    I may be in the wrong place asking this question, but I am hoping someone can help me out.

    I have a few .avi video files of my nephews birthday that I took on my digital camera. I would like to put them on a DVD disk for his parents but there is a druken idiot in the background making various comments that I would not want my nephew to hear when they play the video back.

    To make a long story short (too late), is there an easy to use program I can download to mute out any unwanted sounds in these files and possibly make other sounds louder. I have been searching this website for an answer and I can't seem to find it.

    Any feedback will help...

    Thank you,
    Steve

    If you load/drag the file into VirtualDub, click 'File' => 'Save Wav'.

    Leave Virtualdub open and run 'Audacity'.
    Drag the WAV into Audacity, select the naughty bits (highlight) and from the main menu, either 'Edit' => 'Silence' or choose the 'Effect' and select 'Amplify' to lower the volume or even 'Reverse' to make it unintelligible.
    When satisfied, 'File' => 'Export WAV'.
    Close Audacity.

    In Virtualdub, select 'Audio' => 'Audio from other file' =choose the new wav.
    Select 'Full processing mode' => 'Compression' => 'Lame MP3' => 48,128,stereo,cbr.

    'Video' => 'Direct Stream Copy'.
    'File' => 'Save as AVI'
