MakeMKV lets you mix and match files into a video container, so you can put a different audio track or sub track into the video.
You might have trouble with the sync if things don't start at exactly the same time, but I think there are offset settings in there somewhere.
Yeah, pretty sure that can be done with SMPlayer too, at least with the animes I watch there are sometimes multiple audio tracks to choose from.
Pretty sure ffmpeg lets you extract audio channels from a video and even add them. You can probably look up the commands online, I don't remember off the top of my head
To show all stream:
ffprobe -i FILE
Select stream number with your audio.
To get stream X into AUDIO:
ffmpeg -i FILE -map X -c copy AUDIO
To put AUDIO onto FILE:
ffmpeg -i FILE -i AUDIO -c copy OUTPUT
If FILE only has 1 video and 1 audio, to replace FILE audio with AUDIO:
ffmpeg -i FILE -i AUDIO -map 0:v -map 1:a -c copy OUTPUT
Yes, absolutely, but not in an automated way. Remuxers do this sometimes. They compare video, audio and subtitles from multiple releases and select the best one and frame sync them. However, the sync process is very manual and there are cases when different releases have different cuts, leading audio is in sync at the beginning but went out of sync later on, ruining the whole experience.
False. You can easily automate this with ffmpeg. It'll just suck unless you know the cue points :p
That said, you could probably cook something up using OpenAI's whisper (or something more recent; i'm not terribly familiar with transcription; or local models in general tbh) which you can run locally to get time stamps and then cut up and match starting points. Could be a fun project.
I do this with MKVToolNix, as long as the source and destination files are the same "cut" it will line up.
The other answers have already been helpful, so I wanted to ask, why do you have/want a video collection? Can't you just delete it and download it again once you want to watch it again?
You can only rely on ready availability for certain shows/movies that are popular at the moment. Lots of stuff fades away over time. There's some shows/movies that sit in the download queue for months (or still counting) for lack of seeds, and re-searching finds nothing. Sometimes even finding a single torrent is difficult or impossible. My Wanted lists in sonarr/radarr have many items where no torrent is ever found. Nobody is interested in them I guess. I'm sure they're out there somewhere. Once I finally get my hands on them, I will only want to delete if it's crap. I'd say about half my collection is fairly easy to replace and the other half was some kind of effort/luck to track down and might not be found again.
And I don't feel like watching things right away after I get them, or doing work and waiting every time I want to watch something. Sometimes I hear about media, download it, then don't watch for a while.
But it's fine not to keep drives full of media if you don't want to. Especially now with streaming torrents and stuff, it is very flexible. If your taste is coinciding with people who seed torrents, then you are in luck. There have been millions of TV shows and movies produced, it is much broader.
And I guess it is kind of a hobby. :)
