  Some DVDs put the subtitles below the transferred frame of the film, others include them within the frame...those that are within the frame will respond well to the zoom or smart stretch modes on widescreen tvs...those that put them below the transferred frame will not. Some TVs even have a zoom/subtitle mode which permits all but three-line subtitles to be viewed in a zoomed mode.

    Thanks, Clark. My old analog widescreen Toshiba had that scroll feature but my current SONY widescreen does not. Funny, I do have other DVDs with the subtitles below but I can see the subtitles (of course, maybe those are anamporphic, I forget). Anyway, wionderful films, both. I remember eveyone renting the initial VHS release of JDF not knowing that you needed to see MOTS to complete the story and then finding that MOTS was rented out!

      They also served draft beer, so naturally I have pleasant memories, but the movie was so good, so gripping, that after it was over I turned to the stranger sitting nex to me and remarked, "Now *that* was a movie!" "Ah, oui!" he replied. "Bien sur!"

• I'm no expert, but using the television's closed-captioning function might work in lieu of the DVD subtitles. (nt) - Bersani 14:57:35 07/17/06 (2)

    Thanks, I'll try that but I think that the closed captioning is limited to broadcast or cable TV programs.

    • No, it really does work, it's just that you might get foreign language captioning which obviously won't help. (nt) - Bersani 12:30:16 07/18/06 (0)
