A quick check found Spiral with French audio but English subtitles. Perhaps there are more French programs. Disclaimer: I rarely use Netflix and its search engine leaves a lot to be desired, so maybe I just missed the Star Trek programs.
There are no French subtitles for Spiral/Engrenages afaik, at all, anywhere. The best way to search Netflix is by using a 3rd party search site like UNOGS.com or instantwatcher.com. You can filter by audio or subtitle language that way (or both) to find things that might suit you.
Here's a question for you all: do you have to deal with region when playing DVD's from other countries? I know that for me to play foreign DVD's on my computer, I would have to permanently switch to that region's specifications, or something. Would Canadian DVD's be an issue for Americans?
As an American with a British wife, who has also lived in India, I have DVDs from all over the place. Unfortunately there are few solutions to watching on a computer other than switching the region, which can only be done a few times. In my house I set my wife's laptop to play US discs and my laptop to play European discs.
However, many DVD players have simple fixes since the manufacturer makes the same player for different regions. The simplest fix is found on Philips DVD players: you just type a 4-number pin on the remote, and then type your region. You can even choose "0" for region free and play any disc.
You can find cheap DVD players in Australia that are not region specific (ie you can play any DVD in them from any region). I thought this was relatively common elsewhere too, but I guess not.
