Strange thing with my "Hard Days Night" DVD It plays French and not English but on my DVD player, it plays English. When I try to start mplayer requesting alternate audio track with either -aid 1 or -alang en - it doesn't help. When I start mplayer with -v (verbose), I get the following... Playing dvd://1. get_path('sub/') -> '/home/craig/.mplayer/sub/' URL: dvd://1 Reading disc structure, please wait... There are 3 titles on this DVD. There are 15 chapters in this DVD title.
