Apr 17, 2014 11:24 AM in response to Koermaby Klaus1,iMovie is not for playback of video. Use DVD Player or VLC so you can see the menus to select the languages.

Apr 17, 2014 10:25 PM in response to Koermaby Bengt Wärleby,Hi
There are no multi-lingual function in iMovie nor in iDVD.
So to get this You need to do a full movie in each language and the if You want a DVD add them all to iDVD.
DVD Studio Pro (not avaliably any more - as iDVD) was able to use one video and several audio tracks on different languages - not iMovie or iDVD.
If You got one language on left audio channel and another on the right - then You must Export out the audio and create two separate double tracks but in separate languages. There are NO Pan-function in iMovie - must be done outside it.
Yours Bengt W

Apr 18, 2014 1:28 AM in response to Klaus1by Koerma,Hello,
the source is a Sat-Receiver with a harddisk for recording (Technisat DigiCorder). The format of the video ist Transport Stream (.ts). With VLC media player it is possible to change the language channel, but not with Quicktime player or iMovie.
Because iMovie can't import .ts files, I convert the Transport Stream with Quicktime player to a .mov file. When I open this mov file with VLC the 2 language channels are still present and it is possible to choose the desired language.
But not with Quicktime or iMovie. In both programs I hear a mix of both channels and it is not possible to separate them.

Apr 18, 2014 3:39 PM in response to Koermaby Klaus1,You need to convert the VOB files in the TS-Folder of the DVD back to DV which iMovie is designed to handle. For that you need mpegStreamclip:
http://www.squared5.com/svideo/mpeg-streamclip-mac.html
which is free, but you must also have the Apple mpeg2 plugin :
http://store.apple.com/us/product/D2187Z/A/quicktime-mpeg-2-playback-component-f or-mac-os-x
(unless you are running Lion in which case see below))
which is a mere $20.
Another possibility is to use DVDxDV:

which costs $25.
For the benefit of others who may read this thread:
Obviously the foregoing only applies to DVDs you have made yourself, or other home-made DVDs that have been given to you. It will NOT work on copy-protected commercial DVDs, which in any case would be illegal.
And from the TOU of these forums:

If you are running Lion or later:
From the MPEG Streamclip homepage
The installer of the MPEG-2 Playback Component may refuse to install the component in Lion. Apple states the component is unnecessary in Lion onwards, however MPEG Streamclip still needs it. See this:
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3381
To install the component in Lion, please download MPEG Streamclip 1.9.3b7 beta above; inside the disk image you will find the Utility MPEG2 Component Lion: use it to install the MPEG-2 Playback Component in Lion. The original installer's disk image (QuickTimeMPEG2.dmg) is required.
The current versions of MPEG Streamclip cannot take advantage of the built-in MPEG-2 functionality of Lion. For MPEG-2 files you still need to install the QuickTime MPEG-2 Playback Component, which is not preinstalled in Lion. (The same applies to Mountain Lion and Mavericks even though they have it preinstalled.) You don't have to install QuickTime 7.
