Very possible but not with VB6 unless you want to write your own video and audio editing apps. There are samples of audio editing apps on PSC but I haven't seen any for video.

You have to edit sound channel using a good sound editor, editing out the bad words (you would have to do that yourself). To keep the edited sound channel from being out of sync with the video you would have to replace the length of the sound of the bad words with either a beep (which would be annoying) or a silence wave of the same length.

I did one once using Video Studio. I loaded the movie file into Video Studio. I played the movie until I came to a point where I didn't want either the video or the audio part. To edit out one of these you simply move a slider from one point to another which highlights the audio/video part you don't want and then do a simple cut. After I was done editing I had Video Studio rewrite the movie back out in DVD format and burn it to a DVD disk.
