This is from the MythTV mailing list. If you’ve ripped a DVD as “perfect”, and want to remove audio tracks, except for English, here is the procedure:

Step 1. Dump the Audio: mplayer name.vob -dumpaudio -dumpfile audio.ac3 -benchmark -vo null -aid 128

Step 2. Dump the Video: mplayer -ao null name.vob -dumpvideo -dumpfile name.mp2 -benchmark

Step 3. Combine the two: mplex -f8 -o newname.vob /path_to/name.mp2 /path_to/audio.ac3

Many thanks to those on the list who fixed this problem! Thread can be found here.
