Twin Peaks - The Series

[Wolverine]

Hello,

Can anyone tell me if the Twin Peaks box-set will include subtitles?

Thanks.

Regards, Wolverine

Sure it will, everything has subtitles or closed captions at least.
Well, out of my 540+ discs only 2 don't, and they are very very very old from little indepedent companies.

Most French DVDs don't though:so there must be no deaf people in France :rolleyes:.

Hi,

Thanks for answering.


Lenny Nero ,

Are you sure? I have a few dvds that don't have them. Although i consider my English to be pretty good (considering that it's not my natural language), sometimes i have trouble understanding what's being said, usually in noisy scenes.

By the way, can anyone explain me how to call-up (if that's the correct term) the close-captioned subtitles on a dvd? I read somewhere that the R1 box-set of the Sopranos has them, but i don't know how to display them. I also heard that not all televisions are able to display close-captions. Is this true?

It would help me a lot if i could watch the Sopranos with subtitles.

Regarding Twin Peaks, i have a feeling that there won't be any subtitles or close-captions.

By the way, does Artisan release or licence their products to R2? If so, what are the chances of Twin Peaks being released here?

Once again, thanks for the answers.

Stay well...:)

Yes it depends on your TV, as you turn the closed captions on using the TV remote. Mine has 4 closed captions options for various type of signals I guess, but I never used the other 3 as everything works on the first option. You usually turn them on with a button Display, which cycles through some things, like Time, Channel Name, something else and Closed Captions. You might need to turn them on in some menu if you have one, but most new TVs do and support them.
Don't know about licencing though.

I thought that was true for VHS tapes but not so for DVDs (may be wrong though). As for getting them to wrok on DVDs, it depends on your setup: usually you'll have a menu in the DVD itself to select them from - if not you should be able to do it from your remote control... (a button with a square and ... in it)

I hope you're wrong! ;) honestly, I think it's a 90% chance of getting subtitles. As for the Artisan question, well I think it's them that have been licencesed to distribute (am I correct?) and another company has the licence to distribute in the UK. a problem with TP is that the pilot is not owned by the same people as the series... Bummer!:( so the boxset does not contain it!

What we can't be sure about is whether the r2 release will have the same features as the r1... we may have more (pigs will fly!) or less or the same...

Perfecta, Subtitles is an encoded track on a DVD that is generated and displayed by a DVD player, while closed captions are generated by the TV, they appear as white letters on big black bars as a background, you know.:D

oh well:rolleyes: luckily I said I may be wrong.
So for the record are there CCs on DVDs? That means
you can't access them normally? correct?
