n00b: how to mux mp4 with rmvb

[Slogra]

I made a rmvb video with RealAnime but the sound was not there (is that normal?). So i converted the sound myself with Nero to mp4. Now i want to mux it with the video, but i've got no clue how. What program should i use for this?


grz,

A realvideo n00b

mkvmerge

(no possibility to mux into an rmvb container :( )

Please post the last lines of producer.log to see if there is any errors. Also, what was the source and your settings?

[Slogra]

I used an AVS file for video input, but I was not sure where to select the audio source in RealAnime.

i'm also not sure what kinda container people normally use for these files... but i'd like to put it in a rm container (bcause then you know what kinda video it is by looking at the file extentions).

Anyway, here are some lines from the log file:

From what I see, producer did not find any audio stream in your source, so the resulted file has no audio. RealAnime don't support external audio files for muxing.

mkvmerge would be the best solution.

[karl_lillevold]

If your audio and video come from different sources, you can use Producer cmd line, with a job file. This is of course, not nearly as convenient as RealAnime. Easiest would be to combine audio and video in an Avisynth script and use this as input to RealAnime. Example:

v = AVISource("video.avi")
a = WAVSource("audio.wav")
av = AudioDub(v,a)
return av

(AVISource / WAVSource may be replaced with DirectShowSource if needed)

If you already have video in rmvb, and audio in .mp4 (AAC), you have to use mkvmerge to multiplex the two streams.

Currently, the only option that is RealPlayer compatible, is to create a SMIL presentation (text file) that combines the two.
