davywavyAs far as I can make out, the first release Two Towers Special Edition DVD has a fault on it; at least four copies bought and supplied seperately have the same problem, whcih doesn't bode well for New Line.
The fault is in the commentaries section as it appears that no matter how much you fiddle about with the various settings (commentaries/audio/subtitles/etc), you simply cannot get the commentaries and the subtitles which tell you who is actually speaking on at the same time. So, for example, you can listen to someone talking ("Gor, blimey, Guv'nor, it was wickeeeed bein' an elf, like, wickeeeed, an' stuff and cool. Yo. Wickeeeed. Look at me 'air."), but you can't be sure it is Orlando Bloom. Or alternatively you can know that Orlando Bloom should be talking, but you can't hear a word he says (perhaps the preferable option).
Okay, so it's a bit obsessive-geeky, but it's a techy problem that the sort of geeks (such as myself) who like watching all the extra features will pick up on.
Has anyone else found this to be the case on their disks? I know several people who have.
