I'm using mkvtoolnix for this kind of stuff:
- Launch mkvtoolnix-gui.exe.
- Click on "Add source files" and add your original video file.
- Check only those streams which you want.
- Press "Start multiplexing"
- Wait for a few seconds.
- Enjoy

Worth to be posted in Free Tools Discussion Boards[^], don't you think?
M.D.V. 
If something has a solution... Why do we have to worry about?. If it has no solution... For what reason do we have to worry about?
Help me to understand what I'm saying, and I'll explain it better to you
Rating helpful answers is nice, but saying thanks can be even nicer.

It could, except it is not directly related to software development.

So what? Developer have hobbys too, and good tools are always welcome.
If you check over there, (mostly yes, but) not all is related to development.

You are making a point. I'll add it later today.

I had always thought that "tools" here refers to programming tools, not apps meant to perform an activity that is in no way connected to programming. Besides, Microsoft Visual Studio is the Alpha & Omega for programming tools.

Yes, you are right. The forum description says:
Quote: This forum is for discussing and recommending Free tools for software development. Please post direct links to tools, and not just links to pages that review or list tools.
But... around 30 to 40% of the tools listed are not directly related to developement, still things that we (developers) appretiate and use.
So, I still say the same... this tool can be posted there.

While I realize you already have your solution...do people really "worry" about that sort of thing...?
After messing with the audio in a file, I'd be more worried about the video now being out of sync with the audio. I've had...bad luck with that sort of thing. You're gaining back what, a few low hundred MBs by ripping the extra audio tracks...?

Ironically, VLC is the best tool to do that.
I remember seeing one-line console commands on SuperUser (StackOverflow) to do something like that. Also, I've personally used it to save audio tracks as mp3's, so I know it works.
Just gotta use the console commands. 🙂

I'm using handbrake for exactly that.

Use ffmpeg
First run ffmpeg -i file.mp4 to see which streams exists in your file. You should see something like this:
Stream #0.0: Video: mpeg4, yuv420p, 720x304 [PAR 1:1 DAR 45:19], 23.98 tbr, 23.98 tbn, 23.98 tbc
Stream #0.1: Audio: ac3, 48000 Hz, 5.1, s16, 384 kb/s
Stream #0.2: Audio: ac3, 48000 Hz, 5.1, s16, 384 kb/s
Then run ffmpeg -i file.mp4 -map 0 -map 0:2 -acodec copy -vcodec copy new_file.mp4 to copy video stream and 2nd audio stream to new_file.mp4.

Use ffmpeg. I keep trying to include the commands but codeproject says the message is flagged as spam, but you can easily find them.

I am spinning with a number of questions. Ill stick with this.
What other video players would you want to use the mkv with? If a video player is able to open mkv, it would know that its just a container with multiple files in it, for each 1 video and 2 audio contents.
So are you more wanting to convert to a different type?
As to your direct question - virtualdub if not already mentioned.

I want to use the regular Windows 10 player - i.e., the one that automatically opens when a double click on the file, or VLC, but I don't want to have to do the setting to select the English audio track. As for the type, I am fine with MKV or AVI as those types show up as icons with the first frame in File Manager. AviDemux seems to always give the message that if I have a video in MKV format, I shouldn't convert it, so maybe it is superior? I know that I don't want FLV as that doesn't show up in File Manager.

A study was just released that stated the average age on cars on America’s highways is 12 years old.
What they forgot to mention was that the average apparent age of drivers was also 12 years of age...

My car dates back to 2003, LOL. I don't plan to buy another one until the driverless cars come out. Of course, when driverless cars come out, driverless taxis will also be available, and at a lower net cost that what an owner-operator could do it (i.e., because such a taxi will depreciate very quickly instead of taking a long time, thereby having an investment in the driveway that isn't doing anything most of the time).

Mine is a 2004.
Payed off and runs and stops.
That's everything to me.

BTW, I was taking the opportunity to take the news story (about the age of cars), and making a joke regarding the apparent age of drivers).
(jokes aren't nearly as funny if you have to explain them)
