I record StarCraft 2 matches with Fraps. Fraps gets the video and game sounds, and I record my commentating with Audacity because it gives better voice quality.

I added in my voice audio from a separate WAV file by going to Audio -> Audio From Other File and selecting it. But when I finished processing the video, all I could hear was my audio with no game sounds. How can I add audio in without overwriting the audio already in the file?

Thanks for any help! This is bumming me out.

NOTE: I had it set on "Direct Stream Copy" and not "Full Processing Mode", and I was using the x264 video codec. I had no audio compression settings on. Do I need them?

In audacity:
File > Import audio (select both tracks).
Edit > Select all.
(Optional) Effects > Normalize..
Tracks > Mix & Render.
File > Export.

The audio is part of the video file, so I can't import it into audacity. Fraps records my game sounds and the video into one file.

Is there no way to overlap audio in VirtualDub?

EDIT: Just found the save as WAV option, so I got the sound and combined them in audacity. Now processing a video to see if it works. Thanks for the idea!

Also, I know that if the libraries are installed Audacity can open many video files - not fraps???

Now I seem to be having sync issues. TT It makes no sense to me because my audio file is the exact length of my video, ergo it should be in sync, but it isn't. Is this because I am adding in the audio with no codec?

If the async is fixed (not gradually changing) it can be adjusted in VirtualDub: Audio > Interleaving > Skew.
Insert a plus or minus value.
