[Happy]

whats the best program to record sound from a VCR by connecting the audio
cable from the VCR to the Line-In on the sound card.

this is what im trying to do

i want try capture the tape version, take a video editor and replace the
digital
version's audio with that captured from the taped version.

anyone know the name of the video editor for doing this?

i have a movie on my computer that speaks other language that i do not
understand but its picture is amazingly nice .

....and i have the same movie on tape and its picture is really low but i can
understand the language it's speaking.

how can i record the sound of the movie on the tape and imported
into the movie that i have on my computer?

The existing format of the movie on my computer is in Japanese and it is in
..rmvb file
and the language of the movie on tape is in English.

the lenght of the movie on the tape is only a few minutes more than the
version
i have on my PC but i will not record the unneeded though.

please help

Hi there Happy. When I want to record something coming thru my sound card
on the computer, I use a program called 'Total Recorder'. The Standard
Edition is only $11.95 and the Professional Edition is $35.95......see it at
the home page at www.highcriteria.com You can then
take the resulting sound file and put it on the movie. If you use Movie
Maker you can 'import' your original movie on your computer, drag it to the
timeline, and then MUTE the sound. Save your movie file (UNDER A NEW NAME
without the sound).....then 'import' that new file into movie maker and drag
to the timeline, and then you can 'import' the new audio you made in English
and drag it to the audio line. Then it is a matter of lining up your new
audio with the video as you watch it in the preview screen.
There may be other ideas, but I thought i'd give you a quick start. Total
Recorder is a handy program for other things too....I often use it to record
songs off my digital cable programming audio...very high quality to it.
Good luck!

You can save one step from dickmr's otherwise perfect tutorial.
It really isn't necessary to save the movie after muting the sound. You can
mute the sound (located in the "audio" area of the timeline) as he says and
then import your captured audio file and drag it to the "Audio/Music" area
for easier editing. This will save a lot of unnecessary rendering time.
Good luck with syncing the lips to the audio since they are from two
different sources though. That would be fun to watch.

You are right Wojo...what was I thinking! ha ha ha

I figure syncing the lips with the sound is not too important, since
the sound is English and the lips be moving in Japanese.....close should count
in horseshoes, but in this case also!

However, it could be a problem if a door slams and then the sound is heard one
second later.....I would explain that to my viewers as the doppler effect!

The door slamming or "dopler effect" is exactly what I was thinking about
when I pictured the op trying to sync the audio from one source to the video
from another. :-)
