This means that I have two sources - one attached to the video, and one separate audio stream. It's not practical for me to plug the sound system into the video camera (although that would be ideal) because I move around too much, and a cable would be ... not practical :) And there are some "room noises" that the video camera picks up that a directional mic doesn't. aaaaanyway... I've just started using audacity to edit the "nice" audio, and add some simple effects, and I want to recombine that with the video, so that I have the nice audio + video. So I would require a program to do the following 1. line up video and audio from separate files 2. adjust the position of the audio frame by frame, so that I can get as-perfect-as-possible lip sync! 3. video and audio not necessarily the same length 4. mpeg or dvd compatible output 5. mix two (or more?) audio sources into one audio+video file, with some simple crossfade 6. Open software would be ideal (linux of course!), followed by closed-but-minimal-cost, followed by closed-costly-but-so-excellent-I-have-to-have-it! If there is a choice, I would prefer that the video is left as unaltered as possible by this program, to avoid going through too many conversions. I don't need any fancy editing or effects, I have other programs to do that! Any suggestions? I have been looking on google, but there are so many bad shareware programs that my results get flooded with rubbish! TIA, -- Iain Buchanan "Can you program?"
