Edit sound and delete subtitles

[BriansNSane]

A friend of mine sent me an Xvid copy of an old japanese anime he had and I dont know how it was done but I can hear the Japanese and English language at the same time all the way through it.It seems as tho the japanese is a little bit lower in volume than the english but it still hard to concentrate and is a headache.It also has the english translation of the japanese dialogue in subtitles wich is horriblely inaccurate and painful to look at. Is there any kind of editing software out there that can remove the subtitles from the Xvid and modify the audio to only hear the english?

A) Audio - Load it into VirtualDubMOD - and see if it has two separate audiostreams. If so, you can "turn one off" and resave the file

B) To eliminate subtitles from (DivX-compressed or other) .AVI videos

If you are fortunate enough to have the subtitles appearing below the movie image (rather than across the image itself, you can "erase" the subtitles by using VirtualDub as follows (it's not as complicated as it sounds):

1) Load the .AVI into VirtualDub (or one of its variants)
2) Set "Audio" to "Direct Stream Copying"
3) Set "Video" to "Full Processing Mode"
4) From under the "Video" dropdown menu, select "Compression" and select the same codec and settings that were used for the original .AVI
5) From under the "Video" dropdown menu, select "Filters"
6) Click on the "Add" radio button
7) Doubleclick on the "Null transform" filter
8) Click on the "Cropping" radio button
9) Enter the proper amount in the "Y2 offset" (at lower left) to cut off the subtitles
10) Click on "OK"
11) Click on the "Add" radio button
12) Doubleclick on the "Resize" filter
13) Under "New width and height" enter the NEW dimensions of your cropped video (e.g. 720x440)
14) Select "Precise bicubic"
15) Put a checkmark in "Expand frame and letterbox image"
16) Set "frame width" and "frame height" to the ORIGINAL dimensions (e.g. 720x480)
17) Click on "OK" (brings you back to primary "Filters" screen" and then click on "OK" (to get back to main VirtualDub screen)
18) From the "File" dropdown menu, select "Save AVI" and save with a NEW filename

Let us know of your success ;>}

Awesome I'll definetely report back. Thank you very much!! I've been researching and looking everywhere! I'v e recently found out that xvid is a video codec only so another audio had to of been added to the compilation.This is all very fresh to me as this is my first time learning of divx and xvid and I've pretty much jumped in head first.

That Did It!!!!!!! The subtitles were in the strem list along with the japanese audio and I was able to disable both and save it with 100% results!!! Thank you!!!!!
