Video Sequence Audio Export Help(Windows)

Support Compositing and Post Processing
1

Hello. I have a question. I am doing a lip sync test in blender, and I need some help. I imported the audio file and scene into the sequencer. I also set the renderer to render sequences. However, when I render the file, their is no audio. Is their a reason for this, or is it not possible to render a video from blender with audio, what.
Thanks
Bruce

Choose a file format that containerizes audio. these are the FFMPEG settings.

as papa said: use ffmpeg. i’d suggest to set video to xvid (6000-8000 bitrate) and audio to mp2 (don’t forget to enable “multiplex”. that is the one setting that really works rock-solid for me, if i want audio and video. the shortcoming of xvid is that you can’t re-import xvid-files into blender. you’d have to convert it to .avi with mjpeg-codec first.
so: does anybody have other ffmpeg-codec-setting-advice? all the other combinations seem to produce errors. what’s your favorite ffmpeg-setting?

Sweet. I do have one question though, how do I install ffmpeg on my computer. Sadly, I do run windows.

FFMPEG is compiled/integrated with Blender.

I found it, sorta. I have blender 2.43 set as the installed blender on my computer. I do have 2.45 and 2.46 RC1 folders on my HD, and on my dock for easy acess. However, is their a way to transfer the codec to 2.43, which I cant seem to find it

The codecs are part of your system registry, like core OS routines kinda. They can be anywhere, and the system knows where to find them when they are needed. Blender does not bundle the codecs themselves, but makes a call to your OS to query which ones are available and passes it off to them to handle. I think FFMPEG was first bundled sometime around 2.43, which is over a year old. You should be using 2.45. Upgrades are free today.

That is true. I SHOULD be using 2.45, but I have always had trouble importing .obj and .3ds files into 2.45, and they worked fine in 2.43(even though I haven’t imported one in ages lol). Anyway, I was able to render an animation, but I did have one trouble. And yes, how it looks in youtube is exactly how it looked in quicktime, wmp, and VLC. Any suggestions?
