Good Codec for Minecraft YouTube videos

Then right-click on the EXE, and choose "Run in XP-compatibilty mode" or something

( only now I notice you have the GRRRREEEAT and picky Windows 7 ).

Also, do not forget to run it as ADMINistrator.

XP Compatibility worked. (Windows XP gives that security pop-up too!) Also, when I extract the audio I get a weird matroska file (.mka). No idea how to use that. What am I doing wrong?

Edit: Windows 7's Read about this file type function has no idea what a mka file is

From the PDF:

3.1.6 Extracting Streams

You can right-click on an audio or subtitle streams. If AVI-Mux GUI supports extraction of
that stream to a separate file, the corresponding menu item will show up.

From the infamous "rtfm.txt":

Your mouse has a right button, so please use it!
Many features, like demuxing audio, setting AAC-sources to be HE-AAC,
setting default flags, are available through the right mouse button.

H.T.H.

P.S.: But now that you already have an MKA, you could also try this:

ffmpeg -i input.mka -acodec copy output.mp2

That MP2 file was a test, I need to merge the video clips together before I do it for real. Besides, no idea where I would type that code. Anyway, I reght clicked and extracted stream, and it extracted as .mp3, not .mp2. Is that right? Also, sometimes, maybe when it's done processing or when I click something, the name of the video file in the top box turns red. The first time I made an MKA, It got an error, which I wasn't able to read since I happened to be pressing spacebar when it popped up. I tried to replicate it again, but the second time there was no error with making an mka file.

I think I've got everything sorted out now:
1. Record audio and video
2. Crop, merge, and encode video clips with XViD default configuration
3. Extract audio form above with AVImux GUI
4. Edit microphone audio in Audacity
5. Merge audio tracks in Audacity [WAIT A MINUTE] how do I do that?
6. Put audio track back on video, using direct streamc copy
7. Upload to YouTube

How do you put multiple audio tracks into one file in Audacity? I know very little about Audacity...

OK, I think I've figured out how to do everything. I'll post back if I have any more problems. Thanks for the help El Heggunte!

Looks like I had a problem after all. In adition to normalize, export and pretty much every other menu option is grayed out. I tried selecting both (ctrl+a) and clicking on each track individually. They are different lengths if it matters. You should know the formats from MediaInfo.
What's grayed out:
Almost entire file menu
Entire effect menu
Most of Transport
All of Generate
All of analyze
none of help
A bit of view
About half of the rest

As I said before, me too knows nothing about Audacity , the only GUI-based editors I have are Wavosaur and Goldwave.

Anyway, if the tracks don't have the same length, you must add some silence to the short one (either at the beginning or at the end), so that you keep everything "in synch". Then you can mix and normalize.

Oh, you know nothing about Audacity? Oh well
I guess I need to make a new topic for that. Also, the lengths shouldn't have to be the same b/c I saw a tutorial where someone put a short song before their voice for a podcast.
Thx for all your help though!
