Apple Includes Closed Captioning in iTunes Movie DOwnloads

20 February, 2008 @ 2:24 pm by Lioncourt

iPods, QuickTime, and iTunes include support for Closed Captioning for the deaf and hearing impaired. Apple has expanded that to include AppleTV, and now offers movies from the iTunes Store which include Closed Captioning in the video file. Not all movies area available this way yet, but Apple is working with movie studios to add more as quickly as possible. So far, the list of movies is as follows:

  • Abandon
  • Bratz: Genie Magic
  • Charlotte’s Web
  • Clock Stoppers
  • Domestic Disturbance
  • Down to Earth
  • Dragon Slayer
  • Hey Arnold! The Movie
  • I’ll Sleep When I’m Dead
  • Jimmy Neutron: Boy Genius
  • Marci X
  • Orange County
  • Pootie Tang
  • The Four Feathers
  • The Ghost and the Darkness
  • The Italian Job
  • The Little Prince
  • The Parallax View
  • The Presidio
  • The Shootist
  • The Singing Detective

Check iTunes for more titles. Titles that include Closed Captioning are labeled with "CC".

    Here are some others:
    • Braveheart
    • Stardust
    • Enchanted

    Apple/Movie Studios/TV Studios are still doing a poor job in getting newer movies/TV shows to include CC. When you consider that all TV shows and Movies on DVD have Closed Captioning / Subtitles as an option, the lack of CC pervasiveness is inexcusable.
