Audio Recording on Quicktime Pro

I recently purchased a new I Mac.
I would like to convert a bunch of old audio tapes from both Cassette and DAT to make WAV files, so I can burn them on to CDs. My DAT machine has optical output, so I purchased the TOSLINK optical cable for the optical input on my Mac.
Before I go ahead and purchase QT Pro, I want to be certain that I can perform this task for sure. IS QT Pro capable of recording audio from a DAT machine?
Thank you. Any info would be greatly appreciated!
Mike

Where is a Screen Recording in QuickTime Pro?

Your signature says Mac OS X 10.5.8. I am not sure that QuickTime Player screen recording is available in 10.5.8. It may have started in 10.6.
If it works on your system, in QuickTime Player you will find these commands under the File menu:
New Movie Recording
New Audio Recording
New Screen Recording
Edit: Oh, you're asking about QuickTime Pro. Not sure, sorry.

Close the QT X player without saving the recording. If you have already saved the recording, then locate the saved file and trash it in the normal manner. If you are referring to a temporary or saved file entry that shows up in the "Open Recent" list, the system will automatically reclaim the space as part of the routine system clean up if/when the file is no longer available. If you simply wish to immediately remove it from your "Open Recent" list before the system removes it, then use the "Clear Menu" option to manually clear the "Open Recent" list.

Recording in Quicktime Pro with a DV Camera

I have used Quicktime before to upload my videos to my Mac, but for some reason, this time Quicktime isn't reconizing the camera. The preferences are all set-up, cords are in place, and I've even got the camera plugged in so it's not the battery.
If I use iMovie, it works fine, but I'd rather not use iMovie to upload the video because I want them as separate video files. Make sense?
Basically, what am I doing wrong? How do I get Quicktime to recognize my camera so I can upload/record the footage onto my computer?

Snapz Pro can record onscreen "video" in QuickTime formats.
WireTap (free version) can record "audio" playback in .aiff format which QuickTime Pro can convert to smaller sized files.

Copy Video From Sony VRD-MC3 DVD Recorder to Quicktime Pro

I burn short clips to DVD on my Sony VRD-MC3 burner. I then load it on my mac to convert over to quicktime pro so I can create clips and add to my movies. The DVD plays on my mac DVD player but I can't get it to open on my QT pro so I can convert to the necessary movie extensions. The Finder wont show any folders on the DVD. Can anyone help me with being able to load these files and then convert using quick time Pro?
Thanks

I found this info about the recorder in a Google search:

Disk /dev/hdc: 255 heads, 63 sectors/track, 30401 cylinders
Units = cylinders of 16065 * 512 = 8225280 bytes

Partitions 1 and 2 are ext2 filesystems storing the firmware files (locked up in a signed+encrypted cramfs image, so hacking will be hard). Partition 3 is encrypted xfs. Until someone cracks the encryption, no directory listing and no TS files (plus no guarantee that Sony is using TS files to store the content anyway). Breaking the encryption on any of this stuff may be tough since the manual acknowledges that they are using GNU Privacy Guard. On the other hand, since people have reported being able to update multiple units from the same Sony-provided USB flash drive, that would seem to indicate that the firmware isn't individually signed and encrypted for each unit, making it more significant if someone does manage to figure out the keys and signing scheme.
Sony does this kind of stuff all the time. It's similar to Macrovision protection on VHS tape recordings.
My guess is that the encryption is passed on to the DVD copy of the file which allows viewing but not any duplication or conversion.

Audio upsampling in Quicktime Pro: Best export settings for Final Cut?

I'm using Quicktime Pro to convert audio from 32 kHz to 48 kHz, for use in FCE/FCP. Quicktime gives me several options for export settings. I want to make the conversion lossless, without increasing the size of the audio file too much.
These are the settings I'm using so far:
Format: Linear PCM
Channels: Stereo (L R)
Rate: 48 kHz
Sample Rate Converter Settings: Quality: Best
Linear PCM Settings: Sample size: 16 bits
Are these settings the best choices? Does anyone have experience doing this kind of upsampling?
Here are the other options in Quicktime:
Format: Linear PCM, A-Law 2:1, IMA 4:1, MACE 3:1, MACE 6:1, QDesign Music 2, Qualcomm PureVoice, and mu-Law 2:1
Channels: 2 Discrete Channels, Mono, Stereo (L R)
Rate: there are other choices, but I know 48 kHz is what I want
Advanced Settings:
Sample Rate Converter Settings: Faster, Fast, Normal, Better, Best
Linear PCM Settings (when Linear PCM is the format): 8 bit, 16 bit, 24 bit, 32 bit (floating point checked), 32 bit (floating point unchecked).
The file size grows quickly as you increase the Linear PCM bit settings.

You can't create something that is not in the file.
Moving from 32kHz to 48 will only make the file size
larger and can't improve the audio.
Doesn't FCP or FCE import your file at 32. Or does it
change it to 48 after import?
I am aware that increasing the audio from 32 kHz to 48 kHz will not improve the quality of the audio. And yes, Final Cut Pro and Express will both capture and allow you to work witih 32 kHz audio.
I have several hours of video shot with 32 kHz audio settings that I'd prefer to have stored on disk with 48 kHz audio, because (a) some applications like iMovie have demonstrated problems with 32 kHz audio in the past, and (b) the majority of my video is shot with 48 kHz audio, so my 32 kHz video will eventually end up in a 48 kHz project, leaving the upsampling to Final Cut. Yes, I do eventually plan to burn my projects to DVD as well, but this isn't an immediate concern.
The problem with doing the conversion in Final Cut is this: Some of the people knowledgeable about Final Cut Pro and Express recommend doing the upsampling using Quicktime or another application, instead of using Final Cut, because Final Cut may not do as good a job as Quicktime. So my intention is to upsample the audio now in preparation for later projects. I don't completely understand why Final Cut wouldn't do as good of a job at upsampling, but a couple of experienced users in the FCP and FCE forums have independently corroborrated this.
Thanks to everyone for their helpful posts and responsiveness.

Audio Problem on Quicktime Pro/Ipod Classic

I just downloaded Quicktime Pro and followed the steps in order to get a video from my desktop to my ipod classic. It looked and sounded fine on my Itunes (Aside from taking forever to convert). But by the time I had to convert it again for my ipod the picture was subpar and the audio was horrible. Can anyone help me?
Thanks

FCE works best with AIFF audio @48kHz. You can convert mp3s in iTunes (DRM prevents use of many iTunes Store tracks in FCE) but they wind up @44.1kHz. It's better to convert in QTPro, as that can give you the correct sample rate.

Recording using Quicktime Pro

I am trying to record a video which streams across my internet connection; the video uses Quicktime player. I thought it was possible to do this using Quicktime Pro, so yesterday I spent $30 on the upgrade, but when I right clicked on the video screen and chose "Save as Quicktime Movie" and the destination folder, as that is there is 809 bytes of data, even though the info states the correct length of the movie. I can click on the movie, and it opens a new screen and will play, but it is streaming, and I really need this to be where I can watch and listen to it offline.
Can anyone help me with this issue, if possible? I hope I didn't waste $30.
Thanks!

I don't know about any YouTube "streaming media". All I've ever seen is "progressive downloads".
Progressive downloads allow playback while the file continues to download. Streaming media is served from special server software that sends "hint tracks" and you can step through playback at any point in the file. You could view the last minute of an hour long streaming file as soon as you got the initial file started.

Can't Share an Audio Recording in Quicktime X

Hi folks. My colleagues asked me to record a meeting for them, so I used Quicktime X to make an audio recording. Once I saved the file, I went to "share" it - I am indifferent how...iTunes, MobileMe, whatever. However, every option is greyed out. Does anyone know why this would be the case and how I can change it in order to share the recording with my colleagues? Thanks!

