Rifftrax (Mike, Kevin, Bill) - Cloverfield

This is Cloverfield (2008, Paramount & Bad Robot) with hardcoded Rifftrax commentary by Mike Nelson, Kevin Murphy, and Bill Corbett of MST3K fame. The video is taken from FXG's release, e.g. cloverfield[2008]DvDrip[Eng]-FXG.avi. The audio was created using VirtualDub and MixMeister; VirtualDub to save a .wav from the source and to replace the source audio, MixMeister Studio to synch the film's audio with the Rifftrax audio. Instructions: MixMeister needs to be tweaked a bit to get this to work, I did it by selecting No Transition for both tracks & deleting all Measure Markers, cropping the Rifftrax audio, and then aligning the tracks. It is also essential to make the movie audio Track 1 and Rifftrax audio Track 2 if you do it this way. Then Export the MixMeister playlist as a single .wav file. Finally, replace the source audio with VirtualDub by loading up the original video and selecting options Video -> Direct Stream Copy & Audio -> WAV Audio (& choosing your Rifftraxed wav file, wherever you saved it) and Save as Avi.

It's much easier to use Goldwave with the voiceover plugin to mix the tracks.

Great work, bro! Marcus approves!

Frisky thanks for the advice and thanks for ID4 too! yay!
Marcus thanks for the compliments
I note with dismay that the audio is very slightly off the video, but this was the best I could do for a first attempt. I do not know why, maybe it is VirtualDub or maybe my computer is just too slow. I sometimes have that problem with VirtualDub. Any advice?
You are of course invited to do better. I found however that it doesn't matter so much this this movie lol, it even sort of enhances the found-video feel of it!
"I know what you were going to say, she was sleeping with the monster." lol!!!!

Thanks for this.
One note: please PLEASE do not jack the volume of the riffs over the volume of the movie; check that their respective volumes are near each other (as intended).
Playing many of the rifftrax from tpb through surround system results as too quite movie, too loud riffs and it's annoying.

The movie file is playable by VLC Player or Media Player Classic with the kmcp. The Rifftrax commentary can't be removed, if you want the original sound check out FXG's release or some other. If you want a DVD version you need to use TMPGEnc or some other mpeg encoder and dvd authoring program.
