ripping a DVD does include all the data found on the disc. specifying
-aid -sid with dumpstream is useless.
Use -aid and -sid (!not -alang or -slang!) with the dumped file, and
everything works fine.
As for how to create another DVD with only the language I don't know how
(but maybe someone else on this list knows how, but you can also google
for DVDauthor and some mpeg* tools and whatever)
If you're only interested in the movie and only one language, you can
also reencode the video, where you have to specify one language and even
a subtitle (if you're going to burn it in). If you want to retain
multi-language and subtitles-on-demand, you're better off with Matroska
or some other containers, but again, I've no experience with them.
hth,
Alex
