Recombining m2v and .aiff into a single QT file
I’ve got separate video and audio files in the above formats that were created for burning in DVD Studio Pro. I also want to take this files and combine them into a single QT file. When I bring the files into FCP 5, playback starts out fine, but invariably starts going out of sync. I can’t seem to bring the files into DVDSP either for recombining. The video is MJPG B 29.97, and audio is 16bit 48khz.
Suggesions? Thanks in advance.

Hey Les,
You’ll have to convert the m2v to an editable QT format using MPEG Streamclip, then put that and the aiff on the timeline. I think you’ll find that they play in sync at that point.

Hi Les,
If you got a MJPG B, you haven’t got a .m2v. “m2v” is an MPG2, but MJPG B is just a video codec (one of the many QT supported codecs).
To put together the video and the audio is very easy with QT player. Do this with copies of the two files:
– Open your movie with QT.
– Open your .aiff with QT.
– Select your .aiff and click Com-A (select all) and them, Com-C (Copy).
– Click your movie and Option-Comm-V (Add to movie).
Now you got the .aiff embed in the same file with the video. Play it and if is OK save it.
Should work fine like that.
You will get a MJPG B .mov with the original aiff audio. If you want to make a DVD, just bring that to DVDSTP or use Compressor.

I think you nailed it. The tracks are in sync throughout now. Many thanks

Thanks Rafael, but it didn’t work. Both audio & video would still drift out of sync. David Weiss’ solution did the trick.
