Hi John Unfortunately it is still not a requirement that films / TV programmes are audio described. You can read a bit more about AD at: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Audio_description In short, AD is typically provided in a separate track, so technically you should be able to extract this track, although you would obviously have to then make sure both the DVD your family watches, and the audio track you have extracted start at precisely the same time. However, you would then be left listening to the AD through headphones, and the actual audio from the TV everyone else is watch, which I suspect would be an unsatisfactory experience for you. I'm sure you could extract the actual audio track and then mix this with the AD track but this is then getting awkward. Cinemas use hardware solutions which enable them to play the film to the main screen / audio, while sending the AD track wirelessly to anyone wearing headphones in the audience, but I suspect these solutions would be expensive for domestic use. The RNIB conducted a trial of an app which was supposed to address this issue in 2015 but not sure whether this service is available or not yet. I can see plenty of issues with this approach and don't feel it's viable in the long term, but may be could provide a fix for a limited number of films / shows in the short term until more effective solutions are available. You can read the overview at: https://www.huffingtonpost.co.uk/2015/03/19/game-of-thrones-vod-application-... One final suggestion, why not ask your family whether they would mind watching the film with AD turned on, rather than just assuming they wouldn't want to watch it with AD? It would be a far more inclusive experience and you never know they may actually enjoy it as my family does. I'm not going to say it's perfect as there are times when the AD describes what is happening just before it actually happens on screen, but that doesn't happen that often. It can also be quite amusing. They've also shown that AD can actually improve literacy skills for children, and based on some of the descriptions I hear, that doesn't surprise me. I'm sure your family would be happy to give it a try. Cheers Ian DISCLAIMER: NOTICE: The information contained in this email and any attachments is confidential and may be privileged.
