Can I un-dub the audio of a movie?

[assenort]

Hi Guys,

I got this nice movie K2, unfortunatelly the audio is a hell - the original english track is "upgraded" with some dubbing - I think it is a polish one, not sure though. It is done in a very lamish way - the english is not removed, the polish does not exactly do voice-over, so as a result all you can hear is polish talking as an echo to the muffled english talking.

The audio track is in MP3, 126 Kbps VBR format.

Is there any way I can remove the polish dubbing from the audio track? If yes, how can this be done?

TIA for any advises.

load your movie into VirtualDubMOD.
go to the menue which is called "streams"
from this menu select Streamlist.
by now all your audio streams that are interleaved into your movie should be shown.
click on the audiostream that you like to remove until its greys out.
then go to the menu called "Video". in here choose the option "direct stream copy"

then go back to them in which is called "file" and save your movie
as avi using a new filename.

now as I reread that.... is it that both langauges are joined together
in one audio stream???

if this is the case only a wave analizing software could remove
or at least lower the peak of the polish language.
but this means a hell of a work.
it may be better if you try to get hold of a fine audiostream for the movie and interleave that with the movie!!!

Thank you, Shiny#3, unfortunatelly it is a single track only that "combines" two languages.

I figure I have to do what you sugessted, although I doubt to find audio-track only for this movie.

An audio editing program, such as GoldWave or CoolEdit, MAY allow you to strip out the unwanted audio...
