and Cinemas..... like, seriously, it is as if they consider all deaf people to be unemployed and happy to go to the cinema on a Monday at midday.... It is easier to pirate films (with subtitles!!!) than it is to go to the cinema as a deaf person. Sure, you can wait a few months for Netflix etc, but why should I have to wait when I can easily download a 4k version with subs and have my own private screening on my projector, with a nice glass of wine in my hand....(3m wide picture, huge speakers, so pretty comparable to the cinema experience given the relative seating positions....)
For example 4 K Movies and players cost more than a regular or Blu Ray DVD player.

@FEMW,
aren't all IFE movies reformatted specifically for a specific ife screen size and software setup.
As such you can not simply say , but movie abcd on dvd has subtitles, so same movie should have subtitles on IFE, The two (DVD/IFE releases) have no 1-1 correlation as it is not DVD output shown on planes IFE screens
Further the airlines themselves have little say choice wise in the movies, especially newer releases, that the film studios allow to be sold to airlines to be screened within an IFE package.

That's partially true, but CC/subtitles is a separate file, independent of the video/audio stream. However, the reformatting may have generated timing/sync issues with the CC/subtitles.
