>And don't get me started on store bought DVDs which were in English and German, but if you wanted to watch the English version you had to watch it with subtitles. Assuming you are talking about playback on a computer: Only the officially licensed software did this, along with blocking fast-forward during movie previews etc. But VLC for example let you select whatever audio track and subtitle track you wanted.
