No dupping, well..at least we Belgians don't. Except for children's movies. I think it usually costs too much. We stick to subtitles. In Belgium both Dutch and French, in the Netherlands I reckon Dutch only.

Nehheh, reminds me of the Danish girl that stayed at our house once. She said she could understand a lot of the Dutch we were speaking. Unfortunately it was only one-way: we couldn't make anything out of her Danish than "mumblemumble".
