I recently rented a DVD of Troy, I copied all the files on my hard drive and watched the movie in VLC media player in WinXP. It is an English movie with some part of the movie in Greek (I don't know if it is exactly Greek), there was no translation written. Since some part of the movie was in Greek I could not understand it fully and hence I decided to watch it again and this time I watched it on Linux in Xine Player.
I was astonished to notice that the total movie was in English and there was no Greek at all! I decided to investigate this matter and checked again in WinXP, I installed K-Lite Codec Pack and played the movie in Zoom Player, WM10, VLC, PowerDVD, WinDVD to my surprise all had a little bit of Greek portion in it and that Greek portion when player in Xine it was English. This is one case
The second one, I had downloaded a Telugu movie Anand which was in DivX format. I played it in WinXP (all the players mentioned above were used), so far so good. I, now played it in Xine and found the translation in English written through out the movie which was not found in WinXP when the same movie was played. These two instances have completely blown me out, and I wonder what was happening. I want to know why Xine played Troy completely in English while other players in WinXP played some portion in Greek and why I saw English translation written through out the movie Anand when it was played in Xine but the same movie when played in WinXP did not have the translation written.
