audio tracks. And there are some described movies on Netflix and Amazon Prime. But that's pretty much it.

Nod, figured. Shame.

iTunes has a pretty good selection of movies with descriptive audio including all the Star Wars titles.

Do you have to get the membership thing to even be able to download anything on Blind Mice? I keep trying and it tells me the download failed because it can only download a certain amount in X amount of hours.

You need to have an account with blind mice to actually access the movie vault. However, when it comes to downloading the movies, that is done through Senspace. If you don't have an account with Senspace, you can only download a certain amount of movies each day at a certain speed. If you pay for a Senspace account, you can download as many as you want at much faster speeds. I just stick to the free account because I don't download movies every day.

Yeah. I already have a Blind Mice account, but I couldn't download anything and getting a SendSpace acount promised faster speeds but I don't feel like paying.

Walk me through what happens when you try downloading something?

Use a combination of DVD's, Amazon Prime videos, and Itunes, but no, there is not a website like that. Zagga TV is an option, but not like the free things you want.

Oh that's a shame. iTunes has described content?
rkingett 1 points 5y ago
Yes Itunes has described movies. No TV shows though.

iTunes is getting better about described movies all the time. Wish they would step it up with TV content but that's probably out of their control.
I know it's cool that the Blind Mice stuff is free, but morally speaking you're technically stealing from the people making the movies when. you download from there. If you guys really want more described content, pay for the stuff that's available now, otherwise how will the creators recognize a market for described videos? Just my input.
