How do you combine audio and video files?

I've brought in a video file and an audio file, but can find no way to specify that they are a single source that should be compressed together.  The documentation was of no use.  How do you identify video and audio files as being one source?
Thanks!

Semantics, I suppose.  In any case, you do need to go through Premiere Pro if you want AME to do the job.  There are likely other encoders out there which can perform the muxing, though, if you'd rather not go through PP.

  • How do I combine separate audio and video files into one Quicktime movie?

    I have DVDs that contain separate audio and video files in folders marked Audio_TS and Video_TS. I would like to know how to combine these files into a single Quicktime movie. Is there inexpensive or shareware software that imports and unites these files reliably? A simple solution is preferred, rather than getting into complex media editing applications.

    Doug - the VOB files (in the VIDEO_TS folder) are MPEG-2 files. MPEG-2 have the video and audio mixed into the one file - there are no audio files to combine.
    The rest are directions to a DVD player (e.g. the BUP and IFO's) . The AUDIO_TS folder is used for DVD Audio discs and on video DVDs is always empty.
    Many people use Handbrake or iSquint to convert VOB to iPod video though MPEG Streamclip is the best - open the first numbered VOB and it will prompt you to open all of them. ALWAYS fix timecodes when it asks. You can then edit/trim and export to MPEG-4.

  • How can I combine the audio and video files from youtube downloads when they don't automatically combine?

    I'm using YouTube Video and Audio Downloader. Sometimes the audio and video files combine automatically, sometimes they don't - remaining as separate " DASH - .m4a and DASH - .mp4 ". It used to be that when this would happen I could open up a "ffmpeg" window which would allow me to "manually" convert them to a combined .mp4 file. It was a "drag and drop" type of interface. For some reason I can no longer access that ffmpeg combining function. I tried clicking on ffmpeg.exe. I tried re-downloading ffmpeg several times, both from the Downloader options tab and from the ffmpeg website.
    Thanks for your help.

    Sounds like a question for the developer of the video download add-ons that you have installed.

  • How to combine discrete audio and video files?

    I am working on a project which requires me to merge a video file with a PCM audio file from another source.
    I just bought Compressor 4.1.1, expecting to be able to do exactly this.
    The only "multiple input - single output" option I can see is creating a surround sound group, adding my audio as left and right channels, and then attaching the video.
    This does not work. Pressing "add" at the end of the process does not result in a new job.
    Help please!
    G.

    QT7 Pro is able to do this. Cost is $30.
    In QT7 Pro, open up the audio and video files to be matched.
    Select all the audio and then select copy
    In the video window, put the playback head where you want the audio to start then select add to movie.
    Verify the playback is as desired, then save the movie. Done.
    Takes longer to describe the process than to do it.

    Of course, life is good when the in point is exactly the same for both audio and video ...

  • How do I synchronise audio and video with an mpg file created in elements 11 ?

    How do I synchronise audio and video with an mpg file created in Premier Elements 11 ?
    The source files are VOB files, and there is no problem with those source files.  But after creating the mpg file, the audio can be out of sync by 1 second or even 10 seconds, and sometimes zero seconds (ie perfectly OK).  That varies.  The variation might be linked to some of the VOB files.  ie. some are OK, and some are not.
    Can I fix this automatically in Elements 11, or am I doing something wrong ?

