Little help

[Dr. Octagonapus]

Alright, basically what I need to know is some way to extract the audio from a video (completely remove it, making the video silent), edit the audio, and then put it back with the video. I can extract audio from a video and edit it just fine, but it doesn't actually remove the audio from the video, and I don't know how to put the edited audio with the video. Anybody know a program I can do this with?

Or actually, I use Acid Pro and Cool Edit Pro 2.0, anyone know a way to do it with either of those? Basically what I'm trying to do is fix up a video recording where the audio only comes out the right side.

I don't use either of those programs, but here's how I would do it.

Using VirtualDub, I'd create a copy of a video without sound by simply picking "Effects -> No sound". I'd then open up the original video in Goldwave, extract the audio, and save it as an mp3.

The only problem is reinserting the audio into the video. I can't do that with either of those programs. But if you sent me the video, I could definately make a soundless version of it. You'd just need to reimplement it into the video somehow.

Use Windows Movie Maker, if you have Windows XP. All you need to do is imports your editted sound and drag it onto the timeline. thjere is a setting where you can adjust the sound from coming from the audio or video.

Yeah, I just figured out how to do that with Movie Maker, but even saving at the highest quality on that reduces the quality from the original a little bit. Oh well, it's better than nothing.

If you have time and a big Harddrive you could save it as an AVI, (DVAVI- really big but good quality). Then you coulod use and conversion/compresson programs to deal reduce it. Of course, if you really wanted you could just leave it humongous but that would be VERY impratical.
