Question / Help Video Editing Recorded Streams

[GnomekPL]

I'm running 0.47 Alpha OBS, and when I'm finished streaming, I get mp4 file with recorded stream as my setting says so.
When I try to run it through Adobe Premiere Pro CS5.5, or Sony Vegas 12 or Movie Maker I don't get sound from the stream.
Only option is to encode video again through Any Video Converter, and then edit it through Movie Maker, wich is quite painfull.
Is there any solution ?

There is no need to encode the video again when you just need the audio track.
Are you using mp3 or aac audio in your videos?

You could get a mp4 plugin to VirtualDub and save the audio track as .wav file.

Or you can select "direct stream copy" as video compression and select a new audio codec or leave it uncompressed PCM, then save it to .avi file.
This method does not recompress the video.

I'm using mp3

Okay then, so its not a codec problem if mp3 wont run.

If you are feeling lazy you can allways create a .bat script for ffmpeg to convert your files to a format that will surely run, no recompression and its damn fast.

You will need the latest ffmpeg build for your OS from http://ffmpeg.org
Put the ffmpeg.exe and all the files you need to convert to a folder.
Open notepad and copypaste this:

@echo off
for %%A IN (*.mp4) DO ffmpeg -i "%%A" -vcodec copy -ar 44100 -acodec pcm_s16le -copyts "%%~nA".avi
done

Save it to the same folder with .bat file extension and select "all files" and click save.

Now in your folder should be your problematic .mp4 files, ffmpeg.exe and your script.bat
Double click the .bat file and a command line will open and process all your .mp4 files to .avi
The video will be untouched, audio will be 16bit uncompressed pcm 44.1khz and it also syncs audio timestamps just incase the source video is in variable framerate.

Using command line or scripts for ffmpeg is the best way in this case. You can get exactly what you want and this script will convert all .mp4 in the folder to .avi with just a double click. It is also possible to get just the audio track in a .mp3 or .wav file etc. There are some many things ffmpeg can do.

mp3 output is not supported by most of those apps. you'll probably have to use AAC instead. also, if you have any video issues, try out "Use CFR" in advanced for your local recordings.
