How To Replace/add Audio Without Re-encoding Video

[sorrowman]

I've been getting into the video editing a bit lately, and to put my skills to the test a bit and to enhance some bootleg video's for my own personal enjoyment I want to add/replace the audio of a certain vid with a newer/better quality audio source.

Sofar I know how to do it with Ulead, but the downside of it that I need to re-encoded the whole videofile to finally put the new audio in it, thus leading to quality-loss.

However I've read multiple stories about people adding/replacing audio without the need to re-encode the whole VIDEO....so put the a new videofile together where JUST the new audio is added but the video it self remains unchanged.

How do I do this, which tools do I need, how to I synch the audio once it's in there.....

can somebody help me out a bit? I would appreciate it VERY much

THX in advance

First Demux the video. Edit like normally, but when you are done, DONT OUTPUT THE VIDEO. Just the Audio and then merge the audio and video together in dvd authoring software. Simple as that.

With what....can it be done with software I already own..such as Ulead....or do I need special software to be able to be-mus the audio?
