bilingual monolingual

[emdiem]

Whats the difference?

I nevedr really looked into this, but noticed that i can choose the types when authoring with TMPGEnc DVD Author ...

[Tommy B.]

I guess

monolingual = one language
bilingual = two (and possibly more) languages

[E-Male]

i gues(!) it'll turn the stereo track into 2 mono tracks you can switch between

Tommy B. is right. E-Male is not wrong. Monolingual means ONE language, and Bilingual means TWO DIFFERENT languages.

You can't have a stereo sound where each track is a different language, because of obvious reasons. I saw this very thing in a hacked Lion King DVD in Malayasia. (Of course, this sort of hacking ought to receive the punishment it deserves.) With such a source, you can only have one mono track to play at a time.

Of course, many legal DVDs are multilingual, i.e. have more than one soundtrack in full ac3 or stereo.
