Ghost in the Shell 2 Closed Captioned, Not Subtitled?
The DVD release of Ghost in the Shell 2: Innocence appears to be closed captioned, rather than subtitled. Character names appear before lines spoken and sound effects are included on the track. So far, only DVD Talk has been able to get a response from Dreamworks:
Thank you for contacting us. Universal Studios Home Entertainment and Dreamworks Home Entertainment strive to provide the highest standard of product and customer care.
The ‘Ghost in the Shell 2: Innocence’ DVD contains two English captions/subtitle tracks. The first translates the Japanese dialogue, which is heard on the main audio track. The second track is a transcription of the optional audio commentary by Director Mamoru Oshii and Animation Director Toshihko Nishikubo.
Our DVD products are captioned in English using Subtitles for the Hearing Impaired, (SDH). This ensures compatibility with all DVD players and TVs. Many older model DVD players are unable to output the Closed Captioning signal, and the majority of TVs manufactured before 1994 did not have Closed Captioning decoders built-in.
We appreciate your patronage and hope that you will continue to enjoy Dreamworks and Universal products.
Sincerely,
Universal Studios Home Entertainment
