It's absolutely beyond me! On these DVD's there is only one sound track. I
did try to mute and un-mute, but to no avail... Furthermore they do have
subtitles, but these give no problems.
In another group I read something about DVD+RW double layer. Perhaps I
should have used one of those first (although who guarantees that these
won't behave different altogether again?!) Besides, I never knew there even
was such a thing as DVD+RW DL.
