I was able to get the high-resolution video clip of Me and My Cronies, synced up with the high-resolution audio recorded on the Zoom H2, and both to upload to Vimeo. They're here: http://vimeo.com/2519799 and here http://vimeo.com/2519825 Funny how the Zoom that they're recorded on is visible in the video, but neither were synced up or otherwise connected until I imported the tracks in Ardour. So that'll solve the "AGC pumping" problem Frank noted. Sound quality is much nicer. Vimeo is great, but there's one slight annoyance: uploading to it requires Flash, which I despise, and which doesn't work with the free Flash swfdec package in Debian. Process used to sync the video to a Zoom H2 44.1/16 audio file: 1) mplayer -ao pcm:file=bad-audio.wav original-video.avi 2) mencoder -nosound -ovc copy -o muted-video.avi original-video.avi 3) Open an Ardour project and import the high-resolution WAV (from the Zoom) and the bad-audio.wav file. 4) Visually and aurally sync up the two audios-- easy at extreme +/- zoom levels. 5) Mute the "bad-audio" track. 6) Line up the start and end with the start and end of the "bad-audio" track (or use regions). Adjust the left/right panning to match that of the video if they're reversed (it was in this case). 7) Export the audio to highres-audio.wav (or regions). 8) lame -cbr 192 -m s -h highres-audio.wav 9) avimerge -o synced-video.avi -i muted-video.avi -p highres-audio.wav.mp3 10) mencoder synced-video.avi -o synced-video-small.avi -oac copy -ovc xvid -xvidopts bitrate=1500 (or do a two-pass version). 11) Find a machine with an Adobe Flash player, and upload the video to Vimeo. -ken _______________________________________________ Linux-audio-user mailing list Linux-audio-user@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://lists.linuxaudio.org/mailman/listinfo/linux-audio-user
