well as for having a say about this, one might simply by saying thanks.
Sony pictures, Universal Pictures, and Disney are committed to making sure
the description track is included in their films available for purchase.
It can be hit & miss with others yes. One reason why I personally make an
effort to see them in the theatre.
Still, if you are say on social media, why not post on the Facebook or
twitter presence for the film a note expressing our thanks that you could
enjoy it with description, and desire to buy a copy that way as well?
A draw more flies with honey sort of solution.

Okay. To your first question. Yes, the rental version will contain the audio
descriptive track. To your second question. Not necessarily. Whether or not
a movie will have audio description will depend strictly on whether or not the
producers give iTunes or Comcast or Netflix or whom ever the files for the
descriptive version. That's not a choice of the providers, rather, that's a
choice of the producers. We as customers seem to have no say in the matter at
all.

Hello All,
I am posting this question to both the V iPhone and Mac Visionaries mailing
list.
My primary question:
Is the audio description track included when renting a movie from iTunes? or
must one purchase the movie in order to receive the audio description track.
My secondary question:
If a movie debuted with an audio description track in the theater, does it
follow that the movie will include that track in the iTunes store version of
the movie?
Here's my situation:
Last summer I saw the movie entitled "Edge of Tomorrow", in the theater,
complete with audio description. To me, it was a fabulous movie. Just so
you know, the film is now marketed and sold under the title, "Live die
Repeat".
A couple of days ago, a sighted friend of mine rented Live die Repeat, from
the iTunes Store. She watched it on her iPad. Even though many titles, in
the iTunes Store, are not listed as having audio description, I was hoping
that, like so many others, given that the film was released with audio
description in the theater, the track would be included on the download.
According to her, she could not hear any audio description despite having
the settings on her iPad configured correctly.
I should probably add that, to my dismay, I discovered that the DVD copy of
this title, I purchased when it was first made available, did not include
the audio description track, either.
I would so much like to enjoy this movie again but I fear, that, unless I
can locate a version that includes the audio description track, I will not
be able to relive the experience of "Edge of Tomorrow".
All replies most welcomed.
Mark
