Hi All,

Neverthought that it would happen, but a severe thunderstorm resulted in a power outage.

At the destination drive, I have the following:

video.mp4 file that I can playback for the entire video, but no audio
nameofsavedfile.mp4.aac file that I can playback for the entire audio
nameofsavedfile.mp4 that I cannot playback using VLC media player.

When I got the power outage, I think that the encoding was almost done from a source .avi file (gopro footage exported in archival format using gopro studio).

My guess is that VD was merging or combining the video.mp4 with the nameofsavedfile.mp4.aac into nameofsavedfile.mp4 when the power outage happend, as the file size of nameofsavedfile.mp4 kept on increasing.

I tried using VD to import the .aac file but VD doesn't seem to support that format, so I am thinking of using MeGUI to put the two files together.

Anybody have any suggestions? It was at the end of a 12-hour encoding project.

Much thanks.

It sounds like this batch file will do it; save as "nameofsavedfile-mux.bat" in your output directory:
CODE
"C:\ffmpeg\ffmpeg.exe" ^
-i "video.mp4" ^
-i "nameofsavedfile.mp4.aac" ^
-r XXXX -c:v copy -c:a copy -map 0:0 -map 1:0 ^
-f mp4 "nameofsavedfile-muxed.mp4"
if ERRORLEVEL 1 pause


Replace "-r XXXX" with your video framerate, eg "-r 25", and use full file paths as needed.

Much thanks! I had to look up how to make a batch file - soo easy - and download ffmpeg.exe and this worked perfectly! Didn't take hours, either!
