John,
I have a number of descriptive movies without the video, saved in mp3
format. We can talk about the movies privately. My email is:

Subject: [Blind-sysadmins] DVS Movies to trade?
I've been starting a project to rip the sound track of the old VHS tapes I
have with DVS. DVS is an extra audio track where a voice describes what is
happening on screen. The way I've been doing it is to connect the audio out
on the VCR to the line-in on my computer (Linux). Then I use darkice to
create a stream service. Then I use streamripper to rip the sound track to
an mp3 file. It might seem like extra steps but I already have the darkice
stream set up because I use it to listen to regular TV broadcasts. Then I
also have a shell script to record a program so I can just type something
like, "startRecording GameOfThrones 60" and it will rip whatever is coming
in on the line-in for the next 60 minutes. Put it in a cron job and I can
record any time.
I am wondering if anybody else has any VHS DVS tapes they'd like to trade. I
could rip them and send you the mp3 file. The 4 movies I have right now are
these:
1. To Kill a Mockingbird
2. Saving Private Ryan
3. Star Trek: Wrath Of Khan
4. Star Trek: The Voyage Home
