    Hi all,

    I'm sorry if this is a stupid question but is it possible to remove foreign voice overs from a dvd??

    I bought a magazine from abroad and it contained a dvd with it
    (The Saint) but had Polish voice over. I was wondering if there was any software what I could use which could remove that and then have it in English??

    Thanks all

    you might not have to convert your DVD to take out the audio...... try and see if the audio channel can be switched to the audio you want! It might have 3 or so audio channels, including a directors cut audio..... so if you keep hitting the audio channel button on your remote or DVD player you might get the correct audio you want! good luck.

    Hi Ihoe,

    Thanks for the advise, unfortunately that didn't work. Its not the end of the world as the dvd itself only costs a few dollars so I could buy an original English version. I was just curious if it could be done with any software. Cheers

    It may be a bit long winded but DVDShrink allows you to remove audio tracks from DVDs when it re-encodes them (the main use being to remove unwanted foriegn audio tracks to allow further space reduction). Read through the guides on this site for more info!

    if using your AUDIO button on the DVDplayer or the remote didn't change or solve your problem then there is only that audio channel that you DON'T want and trying to change audio channels in Shrink is mute! they don't exist if you can't change them while watching! so Shrink will not solve this problem either!

    That didn't work with Shrink just like you said Ihoe. Nevermind, it was only to see if it was possible to do such a thing, movies pretty crappy anyway
