notamember 667 Posted March 23, 2014 Share Posted March 23, 2014 I clipped the video down to only the G.U.Y. part (For those who want a shortened video). I also added the audio track from the album to replace the audio from the video. In 1080p.

dy2light 28 Posted March 23, 2014 Share Posted March 23, 2014 Honey, you didn't mux ALAC into MP4. You muxed in AAC, which is a lossy format. ALAC, as far as I know, can't actually be muxed into mp4 files. Wherever I look, I see that it just isn't supported... (And note: ALAC ≠AAC) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

(And note: ALAC ≠AAC) Well, then it converted it in some process...because I definitely used G.U.Y..m4a (Apple Lossless) Apple Lossless shows up as .m4a, like AAC does.

Well, you CAN actually mux ALAC into a .MOV file :) and yeah that can be confusing... Try muxing into a .mov file. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well the thing is, how will I know if it's converted it down to a lossy format? The program didn't tell me that the audio file wasn't supported with the video file type. I know that I used the lossless format at first, so I'm not sure how it ended up being AAC.. I'll try that! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

So, I tried mixing it to a .mov file and it seems to be working, only problem is it wants to make the entire project an .mp4. Will this result in the same thing?

Will this result in the same thing? uhh no. .mp4 cannot hold ALAC audio. There's a couple of easy ways to ensure that what you're muxing in is ALAC and not AAC: 1) ALAC files will be significantly larger than AAC 2) You can always use some sort of program to identify the kind of audio file it is (and its codec). Also, make sure that your program is set to NOT re-encode or transcode the audio. That could be an issue. And I will say it again: mp4 files CANNOT hold ALAC audio streams.

Alright, I'll have to use another program then. It's really the program I'm using that's causing the issue, so I'll use Adobe's Video Editing software instead. I'll do it tomorrow. Thank you for your help :) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maxxie 37 Posted March 23, 2014 Share Posted March 23, 2014 About the audio... decode the ALAC to PCM WAV and then recompress that to FLAC. Every part of this process is lossless so you will lose nothing. That FLAC will happily go into MKV easily. Or the WAV could go into MKV or MP4 as well.
