Help! I want to watch the Firefly episodes with the commentaries, but I don’t find any option on the DVDs. Am I missing something? I tried both “Serenity” and “Shindig”.

When you can't walk, you crawl, and when you can't do that, you find someone to carry you...

It's under the audio settings. Not all episodes have them but both Serenity and Shindig do.

I don't show an "Audio" option on the front menu and the "Language and Audio" menu doesn't show it either. Is it possible there are two versions of the Firefly DVDs?

Sorry It is Language and Audio it should be the last option before Subtitles.

Here is what I'm looking at under language selection on the episode Serenity:

Language and audio:
-English Dolby Surround
-French Dolby Surround
-Spansh Dolby Surround

-Commentary by executive
--produce Joss Whedon
--and Actor Nathan Fillion

Subtitles
-English
-Spanish
-off

Main Menu Play Episode

-

If you are not seeing that then there must be more than one version of the DVDs, even though I have never heard of such a thing.

Or you have too much time on your hands and played with those pictures in Photoshop.

Although, if you really do have Chinese subtitles I would really (really) appreciate you ripping them to .sup (or any other subtitle format) files and sending them my way. That way the missus can enjoy the show a little easier.

Oh wow. The characters are in simplified script, but it's better than translating from the English, and I bet I could convert them to traditional with some work...

Where did you get these discs from? The text for the subtitle choice is not the same as the rest of the text.
And would you be willing to help me extract these subtitles? My email address is my username above, at yahoo.com In return I'd help you get the commentary track.

It's been a while, but I think I got them on eBay from a guy in the Phllipines...Might explain the missing commentary and the chinese!

I got frustrated and bought a new copy of Firefly (I took one for the cause!) This version HAS the commentary (I'm listening to Josh and Nathan now).

I'll help you if I can!

Extreme method, but it works! :)

Please send me an email (address in message above), and I'll teach you how to rip the subtitle files.

Thanks!

You might also want to try the audio button on you DVD remote. Start the Episode you want to hear the commentary for then press the audio button until you hear the commentary track (usually the last on before going back to the starting english lang track. Some DVD players this does not work for but it does for most. Good luck.

Where did you get these DVD's?

I ask becuase I have a few seasons of 24 which I purchased through ebay from a wholesaler in China, but still play in a region 1 player. The episodes are all the same as the US versions, as are the special features, but the commentaries are missing, there are Chinese subtitles (unlike the US version) that come on automatically (but can be turned off), and the packaging is different (a red-velvet lined box with the disks in a flimsy plastic wallet).

Since I'm not all that interested in the commentaries on 24, and since I got seasons 1-3 for $28, I thought it was worth it.
