Unhappy Problem with RAD Video Tools

Hi there everyone,


This forum helped me many times and now I also require help.


A weird problem occured in RAD Video Tools while I tried reducing the video BIK files size.


I suppose that many of You know that some of the bik files have multiple audio tracks and to reduce the filesize You must first reduce the video, strip the sound tracks from the original files and mix them to concrete track ID's on the modified video files.


As if the method worked for AC2 and ACB (2 and brotherhood) I wanted to do the same for ACR and AC3 (Revelations and Assassins Creed 3), In both of them the method instead of mixing the sound to concrete Track ID's RADVT mixes them into Track 0.


For me the steps are:
1. Compress the video to a 60% of the Original
2. Strip the concrete track ID's to files named "filename_x.wav" where filename is the concrete bik file name and x is the track ID.
3. Mix the sound tracks "Filename_x.wav" with "filename_x.bik" and name the final file "filename_y.bik" where "y=x+1" (yes the final file is a number hier than the previous one).


In the third step there is the problem. While the last bik file should have tracks from 0-z where for example of the "previouslyon.bik" file the number of tracks is 11 (so the file has tracks from 0-10) there is only one track in "previouslyon_11.bik" and it is Track 0.


The question is how Can I repair it, it worked fine.


Checked on two computers and on a virtual machine and on all of them there is a problem with this...


Answering the questions like "Why don't You use the bik compressor instead of RAD Video Tools?", I'd like to create a possibility for myself to choose wether I'd like to install a modified video package or an original one.
