Hi.
My first post here (sort of as did use this forum before but had to register again due to lost password...).
I just thought I would mention that I am now in possession of the new Casino Royale DVD set (the 2-disc collectors edition DVD) and though I have yet to watch it, but I discovered when checking out the menu, for the first time, that the subtitles option shows the terms English and English SDH amongst others.
This is the first time I have seen the term 'SDH' on a DVD as it is something I have always believed should be the standard term to define the subtitles for the Deaf & hard of hearing (hence SDH) rather than the more annoying '...for the hearing impaired', '...hard of hearing' and simply 'English' (where it could include the sound captions as well).
The second disc, containing the extras, also has the subtitles option which is very rare in several multi-disc sets. I also checked out the quality of the subtitles in the feature and they are top-notch.
Well done, MGM & Columbia, for showing a fine example of what several other DVD companies should be following.
