Thanks for all the help on this Ryan. Do you know how mtd rips a movie
if it doesn't use mencoder. Has anyone run in to any documentation on
how Myth rips movies in detail. Any other experiences from anyone would
be helpful.<br>

The problem "seems" to be that transcode operates "dumbly" off audio
tracks, and the default language can switch between chapters. For
ripping, I don't know if there's anything you can really do about
it. There doesn't currently seem to be any way to have mtd use
mencoder, and I don't see anyway to set the language as opposed to the
audio track for transcode. The only good solution I know is to
run mencoder manually and specify the language you want via -alang or
-aid.<br>
<br>
Also, if you use mplayer, using -alang or -aid may prevent the problem
when you are just watching and not ripping. It certianly won't
hurt anything to add it to your default command line, unless of course
you are multilingual and don't always want to watch in the same
language. (If you watch many foreign films, it wouldn't hurt to add in
a -sid or -slang for subtitles either, just make sure you have a button
on your remote set to turn them off!)<br><span class="sg">
