Thanks for sharing. This is a GREAT article to share with anyone who doesn't understand what ASL facial expressions are for. It gives examples from the Lydia Callis press conference interpreting to help with the explanations. also can be found here: Why Do Sign Language Interpreters Look...

Yes they knew since April and most have legal departments who are supposed to know about these things to prevent law suits or fines. Also Captioning companies have been using the new law to help sell their services.

Glad they finally added Subtitles for this. It is one of my favorite Deaf-related movies!! Lots of cameos by famous deaf actors.

Correct!! The Vampire Diaries Season 4, Episode 2 "Memorial" @ CWTV.COM Which orignally aired on CW-TV on October 18, 2012 does NOT have captions for Internet Viewing. Episode Link: http://cwtv.com/cw-video/the-vampire-diaries/memorial/?play=93330b62-6806-4ceb-b306-17c758e7e6fe This is a clear...

I looked but I couldn't see any qualifying videos that require CCs. Perhaps they were all removed since CCs arent set up yet.

Very few blu-ray players have CC functions in Netflix. Netflix (and all streaming services) use video technology much different than broadcast TV. Therefore the Caption Decoders built in to all TVs do NOT work with Internet-Streamed Video. Closed Captions (meaning they can be turned on or off...

We can agree to disagree.

also, if you want to file a formal complaint with the FCC over Internet Captioning, I have set up a blog post with links to the actual form and detailed instructions here: ncmacasl's blog: Netflix InstantWatch Subtitles: Instructions on filling out the CVAA FCC Complaint form

They do not control the internet. That is why NAD sued Netflix under the ADA making it an accommodations/Civil Rights issue, not an FCC issue.

It is all the same thing (CC, Subtitles, SDH) -- none of it works on old TV CC decoders. FCC calls it CC since it can be turned ON & OFF instead of foreign subtiltes which are often always there.

No, they are just tweaking the numbers like politicians do to make it sound like they are doing better than they are. Netflix is counting VIEWED minutes, not minutes of content. So if a 3 hour movie is never watched during the time period they do not count it. If a 2 hour movie is watched 10,000...

under FCC's CVAA law, they have started adding CCs. However, they currently only legally have to add CCs to movies and TV shows AFTER they have been on TV with captions (like HBO or Pay-Per-View) and only after they have been on TV on or after Sept 30, 2012. Older movies do not require CCs YET...

FCC's CVAA law WILL require changeable CC formats within another year or so.
