Thanks, guys, for all your help. I did download the trial copy of Extractor before I wrote to the list. Strangely, it doesn't seem to even see my dvd, but that's something weird I must be doing. I shall keep working with your instructions about how to access the audio description because I do want to know how to do this for futre dvd's I might rent or purchase.
Y'all have a great week!

How you find and select the audio description track fully depends on the software you're using and how you want to watch it. For instance, if you wish to rip the AD track into a standard audio format and store it on your computer, you might use DVD Audio Extractor, in which case you would choose "English for Visually Impaired" as the language before ripping. If you just want to watch the film straight from the DVD itself on a computer, you'll need software to play it. Windows Media Player and PowerDVD spring to mind, however the number of software applications available to play DVD's is so vast that you would need to choose one that you liked, and then someone could help with language selection to enable audio description. Chances are that this process would be accessible, but as I say there are too many different applications to give clear instructions on just one. If you want to watch the film with AD on your DVD player, some people will tell you to select the appropriate option in the DVD's inaccessible menu system. However, all you have to do is simply start playing the film (usually the very top option on a dVD's menu) and press the "audio" or "audio language" button on your DVD player's remote control until you hear audio description.
