Help Please I Can't Get Any Sound Combining Video With MP3

Postby Audiophile551 » 20 Jan 2024 19:23

Hi,

I am new here, and desperately trying to learn the ropes.

I'm using VLC Player trying to make an MP4 by combining a video with an mp3 audio track, and although the video copies, the audio track will not attach to the video.

Do any of you know how to do this using VLC?

Thanks so much.

Steve

Thanks so much for your reply.

Here's exactly what I am doing. When you get to the veryy end of what I typed--where I typed "Click on "Start"- this will open the media player. This is where I run into the problem with the "" The output file already exists. If recording continues, the file will be overridden, and its contents will be lost." Two tabs are included.
One reads "Overwrite", the other one reads "Keep existing File". Popping up on the screen. See below:
---------------------------
Open VLC player Click on "Media"Click on "Convert/Save""When list of available videos opens, ,click on "Add"Click on the video you want to add the audio track tothen click on."Open" At the button of the window, click on "Play another media synchronously".  A new url appears, called "Extra Media"..  Besides that it says "Browse". Click on Browse. A new window opens.  Click on "+ Add". A list of your audio tracks will appear.  Click onthe track you want to synchronize with the video, then click on "Open". Your audio track will appear the tab next to the "+Add" tab.At the bottom of the window you're in, click on "Select".A new window opens. At the bottom of the window, click on "Convert/Save".  A new window opens. At the bottom of the window  is the "Destination File". Click "Browse".and a list of your audio tracks should appear. At the bottom of the window, type the name of your file., then on the left side of  the screen, click on where you want your video to go (Desktop, etc.), then click on "Save". A  new window will appear. At the bottom of the window, click on "Start".  This will open the VLC player progress window, where you can watch the progress of the video loading at the bottom of the player. 


Thanks so much.

Steve

Please open Tools -> Messages (set Verbosity to 2) before you start the conversion, and then paste the full resulting log here or on Pastebin.com or on Justpaste.it if it's too long.

Problem Solved. Thank you to the person who replied with instructions. I can't access your reply because
it was in the first thread I started when you responded, and it has been locked by the administrator because I "Crossposted".
I am hoping you know who you are, since yours was the only reply I received within that thread.

Thanks so much.

Steve
