Re: [Audacity-devel] Converting video from English to another Language

[Reid Z. <re...@gm...>]

If you do want to split and then rejoin the audio from the video, you'll
need some video software to do that. The reason is because Audacity doesn't
edit video, only audio. So you can use Audacity with
ffmpeg<http://lame1.buanzo.com.ar/> to
import the audio from the video, you can export as a wav
file<http://audacity.sourceforge.net/manual-1.2/fileformats.html>,
but then you will need to use another program to combine it back with the
video.
One program you could use would be SUPER<http://www.erightsoft.com/SUPER.html>,
which will let you mux the video and audio streams back into one finished
file.
