How to play a video with a different audio track?
You can use VLC to remove the default audio (Media -> Convert/Save...; Check Video and Keep original video track in the profile options, uncheck Audio. Use a new profile to leave other settings intact!).
VLC can open additional audio at Media -> Advanced Open File... -> Show more options.
Download: VLC media player
Using the instructions from Tamschi, on this page, I was able to do a one-shot play of a video with another file as its audio track. The following instructions do not make any permanent changes.
I tested this with VLC on Windows 10, though every VLC running anywhere should work exactly the same.
For many alternate audio tracks, I believe you would select more than one audio track at step 11. I did not have more than one audio track to test this with.
- Launch VLC, or open your video file in VLC
- Media > Open Multiple Files
- (The "Open Media" window)
- Add your main video file
- (The file selection window)
- Click "Show more options" at the lower-left
- Click "Play another media synchronously" just underneath
- Click "Browse" to the right
- (The "Open Media" window)
- Add your audio file
(The file selection window)
- Only select that audio file, and not more than one file.
- Do not select the video track.
Click "Select" at the bottom-right
(You will now see all three fields filled out)
- Click "Play" at the bottom-right
- Do not click the down-arrow next to "Play".
- Your video will begin playing. Pause it.
Right-click in the video > Audio > Audio Track
- Your new audio track will appear in the list of audio tracks. Select it.
- Play your video.
It may take a few moments of play for VLC to get things sorted out. You may see video corruption or stuttering. Be patient!
