That is similar to how I repaired my videos, except I used AVIDemux
instead of ffmpeg to pull the audio out and put it back in. Other
than that, that was pretty much the exact process I used. On one box
I did the Split Track and delete bad method, and on the other I did
the Stereo to Mono option, because I could not find the first option
on that system's version of Audacity. I'm sure it's there somewhere,
but I got tired of looking for it.
(ProTip to any lurking devs. Stop Changing the ****** interface
around for no apparent reason please. If it's broke, don't try to fix
it.) :p
