    How to Change Audio Tracks with VirtualDubMod

    How to change audio tracks with VirtualDubMod.

    Program you will need:
    VirtualDubMod - found here: http://sourceforge.net/project/showfile ... p_id=65889
    Current version is 1.5.10.2

    I'll be using the following file:

    LazyTown.108.Sportafake.WS.xvid.dual.en-us-uk.avi

    This file has 2 audio tracks. The first track is the US edited version and the second track is the UK audio.

    No installation is needed of this program, just extract to any folder or make a new one. After opening the program, open the file by going to File > Open video file... and browsing to the file. There are other ways, like with the Open with... method, but that's for another post. :)

    After the video is opened, the window should look like this:

    To change the audio track order or remove/add, go to Streams > Stream list. This window should pop-up:

    The first box is track 1, as you can sort of see in the top left box. Let's say we want the UK track to be the first one. Right now, the first track is selected in gray. To make that track the second one, click on the Move down button on the right. Now the US track will be the 2nd one and the UK track will be the first one. It's done! All that's left is to save the file! That will come in the paragraph after the next one.

    Now if you want to remove a track. Select it by clicking on it, and then clicking on the Disable button on the bottom right. If you want to add in a track, click on the Add button on the right and browse to the audio file you want to add. So far I only have the German audio track of the first episode (edited to fit the UK video). :) I'll add it to the proper topic later once I found it.

    Before saving the file, make sure Direct Stream Copy is selected so you won't re-encode the file. To do that go to the main window and choose Video > Direct stream copy. Now to save file, go to File > Save As... or Hotkey F7. Choose whatever filename you like and you'll done! My next how-to should be using MKVMerge. Hopefully this was found to be helpful because I remember a few people wanting the UK audio track.
