How to Dub and Audio File into a Video using Mplayer

If you have a video that you want to change the audio with a given mp3, try this command:

mencoder original.wmv -oac copy -ovc copy -audiofile dub.mp3 -o new.wmv

where: |file|description| |—|—| |original.wmv|The original video to dub.| |dub.mp3|An audio file with the new audio. This file should be the same length as the video.| |new.wmv|The final video that is created.|

There will likely be a lot of messages that look like this:

These are just warnings, about something that will not prevent the conversion from completion. There may be thousands of these lines, but the conversion will eventually complete. Be patient.
