    Hi, I have two avi copies of a film - one has rubbish embedded subtitles, which mess up any more I put on there, and the other is already dubbed into some weird language. Does anyone know how to take the video from one and the audio from the other?

    Great site btw, thanx

    Assumes that both files are the same running time.

    Run VirtualDub.
    Drag the one with the good audio (bad video)onto VirtualDub.
    Click 'Audio' > 'Full Processing Mode' > 'Compression' > 'No Compression' > 'OK'
    Click 'File' > 'Save WAV' - give it a name.

    Drag the one with the bad audio (good video) onto VirtualDub.
    Click 'Audio' > 'WAV Audio' - load the WAV that you saved.
    Click 'Video' > 'Direct Stream Copy'
    Click 'File' > 'Save as AVI' - give it a new name.

    My post was referring to plain old VirtualDub.

    VirtualDubMod, the audio is listed under the 'Streams' tab.

    Since you're here, thanks alot again, but like you said it assumes they are the same time and they're not - is there any thing I can do about this? I'll try doing it, but it might not be finished by time you go to bed so if you know something say now cheers

    If the good parts are identical as to frame size, aspect ratio, video and audio compression etc (and you will know if they are when you try to load them), then drag the first part onto the VDub window, then click 'File' 'Append', browse to part 2 and see if it will accept it without error.
    If it does, you can save the file.
    Set 'Video' to direct stream copy - so that it won't try to recompress them.(at this stage you could click 'no audio' because you aren't going to use it anyway?)

    Thanks, I tried it and its rubbish, but Im very grateful for your help still. for some reason the good video is twenty minutes longer and I can't find why, unless theres twenty minutes of extra scenes in it, doubtful, or somethings weird. And the audio is quite bumpy when used again. But ill investigate tonight. Thanks again anyway
