I wonder if omitting all that stuff would reduce the price. It would give us better encodes with some releases, at least.

I still don't know if, when the time comes to copy all my discs to my as yet to be purchased NAS, I will buy enough storage to also copy the special features.
I've glanced through the written material that is provided, but I've never read it completely. Quite often I never even open it.

As for special features, I occasionally watch them when they are in a foreign language with English subtitles. However, when the special features are spoken in English, Criterion will not provide subtitles. In fact, if there is an English speaking person and a foreign language speaking person in an interview they'll provide the subtitles for the foreign language only.

As a deaf person I contacted Criterion about this and they basically told me that it would cost too much to provide the additional subtitles. I don't believe that for one minute.
