How to add "home made" audio track to existing video?

[RathO]

I have encoded DV footage to XviD to fit on a single 700 megs cd. I want to add an audio commentary track to complement the already existing and original audio, using a microphone.
How can i record that commentary track (witch program)? How do i make sure that my audio track will be sync to the video? :confused:
Is there a freeware program for that? :confused:

well, you're gonna want to do a few things:

1. Start searching for freeware wave editors. I know EAC has one built-in, and there are many others you just have to search around.

2. Capture your comments to one or more uncompressed wave files.

3. If you are going to be commenting on the entire track, make the track the exact(down to the millisecond if possible) length of the video and make sure your video cue's and audio commentary match at all the important points.

4. If you are just commenting some scenes, the easiest thing to do would be to insert silence between each scene using the wave editor. Again, make sure your video cue's and audio cue's match up.

5. Take the wave file and encode to whatever format you need. (I assume you already know how to do this step)

I believe goldwave is a share/free wav editor that is decent

EAC seems to be a good wav recorder since i already use it to backup my cds. :p

Im going to insert the new audio track to the video by simply adding the new audio segments into the second audio track that MSP (MediaStudio Pro) allows me to add... I will then merge the two tracks after reducing the volume of the original one... :D
I have tested the creation of the final wav, and MSP adds silences automatically to have the same lenght of the video... nice!

I just have to buy a good microphone to have the best sound possible since the micro on my webcam produce sh*t!

Thanks guys!
