The whole point of this thread is trying to get DVD makers to add an option for viewers to select solid or transparent background CC. Also, it would be nice if changing font size was available.

I am sure everyone else prefers high quality pictures like High Definition as long as there is some kind of subtitles available so that all deaf people can understand. CC is always number one priorty for deaf people regardless of quality of pictures. If I had eye sight problem and cannot read CC with transparent background or if the font size is wrong, I would complain and look for alternative.

Excellent point made. This is something that may be workable in the future with high-definition titles where people are able to manipulate the look of the subtitles. This should be possible with BD-Java on Blu-ray disc. I should mention it to an Sony insider I know at a forum.
