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?

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...?

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

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. 🙂

I'm using handbrake for exactly that.

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

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.

I am spinning with a number of questions. Ill stick with this. What other video players would you want to use the mkv with? If a video player is able to open mkv, it would know that its just a container with multiple files in it, for each 1 video and 2 audio contents. So are you more wanting to convert to a different type? As to your direct question - virtualdub if not already mentioned.

I want to use the regular Windows 10 player - i.e., the one that automatically opens when a double click on the file, or VLC, but I don't want to have to do the setting to select the English audio track. As for the type, I am fine with MKV or AVI as those types show up as icons with the first frame in File Manager. AviDemux seems to always give the message that if I have a video in MKV format, I shouldn't convert it, so maybe it is superior? I know that I don't want FLV as that doesn't show up in File Manager.
