[MPlayer-users] wrong audio chanell and subtitles on DVD playback

[Steve Stavropoulos]

 I have to say that DVD playback is excellent, except of a slight detail.
The Sound and the Subtitles.

 When I try to play a dvd whose default language is english I get some
other language with mplayer. For example in Sweet November dvd I got
Italics. Is there a way to tell mplayer the audio language to choose?

 When I try to tell mplayer to use a subtitle from the dvd it doesn't. I
give for examle -sid 1 and the movie plays normally but without subtitles.

 Here's the output:
