Okay this is frustrating.
for my combined birthday and Christmas last year, my parents bought me game of thrones on dvd.
When I've watched with my brother, or indeed on tv, it's had audio description tracks available. Yet I look on VLC media player, and in the audio tracks there is no option.
There is a second English track, but that seems to be a director's commentary.
I tried messing about with the subtitle options when you stick a disk in, but couldn't find anything that works.
So either A, I have some how been really unlucky and not! got the game of thrones on dvd with the audio description, or B, it has audio description, but for some reason it's not appearing in VlC media player's audio menu.
I'm just checking to make sure there isn't another way of activating audio description that I haven't seen, since of course all the actual dvd menus including options are inaccessible.
If not, that will be a pain.
I do happen to have a basic mp3 audio track of the description, but trying to sinc that to start at the same time I start the episode on dvd so that I get both the pictures and the description is proving rather difficult, indeed part of the reason I got the series on dvd is that I can make the most out of watching what I can watch, and get the description to fill in the gaps.
If I've been sold a lemon description wise it's not terrible, it just means I'll be watching the series twice, first with the pictures, then with the audio description, but obviously I'd prefer to avoid having to do that if I can.
