I thought about that as well...

Better database suggestion: instead of country codes, using the field
language.id as reference (we already have countries/languages listed up
in the table languages). The comma-separated list will make good sense
here, since it would even allow requests like "SELECT ... WHERE
language_id LIKE '%,25,%'" to find out the movies with this language.
But do you have any ideas for the design of the frontend in edit/view
mode to select/display those languages? It must allow selection of
multiple languages in edit mode, and must list up multiple languages in
view mode - while at the same time it has to always fit into the
template, regardless how many languages are chosen.
Same thing for subtitles, same thing for subtitles for the hearing
impaired. And the form shall still be clear (and not confusing).
Another thing is: for DVDs, there cannot only be multiple languages -
but some of them can be in one tone format and others in a different
(e.g. English in DD 5.1, German in Dolby Surround). If we want to take
this into account as well, it gets really hard...
