 Freevo allows to choose the audio track in dual files. Just press E or the 
 equivalent in your remote control to see the options.

E will only give me a menu such as 

Play with ALternate player
Search IMDB
Create Thumbnail
etc

 Even so, I think there is something wrong with your files. My dual avi files 
 have 2 tracks, one for each language, and each track has 2 channels, ie, it's 
 stereo. 

Mine is more like Karaoke files. I'm not really sure if it's stereo, but
it sure doesn't present itself as that.

 In your case, you have only one track with both languages. 

Nope. It's One Language per channel/track.
LEft = English
Right = Chinese

or in Karaoke
Left = Music Only
Right = Music + Vocal
Stereo = Music + Vocal

The above setup enables users/singers to sing either the Karaoke by
him/herself and switch to the one with Vocal if they don't know how to
sing that particular verse.

 fix your files, so that freevo and 
 mplayer can see them as dual files, not stereo. 

Frankly, I've never seen dual files before.

Hi.


 E will only give me a menu such as

   Play with ALternate player
   Search IMDB
   Create Thumbnail
   etc


If the file is real dual and/or there are subtitles, more options will appear.




  In your case, you have only one track with both languages.

 Nope. It's One Language per channel/track.
 LEft = English
 Right = Chinese

Again, I think you have only one track. An stereo track has two channels, and 
there you have both languages, one per channel. You need one per track.



  fix your files, so that freevo and
  mplayer can see them as dual files, not stereo.

 Frankly, I've never seen dual files before.

To get a real dual file, you could use avidemux (avidemux.sf.net). I haven't 
used it for what you need, but seeing the docs it can do more or less what 
you need. First, you can use an audio filter to get both channels in 
different files. Then, you can resave the avi file using those files as 
external sources for audio. First do it for one language, then for the other. 
Be sure to get the audio files in cbr mp3 or ac3. It seems that avidemux can 
handle only this for dual files. I'd try everything ctting first a small 
piece of the file, to save time. When you see how it works, do it for all the 
file.

Good luck

Alberto