    Hartwood,
    First, Premiere (both Pro and Elements) do not handle MPEG Audio perfectly - they like some files, but not all files with MPEG Audio. That makes a VOB a less-than-perfect source file. Still, with a bit of work, one should be able to edit it just fine. One of the factors is that there is a very slight block-size difference between the Encoded Video Stream and the Encode Audio Stream in a muxed MPEG-2 file. That often does not play into things, but can cause slight OOS (Out of Sync) issues. Also, both Premieres need to create all I-Frame files for the Video Stream, which is in GOP (Group of Pictures) structure, so what one sees on the Timeline is really a proxy of the MPEG-2 file's Video Stream. The Audio Stream must also be Conformed to PCM/WAV @ 48KHz 32-bit floating point, to be edited. That Conforming is perfect when one has PCM/WAV @ 48KHz 16-bit for the Audio Stream, but requires more work, when the Audio Stream is MPEG (one reason that some MP3's do not work well in Premiere). Several factors involved here, and a fair amount of work for the program. That is why DV-AVI Type II w/ 48KHz 16-bit PCM/WAV Audio works so perfectly.
    Now, fixing OOS might be easy, or might require a bit more work. This article goes into some workflows, that might be helpful: http://forums.adobe.com/thread/436751?tstart=0
    I can feel your pain, as I almost went crazy trying to fix OOS in a client's Project. They ONLY had the finished DVD, from which to work. The disc met the DVD-standards, so everything ripped/Imported fine, and when the simple edits were done (IIRC, there were four scenes, that had to be shortened, and then several Titles added), everything played fine in the Timeline. However, when I Transcoded that Timeline to be authored in Adobe Encore, two scenes went OOS. I went back to Premiere, and checked - all perfect there. I tried to judge the number of Frames that the Audio was out, in those scenes, and nudged them, tested, nudged, tested, and no matter what I did, I could never get the output files perfect, when Imported into Encore for authoring to DVD-Video. I tried DV-AVI, and letting Encore set the Transcoding automatically (usually a great way to work), I tried manually setting the Transcoding in Encore. I tried outputting to MPEG-2 from Premiere, and Importing that. No matter what I did, those two scenes were just OOS, and I could not even seem to improve them - it was like they were just locked OOS. I finally did some more editing, to break things up a bit, added a cut-away shot here, and there, and minimized the perceived OOS, but could never get it perfect. It was like trying to pick up quicksilver with a pair of tweezers!

  • OT: What viewers do you need to use ALL audio and video files?

    I had a lot of trouble with audio and video files on my PC. I
    now have a
    MacBook Pro, which is a big improvement. But I still
    frequently
    encounter files that I can't use. I try to open them, but
    Apple doesn't
    know what to do with them. For example, I often encounter
    unusable
    videos while perusing news websites. I also have some audio
    files with
    .mva or .mvw extensions that don't work.
    So what viwers/players do I need to download in order to be
    able to play
    every audio/video file that comes my way? iTunes handles .mp3
    files, and
    I also have QuickTime installed. I just viewed another video
    after I
    installed a Flash plugin. What else do I need to install?
    Thanks.

  • Convert to MPEG2 Combined Audio and Video

    I am editing a commercial that needs to end up in MPEG2 with combined audio and video. What is the process by which I do this. Obviously compressor splits the audio and video, but I need it combined.

    Been there, done that.
    I know the layout of Compressor 2 was different - can't remember if these presets were added for 3. Have you looked for Program Stream presets under Compressor 2?
    Here's a thread I found on the Cow - says that after you use Compressor 2.3 to create your MPEG and AUDIO files, use MPEG Streamclip to mux them.

  • Playing audio and video files in JSF (.wav,.mp3)

    Hi,
    I would like to know how to play audio and video files such as .wav,.mp3 in jsf .
    could any one please post the code for playing the wav files.
    Thanks,

    There is no JSF component to do this, so you would have to write your own custom component to render an <object ...> element.
    Or, you can use <f:verbatim> wrapped around an html <object ...> element.

  • Combined Audio and Video bitrate question

    When combining audio and video, how does the bitrate of the audio affect the calculation of the total bitrate? If I set my video compression bitrate at 5.5/7.5, how should those numbers be altered if I have, say, two Dolby Digital 2.0 streams at 192kbs each and a 5.1 surround stream at 448kbs?

