Hi.
I'm using mkvtoolnix 3.3.0 on 64 bit Ubuntu 9.10
I'm trying to use mkvpropedit to set the correct language for the audio track, and also to add a name for the track. However, after I've changed the language, mkvinfo will no longer find any tracks at all, and mplayer won't play the file. VLC will still play it, though, and if I use mkvpropedit to delete the language property, everything's back to normal.
The command I'm using is:
$ mkvpropedit title00.mkv -e track:a1 -s language=nor
and here is the output of mkvinfo before and after I set the language property

Is this normal? Am I not using mkvpropedit right? Or is this a bug in either mkvpropedit or mkvinfo (and mplayer)?
If I use mkvmerge to remux the file, like this:
$ mkvmerge -o new.mkv --language 2:nor title00.mkv
everything works fine, and mkvpropedit can change language on this new file without any problems. This takes quite a long time, though, so I would really prefer it if I could use mkvpropedit.
