Software question

[pjpjpjpj]

Is there freeware out there that can take two copies of a movie and grab the audio from one and the video from the other and combine them into a single output file?

For instance, if I download a 1080p version of a movie from PlayOn (limited to stereo), and I already own the DVD and have it in SD but DD5.1 sound, I would like to take the 1080p from the downloaded file and the 5.1 sound from the DVD rip and combine them into a 1080p/DD5.1 movie.

Is there freeware that can do this easily (and well)?

I think VideoReDo does this but you have to pay for that. But sometimes the timing could get slightly off as one of the files might be running a bit fast.

ffmpeg also allows you to demux both videos and then mux the streams you want into one video file. ffpmg is a little cryptic to use. An alternative I have used recently is MP4box. There are also GUIs for MP4box if you do not like command line parameters.

MakeMKV has freeware and "deluxe" paid versions that will apply MKV wrapper to some video formats.

Once in MKV format, MVKToolNix can mix & match video, subs & audio as needed. Be aware of differing frame rates between 2 source files, as stretching/compressing may be needed to match in target output.

Videohelp is a great resource for finding more obscure tools.

Thanks, all! I will check these out.
