[macvoiceover] Re: Audio only movies

I would love it. Even better, sell two versions--one with audio description, the other without. I love listening to the few ... er ... you get the idea. I've gotten good at getting the audio for movies. Not the audio description part, though.

Anyhow, if such a service were offered, and we were able to put them say on a digital player, it'd be great!

Here is an idea, it's just an idea and I don't know if the Movie industry would ever permit it. Having worked out the details of extracting only the audio form a DVD how about an audio movie service for the blind that would provide only the sound tracks of movies?

My wife, who is blind, and I go to movies all the time. I seldom provide any kind of description to her, she finds that annoying. So what do you folk think would audio only movies be of use? Would people want them?

They could be encoded as MP3 files so they would be carried onto digital players. Could we have something like Bookshare for movies soundtracks in which you would have to prove you were a patron of the library service to use it? Could we put the soundtracks into DAISY format?

Any comments out there?
