US online movie service uses remote DVD technology with support for captions
Zediva has an interesting approach in that it has a data centre in California that has hundreds of DVD players set up like an automated jukebox. When you ‘rent’ a movie from Zediva, you are actually renting the DVD player with the movie loaded.
You can access various features such as closed captioning, subtitles, director’s commentary and languages if included on the DVD. It is not yet understood if this includes audio description, which is usually a special feature not currently enabled by Zediva.
