Will do.

It was just an idea.

Sometimes when I've got youtube on I do something else but just listen to it. I can't sit still long enough to watch an hour long video...but I could listen to it while I'm faffing.

Plus, some people have poor eyesight.

I know and I thank you for that idea thumbsup

But I personally never liked those videos that had voice-over, instead of subtitles. It makes them seem rather messy, in my opinion.

Speaking of ideas, a relative of mine who knows the work being done here has suggested doing a version of this documentary with English subtitles for British people with hearing problems.

What do you think of this?

Still think a voice-over for people with poor eyesight too. You might think it's messy, but some people might just appreciate it.

I know of one person who told me she doesn't visit the forum anymore because she can't read it as she struggles with her sight.

I'm aware that the text on the Homepage is very small, but there's a reason for that...

It's something to consider in the future, but right now it's important to get these documentaries translated in Portuguese.

However, if such thing is done, I think there would be no need of moving pictures - just an audio file with the person speaking.

I will start translating Part 2 (Dogs Don't Lie).

No doubt this one will take longer, as it is twice as long...

That is one of the "joys" of podcasts. You can put it on, turn the volume up, and carry on doing the ironing and cleaning, and then – if you suspect you may have missed something - you can click back and listen to it again.
Some of the films are far too long except for people who already know the facts, or those who are committed to looking for details.
