Anyone know a good FREE shareware app that can remove an audio track from a MKV video?

I've finally got my hands on the movie "Rogue One", but unfortunately, there are 2 audio tracks, one in English, and one that is not in English. I can set VLC to have to play the English audio track, but I'd prefer just to rip out the non-English track so I don't have to worry about it in case I use a different player. I've got WinFF, but this doesn't seem to be able to do the job. Any ideas?

Maybe one of these: best-free-video-editing-software[^] VirtualDub should be able to do it (although it is not a highly rated program): VirtualDub features - virtualdub.org[^]

I'm using mkvtoolnix for this kind of stuff:
- Launch mkvtoolnix-gui.exe.
- Click on "Add source files" and add your original video file.
- Check only those streams which you want.
- Press "Start multiplexing"
- Wait for a few seconds.
- Enjoy :)

Worth to be posted in Free Tools Discussion Boards[^], don't you think?
M.D.V. ;) If something has a solution... Why do we have to worry about?. If it has no solution... For what reason do we have to worry about? Help me to understand what I'm saying, and I'll explain it better to you Rating helpful answers is nice, but saying thanks can be even nicer.

It could, except it is not directly related to software development.

So what? Developer have hobbys too, and good tools are always welcome. If you check over there, (mostly yes, but) not all is related to development.

I had always thought that "tools" here refers to programming tools, not apps meant to perform an activity that is in no way connected to programming. Besides, Microsoft Visual Studio is the Alpha & Omega for programming tools. :-D
Yes, you are right. The forum description says:
Quote:
This forum is for discussing and recommending Free tools for software development. Please post direct links to tools, and not just links to pages that review or list tools.
But... around 30 to 40% of the tools listed are not directly related to developement, still things that we (developers) appretiate and use. So, I still say the same... this tool can be posted there.

While I realize you already have your solution...do people really "worry" about *that* sort of thing...? After messing with the audio in a file, I'd be more worried about the video now being out of sync with the audio. I've had...bad luck with that sort of thing. You're gaining back what, a few low hundred MBs by ripping the extra audio tracks...?

Ironically, VLC is the best tool to do that. I remember seeing one-line console commands on SuperUser (StackOverflow) to do something like that. Also, I've personally used it to save audio tracks as mp3's, so I know it works. Just gotta use the console commands. 🙂

[Avidemux](http://avidemux.sourceforge.net) should be able to do it.

I'm using handbrake for exactly that.

Use ffmpeg First run ffmpeg -i file.mp4 to see which streams exists in your file. You should see something like this: Stream #0.0: Video: mpeg4, yuv420p, 720x304 [PAR 1:1 DAR 45:19], 23.98 tbr, 23.98 tbn, 23.98 tbc Stream #0.1: Audio: ac3, 48000 Hz, 5.1, s16, 384 kb/s Stream #0.2: Audio: ac3, 48000 Hz, 5.1, s16, 384 kb/s Then run ffmpeg -i file.mp4 -map 0:0 -map 0:2 -acodec copy -vcodec copy new_file.mp4 to copy video stream and 2nd audio stream to new_file.mp4.

Use ffmpeg. I keep trying to include the commands but codeproject says the message is flagged as spam, but you can easily find them.
