That is cool. How often will RNID will visit LoveFilm? If they did 68 DVD in one day visit so I reckon to do check 40,000 DVD currently available would take 588 visit! Can do all in 2 years every day! Or do reach 1,000 DVD on each visit will only take 40 visits! Think in 40 days - we will be out of things to do!!!

Hello,
The RNID have been in touch for a while as they are running a campaign to improve subtitles on TV and DVD. They are using dvd-subtitles.com as a source of statistics on subtitled DVDs, and they are also promoting dvd-subtitles.com as the major source of information on subtitled DVDs, which is good for us and it also adds credibility to their campaign.
I have a good relationship with online rental company LoveFilm.com and I have access to LoveFilm's warehouse in Peterborough. I can go there any time to check DVD titles. Unfortunately as I have a full-time career, I simply don't have the time to do so. The RNID stepped in and have offered to visit the warehouse from time to time on on my behalf.
The RNID's first visit to the LoveFilm warehouse was last week, and I have just been entering the information they collected on 68 DVDs across a variety of categories. I asked them particularly to check DVDs in categories that we seem to be lacking information on - including sports, music & special interest. Not surprisingly most of these turned out to be not subtitled, but there were a few pleasant surprises.
You can browse through the titles rated by the RNID in the comments history page.
Cheers,
mat
