How does blind mice movie vault get all their audio description tracks? (self.Blind)

It is very frustrating that the most reliable way to get audio description tracks is to redistribute rips. On the other hand the nearly complete indifference of the television and movie industry to provide them consistently across all delivery platforms is problematic. When platforms like CBS "All Access" fail to provide audio description tracks for content that included them when broadcast it makes me extremely angry, angry enough to forgive people who choose to get the content from non-official sources.

They steal all of the tracks, ripping them from DVD's and blue-rays and streaming services.

A company could totally make a service for audio description tracks and legitimately and legally make partnerships with movie and TV production companies and distributors.

Yes! I was the PR manager for TalkingFlix, a company aiming to do that very thing. If you want to see what could have been, look up crossway media productions. TalkingFlix.

Haven’t looked it up yet but why didn’t it work out?

David told me that the companies did not even know how to negotiate the audio only portion of mixed tracks, so we kept running into road blocks and the like. He sat on far more of these meetings than I did, but I imagine it was also part of the same reason why tell me TV, formerly, Zagga TV, did not work out also. When David, the CEO, started asking for these audio tracks, Netflix became accessible, and, well, no blind person wanted TalkingFlix anyway because they had blind mice and also, Sero. System access. That stunk, because we were trying to be a legal version of Sero and blind Mice. If I can find anybody that has the tech skills and the business skills to try this company again, I'd still totally do PR for them again.

They are ripping the tracks from dvds, blurays, and streaming services.

My sources for audio description are sometimes the tv shows that we get on Cogeco come with description usually from service called Audio Eyes and ViTech.

I love Netflix because it has described captioning for most of its content.

please visit www.audiovault.net has most if not all of the same stuff as blind mice movie vault.
