Replacing audio in a video file

[arjue]

Ok, I got these videos of a band playing live, but the audio is fucking awful (cam mic near the stage = evil distortion). I want to sync it up with an audio bootleg I have.

Any ideas on how to do this?

I'm not sure if these rules apply on a PC, but on a Mac you can use QuickTime to seperate the audio and video tracks of certain movies and then replace the audio on a movie. What format is the movie file in?

Another alternative is send it to me and I'll sync it up in iMovie.

with replacing the audio, do I have to snip it to the same length first? or can I just lay the longer audio file over the video and then trim it back?

[Calliander]

If it's just Quicktime, you'll have to take note of when it should start in the video and then snip the audio first.

gah, what a pain in the ass.

the audio os from a completely different show, so its gonna be tedious work...
