Hey guys!

I was planning to make a youtube clip and I had a couple of scenes that I wanted to cut from a movie. I cut them using RAD video tools. When I play the cut clips in WMP or VLC player only the background music and sounds are heard (just like I wanted!), but when I add them to movie maker, the narrator is heard.

How can I remove the narrator's voice???
It will be sooo perfect without the narrator's sound!

Use Avimux or virtualdub to get rid of the extra audio:

I appreciate the help but I'm afraid you misunderstood me.
I did not need software to cut video, but a program to cut the sound, the voice of the narrator from the video file. TO cut the narrator and leave the background music.

I understood you perfectly.
If your clip has 2 audio streams, you can load the clip in Avi Mux(it will show the video and the 2 audio streams), and save only the video and the audio stream that you need into a new Avi.

There is a possibility that both audio(narator and background) are on the same audio stream.If that srteam has 2 channels, one with the narator's voice and one with the background, you can also separate them. In this case, you load the file in AviMux, untick the video stream and save just the audio( or you can use any other audio stripping metod you wish, but this will take you a few seconds) . Then you load that audio audio file in Audacity and separate the channels. If both channels have the same audio, no much you can do.
Here is a link to a similar issue that I had(except mine was an RMVB file, so I used RMMUxer instead of AVIMUX)

Hope it helps.

So I saved the audio using AVI-Mux and opened it up with Audacity. I believe there are two channels, but how do I separate them?

Thanks and sorry for the spam. I tried doing it myself.

When you load it in Audacity and play only one channel, are they different, or they have the same audio on both channels?
Here is how to remove audio from one channel

for some reason Audacity plays my tracks in a flash, in a second (literally), so it sounds like "scrchhchchc". How do I make it play it normally?

Audacity does that because it does not support that format. You can try to rip the audio again with a different audio ripping tool and save it as WAV or mp3, something that audacity can recognize, or convert the audio you already have to WAV, mp3.
If you read my thread, you will find that it did not work for me(you will find info about converters also):

http://forums.afterdawn.com/thread_view.cfm/599212

However, as I was reading some Audacity forums trying to troubleshoot my issue,people were saying that once the audio conversion is done, the audio gets sort of "mashed up or something", and you might not be able to separate the2 channels, as they will have same audio. Kinda having subtitles hardcoded, can't remove them. I am sure any sound can be isolated in a proffesional lab, but not with the freebies.
Try a different demuxer. You might be able to extract the original audio in the format that Audacity recognizes, without need for conversion.
