Although dubbing is most common with film, television series are sometimes dubbed as well (mostly popular Hollywood series and serialized Japanese anime that have received foreign distribution). Foreign-language films and videos are often dubbed into the local language of their target markets to increase their popularity with the local audience by making it more accessible.
Automated dialogue replacement is a film sound technique involving the re-recording of dialogue after photography, abbreviated ADR. It is also called post-synchronization (post-sync) in the UK.
In conventional film production, a production sound mixer records dialogue during photography, but several uncontrollable issues, including traffic and animal noise, during principal photography can cause the production sound to be unusable.
When the film is in post-production, a Supervising Sound Editor or ADR Supervisor reviews all of the dialogue in the film and rules which actor lines will have to be replaced using the ADR technique.
ADR is recorded during an ADR session. An actor, usually (but not always) the original actor on set, is called to a sound studio equipped with video playback equipment and sound playback and recording equipment. The actor wears headphones and is shown the film of the line that must be replaced, and often he will be played the production sound recording. The film is then projected several times, and the actor attempts to re-perform the line while watching the image on the screen, while an ADR Recordist records the performances. Several takes are made, and based on the quality of the performance and sync, one is selected and edited by and ADR Editor for use in the film.
There are variations of the ADR process. ADR does not have to be recorded in a studio, but can be recorded on location, with mobile equipment; this process was pioneered by Matthew Wood of Skywalker Sound for The Phantom Menace. ADR can also be recorded without showing the actor the image he must match, but only by having him listen to the performance. This process was used for years at Universal Studios.
Dubbing is often used to localize a foreign movie. The new voice track will usually be spoken by a voice artist.

For example, Mary Shelley used a subtitle to give her most famous novel, Frankenstein; or, the Modern Prometheus an alternate title to give a hint of the theme.s may be used instead of dubbing, as different countries have different traditions regarding the choice between dubbing and subtitling.

American TV series are only available in English on DVD, if at all.In some countries, such as Thailand and South Africa, the original soundtrack is simultaneously carried or 'simulcast' on the radio.
On DVDs with higher translation budgets, the option for both types will often be provided to account for individuals' preferences; purists exist for both types of translation. For small markets (small language area or films for a select audience) subtitling is more suitable because it is cheaper. For films for small children, who can not yet read, or not yet very fast, dubbing is necessary.
