Must admit I don't know what variants are used,for as I've never used them :) except what it says in the wiki page http://freevo.sourceforge.net/cgi-bin/doc/MovieFxd >>>> <variants> >>>> <variant name="Soundtrack Italian" mplayer-options="-alang ita"> >>>> <part ref="p1"></part> >>>> </variant> >>>> <variant name="Soundtrack English" mplayer-options="-alang eng"> >>>> <part ref="p1"></part> >>>> </variant> >>>> </variants> This would be incorrect especially if DVD_LANG_PREF is set, better to use -aid 128, etc but you can select the language from the title sub menu. mminfo will tell you the possible audio channels. I can think of uses for variant maybe passing audio filter options to mplayer, eg using -af pan or -af channels to convert stereo to six channel audio or to play only the left or right channel from an audio stream for bilingual audio. It may also be possible to select a different angle from a dvd, these are often use for different language menus. > Even with only 2 variants, the parameters passed to mplayer are buggy.
