So, to add an audio track to a video move the video & audio files into "C:\MinGW\ffmpeg-0.8.5\ffmpeg\bin" (where the ffmpeg.exe is). Go to that directory in the MinGW shell and enter this (w/o quotes!): "ffmpeg -i video.mov -i audio.mp3 -vcodec copy -acodec copy -acodec copy destination.mov -newaudio"
It tells it to use 2 sources, to copy video & audio from the 1st one PLUS audio from the 2nd & throw them in the destination file. A new audio track is created with the "newaudio" flag at the end
good-to-know: MinGW should be installed in a directory WITHOUT SPACES in it's name (i.e. "C:\MinGW"). DO NOT use a directory like "C:\Program Files\MinGW" because it contains a space in it's pathname. Keep that in mind fot the subfolders you use to create your video as well.
Other than that I followed the instructions here to the letter until he uses CodeBlocks (5:23). I left the rest out.. [continued in next comment]
When I got to the MinGW folder, everything is there BUT the msys folder.
