How to encode Audio from 1 movie file to other??

[Justin101]

I have two movie files
1] Excellent Quality - French lang
2] Average Quality - English lang

I want audio of 2nd file and video of 1st file.
How encode such way???

Please do recommend some method or some software.
Any help is appreciated.

Maybe you don't need 'encode' (word reserved to change audio format) but:

1) 'Extract' audio from 2nd file
2) 'Mux' the audio to fisrt file

To recommend you some method or software we need know more about the two files.
Put a Mediainfo report of both files.

Justin101, why don't you simply use the desired audio+video from your original disc? How did you happen two get two different variants of the same movie? :confused:

If the video is exactly the same then it shouldn't be too hard. If it's not..... different number of frames, different frame rate etc then it's a whole different ballgame. Assuming the video is identical.....

If they're AVI's VirtualDubMod will do it. Once you open a video file you can demux an audio track (save it as a separate file) and also delete an existing track, or add a new one etc. It's done from the Streams menu. Then you resave the AVI, selecting "direct stream copy" when at the "save as" dialog. You'll find VirtualDubMod via Google.

AVIMux GUI will open various video and audio types and save the contents of each as an AVI or MKV file.
MKVToolnix will open various video and audio types and save the required contents of each as an MKV file.
YAMB will do the same thing for MP4s.

If your new video file has audio that's not in sync then you may have to delay it or even stretch it etc. You'll find the above three programs easily with Google. If you're not fussed about the file type I prefer MKVToolnix as it's easy to use, fast, and the MKV files it produces always work. Otherwise, try whichever program is appropriate.

One other thought....
If video "A" happens to be 25fps while video "B" is 23.976fps..... for example.... then when you combine the desired video and audio, the simplest fix is to change the frame rate of the new video file to match the frame rate of the video file from which you took the English audio. All the programs I mentioned will change the video frame rate as they re-save the file. If the frame rate happens to be 29 point something (can't remember it exactly) changing the frame rate to sync the audio mightn't be an option. Sometimes if the audio gradually loses sync as the video progresses, changing the frame rate slightly.... say from 23.976 to 23.975.... will fix that.

Doing it the other way..... changing the audio speed to match the video frame rate.... well I always go for changing the frame rate before diving into that mess.

you need some audio editor (Adobe Audition?)

Probably You interested in cancel French voices from 1 file then use such audio without voices with English voices extracted from movie 2.

To be honest - i doubt in success for such operations but maybe You are lucky. Search in Audition for "Channel Mixer" or something similar - should be available preset for voice extraction - but don't expect miracles.

If not take English audio track from DVD or any good source (assume that this is video available in various language versions so probably DVD or similar multiple audio track source)
