how to remove an audio track from a movie

[canadianjameson]

greetings,

recently I downloaded a movie from a friend that was authored in a weird fashion. the movie itself had been embedded with TWO audio tracks! one english, one spanish. the instructions were to use VLC player and go to Audio -> Track -> track 1 or 2

As I don't speak spanish, I'd like to remove the spanish audio from the movie entirely.

is there a simple method of doing so, or must I re-encode the entire movie? if so i will, but i'll need a walkthrough of sorts.

Thanks,
Jay

????..what´s wrong with spanish?, it´s a beautiful language, you could start watching spanish movies to learn it...
Anyway(and seriously), you can open the movie in DVDShrink, hit the "Re-author" button and remove the "ofensive" audio track
Good luck

ooopppss...sorry for the last post, I don´t know why I assumed it was in DVD format...if it´s DVD try my suggestion, if not, I hope somebody else can come up with the proper solution.

Assuming its an AVI file. Open the file in VirtualDubMod. Goto Streams > Stream List. Select the audio stream you dont want and click disable.

In the video option select Direct Stream Copy and save the file again as AVI with a different name. The new file will not have the disabled audio track.
