It was Debian Etch.  Now I tried on another PC having Lenny installed and the
installation went fine.  But still, Mplayer in dvdnav mode won't play the film
in English, whereas in simple dvd mode it will.  I'm attaching the two
different outputs.  What could it be?  I updated my Mplayer svn directory a
couple of hours ago.

Thanks for any furhter help.
