Getting audio into movie
September 7th, 2013
try AVIsemux
open the file in it and select the AC3 file thro the “audio” menu
What type of video containers do the Movies have? MKV, avi etc
I would be very surprised to see Movies with separate audio files, that is not something that is usually done. Try MediaInfo and see what it shows for the Movie. It’s possible that you are missing a codec so the audio doesn’t play.
Oh thank God. That worked.

MKV. It only had the video and no audio. MediaInfo didn’t show anything under “audio codec” tho. If you’re curious tho.. here’s all the info MediaInfo showed me

I’m surprised to see that because it doesn’t make much sense to upload a video with no included audio.
If you open the MKV using MKVMerge GUI which is part of the MKVToolnix package you can add the audio using that and save it out under a new name.
