Removing multiple audio tracks from an AVI video file

So I’ve got a whole bunch of .avi video files that have multiple audio tracks (english, foreign language, commentary, etc.). Unfortunately, the media center program that I use with my TV doesn’t have an easy way to switch audio tracks on a video using the embedded player and many of them seem to default to the commentary track.

Anyone know of a good way to strip out the extraneous audio tracks so that I’m just left with just the video and the default english?

I think I’m right in saying an AVI file is just a container for one of a few different types of video object; yours sounds like it contains MPEG.

I believe VirtualDub or VirtualDubMod will do what you want; you might have to do it in several operations - i.e. extract the audio stream you want, extract the video stream, then re-dub them back together
