[MPlayer-users] Mplayer Option -dumpstream Disregards Language Information

[Sleepless Citizen]

Hello,

Mplayer discards the language information when the dumpstream tag is set.
This means (assuming 131 is a valid sound track for the dvd), the output
file may be in another language:

> mplayer dvd://1 -aid 131 -dumpstream -dumpfile output.vob


The correct functionality would be to set the default language of the vob
file to the value set by the -aid when mplayer was run and the stream was
dumped.

Steps to reproduce the problem:

   1. Rip the main dvd track (the body of the movie) on a multi-language
   dvd: "mplayer dvd://1 -dumpstream -dumpfile output.vob"
   2. Play the output file to check the default language (this is NOT
   ALWAYS English, even on an English dvd, so run the test): "mplayer
   output.vob"
   3. Rip the same track with the -aid tag set to a different language
   (if the default is English, try Spanish!): "mplayer dvd://1 -aid 129
   -dumpstream -dumpfile output.vob"
   4. Play the output file again.  You will probably notice that the -aid
   did not set the language for the output file as would be expected by the
   user: "mplayer output.vob"

This is important because many disks (like Dark Angel Season 1 Disk 1) play
fine (english) but when you dump the data, the language changes to something
bad

Thanks for your time,
