Thanks for your help.  It seems that the problem only occurs with dvdnav: with
dvdnav, it says:

        "libdvdnav: Language 'en' not found, using 'it' instead",

whereas with simply dvd:

        "Selected DVD audio channel: 129 language: en"

I'm attaching both outputs.  How come this happens, and how to work it out?

Bye
Rodolfo
