I assume you're talking about RCE...

NTSC or PAL?  

Look at the verbose output of mplayer, and use the "-aid" number you
think is associated with the correct soundtrack.  Directly from the
DVD you can use eg. "-alang en" instead.  

It would be nice if mplayer/mencoder were consistent in which audio
track they use when none is specified, but that's not the case.  But
it's not really a bug in mencoder.