    From the DVD Studio Pro User Manual (p. 43):
    Beware of Setting Your Bit Rate Too High
    You will find that with some DVD projects, the content easily fits on the disc, and you may be tempted to use the highest video bit rate available. While higher bit rates produce better quality, you must take into account other factors before deciding to use the maximum allowable value.
    The maximum video bit rate allowed on SD-based DVDs is 9.8 Mbps, but rarely is that practical to use since DVD players support combined video, audio, and subtitle bit rates of up to 10.08 Mbps. For HD-based DVDs, the maximum video bit rate is 29.4 Mbps for HD assets and 15.0 Mbps for any SD assets used in an HD project, with an overall maximum bit rate of 30.24 Mbps.
    In practice, you should be conservative when determining how high of a bit rate to allow for. Trying to squeeze out the highest possible bit rate for your project can lead to player compatibility and disc space issues. A general recommendation is to not exceed 9.2 Mbps for the combined video and audio bit rates when authoring SD projects, or 29 Mbps when authoring HD projects.
    Important: If you are building your project and DVD Studio Pro detects that the bit rate of the multiplexed stream is too high, the build stops and an error message appears.
    Using PCM or AC-3 Audio
    A single PCM audio stream using typical settings (as produced with the embedded AIFF encoder) requires 1.536 Mbps, which leaves an absolute maximum bit rate for the video in an SD project of around 8.54 Mbps. If there are two PCM audio streams, 3.07 Mbps must be allowed for the audio, leaving just 7.01 Mbps for the video.
    Note: Even though you can only play one audio stream at a time, the bit rates of all audio streams must be added together when determining the overall bit rate for a track. Similarly, all subtitle streams must be added together and added to the overall bit rate.
    Using AC-3 audio in place of the PCM audio leaves far more room for the video bit rate. Stereo AC-3 audio using typical settings requires only about 224 kbps—using two stereo AC-3 streams in place of the PCM audio leaves about 9.6 Mbps for the video.
    See “Calculate the audio allowances” on page 636 for more information about allowances for other audio formats.
    Hope this helps
    Good luck!

  • Is it possible to play audio and video files(urls) directly in webView ?

    Hello Everybody,
    I have implemented one article page in webView. The content of the that page is html file. There are some links for audio and video files. Is it possible to play that links directly in that webView by clicking them?
    Or is there any other way to play this files?
    Any kind of information on this topic is highly appreciated.
    Thanks,
    Pandit Pakhurde

    Is it important that the music come from a video, or are you just looking to listen to music in the background, while doing something else.  If the later, you can certainly play music from the Music App, Pandora, or iHeart Radio, etc., and with the music playing, tap your home button to go to your home page and open anything else you want and the music will continue.
    I don't have any videos to try out right now, but you try the same thing out and if the music continues, it works.  If it doesn't, it doesn't.

  • Windows audio and video files

    I have received a .wmv video file as an email attachment. When I open it, it is the code which comes up. So far I have been unable to play it in either itunes or Quicktime. The mac Help informs me that the Imac can handle all windows generated audio and video files. What do I need to do to play the file?

    What you need is the Flip4Mac plugin for QuickTime:

  • Separate audio from video - I want BOTH an audio and video file

    Hi,
    I would like to separate audio from video - I want BOTH an audio and video file.
    I don't think this can be done without additional software, but if it can, pointing me in the right direction would be much appreciated.
    Brandon

    You need Quicktime 7.6 Pro. Control+J to bring up the property window. In the property window is an extract button. Click on either the video or audio and click to the extract button.
    You'll find Quicktime 7 in your Utilities folder. If Quicktime 7 isn't install in the Utilities folder you need to install it from you OS installation disk, in the optional installations folder.
    If you don't have Quicktime Pro you need to buy it from the Apple store.

  • Synchronizing several audio and video files automatically in premiere?

    Hi there!
    I'm working on a short film shot on the Arri Alexa, and all my audio is on seperate audiofiles, though synced through time code. So I'm wondering: In Premiere CC, is there a way to automatically synchronize several audio- and video files, using timecode (as you can in Avid), without having to merge them individaully? THis would save me a lot of time.

    You can try using the "create multicamera sequence" command. That will create "multiclips" of your footage with its related audio. It can sync with timecode or use the audio for synchronization. When you need to export the edit for color grading, you can select all of them and choose multicamera>flatten. But beware that if you apply effects, such as speed ramp or intrinsic effects, those will be removed on a "flatten" command.

  • Capture audio and video files to seperate files

    Forum,
    Having suffered problems with OS 10.5 and Quicktime 7.4.1 I have done a clean install with 10. 4 .11.
    When I select capture the following notice appears
    "Audio only capture selected,video preview disabled"
    In system settings "capture audio and video to seperate files " is NOT checked.
    But that may not mean the same as the statement in in the capture window.
    I have searched HELP and a book called" Optimizing your Final Cut Pro System" but can not find an answer.
    Advice would be appreciated.
    Thank you
