Overview

The following article will show a step by step guide on how to use iDealshare VideoGo to solve all the following adding audio to video situations:

Add audio to a soundless video

For example:

  • I have an MP4 video file created from images and would like to add mp3 sound to it.
  • I want to add an audio.m4a soundtrack to a soundless video.mov file.

Add second/additional/multiple audio track into a video file

  • For example of adding another audio track to MKV: I have an English language movie in MKV format. I do have the same movie in different language (say dubbed with Urdu language) and in same (MKV) or different (AVI, RMVB etc) format. What I want is single video file (having the better quality) and two audio tracks (English+Urdu). In my case, the video quality of MKV files is better so I would like to get the Urdu audio track from the other (avi, rmvb or mkv) file and add (or merge or whatever it is called) it to the MKV file of English language. In this way I would get video of the best quality along with choice of selecting between the audio tracks (either English or Urdu).
  • Add multiple audio tracks into a MKV video file, and play MKV with different audio track in different need and situations.
  • I want to add a WMA audio to a WMV video file.
  • So I have an MP4 video which includes a 5.1 audio stream, while I only have stereo speakers from my computer. It is hooked up to my receiver through the audio out (headphone) jack from the back of the machine. Anyway, I have a stereo audio stream for the video, but I can't figure out how to add the M4A stream to the MP4 .
  • Is there any way to add AAC audio to MP4 or MOV without re encoding the video file?
