Hi list, Not sure in the US, but any legit DVD in the UK would have audio description, all Harry Potter films are done by Di Langford.
Please try the following: 1. Download and install VLC Player http://www.downloadster.org/vlc.php?option=z&catid=&kw=vcl+media+player&; custr=VCL+media+player&lptype=3&mkwid=shcaeV8Hs&aid=&met=b&cust=VCL+medi a+player_AD_www.google.co.uk_&channel=&subid=DSTVLUK_aIE&roia=%21j4A4vq1 BAAKLOkMAAAltVQAAbPdCAABx7Q-A 2. insert your DVD 3. Play your DVD in VLC 4. make sure the movie is playing. 5. Go to the Audio menus 6. I think it's the first or second option on the audio menu, where you can select different audios. I will re-e-mail the list again when I find it as the computer I am sending this does not have VLC, unless someone sends it before me. Hope I helped. Alex PS: Harry Potter 7 part 2 was great!
