Since our last report in November, at least 24 movies have been released on DVD with both closed captions and audio description. Of the 61 titles we researched, 37 were captioned (61%) and 23 described and captioned (38%).

Distributors Accent, Eagle, Jigsaw, Paramount and Pinnacle all had titles released internationally with either captions or subtitles that were not released in Region 4, a market which includes Australia, New Zealand, South America and Oceania.

Further still, hit independent movie Frances Ha was released locally by Paramount without audio description or captions, while both these features were available on its UK release.
