It aligns them by modifying the timestamps that video frames are shown at, which means no loss in quality. Basic video editing can be done by deleting or stretching segments of a video's sound in Audacity, then running describealign on the original video and the modified audio with --smoothness set low (e.g. 1). The video will be edited losslessly, but the audio can also be edited losslessly by exporting from Audacity as FLAC, then setting --extension to mkv or another container that supports FLAC. + + +
