  • Remove An Audio Layer?

    Posted by Charlie Francis on August 28, 2009 at 2:28 pm

    Hi,

    I was wondering if it’s possible to remove an audio layer (the overlayed music) from a video captured from a DVD.

    I would like to use a few short clips from a Skating video that I bought, but would prefer to have it without the overlaying music.

    Thanks,
    Charlie

    If it’s mixed, you may be looking at a foley session to recreate the natural sound.

    Else get your own music and substitute it for the audio on the DVD.

    There is an alternative though — but you may find it extremely difficult:

    Take the music (you would have to get a CD of just the music and not the natural sound) and add it then invert the waveform and hope that “cancels out” the music on the DVD.I have tried this once and was successful for a very short clip. Problem is, even with CD audio, the music may play back at different speeds. And the sound I got as a result was really “muddy.”

    What if there were no hypothetical questions?
