I need some Vid tech help with a project I am doing.

I have a number of .MPG files that I want to give to others, but only after removing the background sound (due to swearing etc)

Apart from recording a stack of null audio tracks and using Windows Movie maker, is there a better option?

Any help will be appreciated. I have about 3Gb of sound files so it needs to be a non finnicky way or else I am doomed.

VirtualDub can do it, but that's not a specialised approach either and it only saves as .avi as far as I know.

Yeah, it seems its a reencoding thing for all options

I found TMPGEnc and although it is painfully slow, by just encoding without audio, it is giving me good quality. Unfortunately, it isnt saving any filesize. 30 day licence for MPEG-2 encoding is fine by me as I wont be using it again in the near future

ffmpeg should do exactlt what you need, though it's command-line only. You'll spend a good hour on Google, trying to find the right combination of flags.
