If you have got a copy of Erin Brockovich region 2 DVD, I would be grateful if you could please answer this question for me:

Does the DVD include an English subtitles track where the subtitles use the technique of closed-captions? (The text moves around the screen to match the person talking position)

I'm asking this, as I know the region 1 version does, however I would prefer to buy the region 2 DVD as I can buy it for less than a tenner!

Cheers,
Mark

I have never noticed this on a R2 disk even though we use the subtitles tracks frequently, therefore unlikely.
Usually there are either just plain subtitles or what they refer to as hard of hearing subtitles (so occasional reference to other sound effects).

There is I believe some requirement to include close captioning on US R1 disks as an increasing number now carry them even when the disk has no normal subtitles. For these you need the special decoder which has to be built into to US TVs over a certain size.

Sorry not a positive response.

The R2 version does not include close caption on the DVD. It has multiple language subtitles, but no close caption.
