answer:I suppose you could use a program like Gold Wave (a free download for trial; you should be able to Google it easily) or similar programs to strip out some of the audio. I’ve used it in the past to convert from, say, .WAV to .MP3 audio. I would imagine that it’ll work on the audio portion of a video file, too. But that’s the catch, I think. You’d have to rip the DVD into smaller files that you can play with. If you had an entire movie on DVD, for example, in “a few” massive files of several GB each, those would be difficult to manipulate without professional quality software… and the skill and training to use it well. But Gold Wave was freely available when I used it a couple of years ago. It couldn’t hurt to try. I think it’ll be a long and tedious process, though. You’d have better luck just using some low-tech solution like a friend to hit the mute button on the computer at the appropriate times. That’s what I’d do.
