How to remove cursing and other such audio parts?

[TheNewbage]

If I have a video on DVD or just on Divx/Xvid, etc. on my computer, what's the best and quickest way to edit the audio and remove such language? Thanks!

There is no quick way. Without wanting to be rude, if you are that offended, don't watch them. I have an ever-growing list of movies I want to show my kids, but they will have to wait until they are old enough. I would rather that, than show them censored or edited versions.

Otherwise, sit, listen, blank, listen etc until you get to the end. Do not edit it though, or you will be out of sync. Just kill the volume for the duration of the offending word.

If it is a multi-channel DVD, you may have to edit each channel seperately, then re-encode. It's a big job.

I recommend you avoid R-rated films...

Editing that content will be tedious work.

At one point there was a company that was pre editing films then reselling them but they got sued for copyright infringement. Might want to look into that but I'm pretty sure they are out of business. Based in Utah if I remember correctly... go figure.

There was also at one point a DVD company that was offering a DVD player that would *beep* the words and skip the scenes not appropiate for young viewers.... I think they got sued too and are out of business.

See where I'm going here.... short of that you would need to watch the entire movie and either add the bleep or lower the sound as suggested above. No easy way to do it.

yep it's quite a chore..i did it on my Back to the Future project. after combining the 3 movies I had about 5hr/20min and it was also in DD5.1

I had to extract the AC3 track and break it up into 5 mono .wavs using AC3Tool. I then loaded up the center channel in adobe audition and converted the choice words to silence. Every once in a while you may have something happen in one of the side/surround speakers and that is treated the same way...then you re-render it all to AC3 and use it as the audio track when authoring. Segregating the center channel like this helps keep the movie from having gaping holes of silence all throughout :P.

If you don't want to hear that kind of language the simplest solution is just to make videos of the President's press conferences.

Delete the file from your computer.

Or you can sub-title the entire film with ssa, edit out the offending words, then
delete the soundtrack (LOL)

yes i agree with everyone here that the DVD one would be really hard to censor... but the Divx/Xvid thing might be a lot easier.

The main thing you are looking for to get started on your quest to censorship is a signal generator to make that "beep". you can also just go in with goldwave and almost mute the word out, that's another technique.

then take your edited sound file and plop it back against the original using something like virtual dub.

so the main things you are looking to do here is ripping the audio out of the file, editing it, and then laying back to the original. i dont have time to write a book on editing though now sorry

get familiar with goldwave and multiquence, it's big brother