Maybe I am using the wrong terminology,
OK. To avoid confusion, let's refer to them as Blu Ray disks. DVD is standard def only (480 resolution). The confusion arises when we hear folks refer to HD DVDs, because there was once such a product. Now the format is obsolete.
So have you tried to Share>Blu Ray to see whether it can be burned from within FCP? If it doesn't work, that would suggest a problem with your FCP project. If you can, than somewhere between FCP and toast there is an issue.
As a test, take the range tool and make a short selection of your time line. Using Share>Blu Ray, select Hard Drive for out put device so you don't waste the media. If that works, you could either have FCPX do the disk for the whole project or make a disk imagine for Toast. (I don't use Toast but I'm reasonably confident it will accept img files.)

How to convert a software instrument recording to an audio recording? Logic pro X

Hey I'm having serious trouble converting a software instrument recording to an audio recording. I'm trying to record this drum beat, then convert it to an audio file so i can chop it up and sample it on the EXS24. could anyone possibly provide any helpful insight to my dilema? Thank you very much!

im sorry i should've clarified a little further. it is on the drum machine feature in Logic pro X. i want to sample the 808 kick so i can change the pitch of it in the exs24 but whenever i go to "bounce in place" this message pops up:
""Bounce Regions" in Place can only process regions on audio tracks and/or software instrument tracks. Click “OK” to deselect all regions on other tracks and continue."
do you have any answers to this specifically?

No Direct Audio Recording With Quicktime

Could someone please help me to troubleshoot this Quicktime audio problem? Running 10.8.2. When I try to do screen recording it doesn't record the audio section. I do not want to use the mic but record what is going throught the speakers. I read somewhere that Quicktime can't do this but that is silly for a company like Apple not to include audio recording, when many other screen capture programs easily do. Am I missing a patch or update of some kind? Would adding Soundflower fix this issue?

Is there a link to do this?
Here is the general link to the Apple Product Feedback page listing products: http://www.apple.com/feedback/
Here is the link to the QT Product Feedback Form: http://www.apple.com/feedback/quicktime.html
The way Quicktime is now, it is worthless (screen capture wise) unless you want to capture a Charlie Chaplin movie...
Than mab be the point. (I.e., they may not want you to be capable of copying movies playing on you screen.)

Audio recording with QT Pro vs. QT Broadcaster

Need to record a seminar (audio only) and live webcast parts of it. Audio goes from mixer to line in on Macbook with QT Pro and QT Broadcaster. Broadcaster will record to disk, but it appears to have no metering. It also appears that to record with Broadcaster, you have to be broadcasting. I successfully recorded with QT Pro while broadcasting. Questions:
1) With QT Pro, how far into the red is safe on recording?
2) Are there any input metering options (like displaying the peaks for a second or two)?
3) Can you change the default naming from Audio n.mov to something else?
4) With QT Broadcaster, is there any level indication - how can you tell if your level is good?
5) It seems simplest to record with QT Pro and just turn on Broadcaster when needed. QT Pro won't let you pause a recording and resume with the same file, but I can live with that. But is there a better way to do this?
Thanks,
John

OK, that is really true...
While I was waiting for a reply, I tried what David suggested and used my video Hi8 to simulate a transfer with no sound except the one from my tapes....and guess what ????
it works !
I am going to try it again with STP and QT7 under same conditions.
Funny that these boxes seem to need a video running.
Even more than that, I have tried an empty tape...and it does not seem to work !
Which means you really need an active signal
thanks a lot for this reply which is very helpful

Video + audio recorded in Quicktime X is out of sync when used in iMovie

I have recorded video in Quicktime X. When I try to edit it in iMovie, the audio and video are out of sync. They are in sync if I play the video in Quicktime. I am using the latest version of iMovie '11. Anyone know how I can fix this?

You should not HAVE TO but did you try extracting out the audio? This has been a issue for a long time. I am not sure why you never see this problem in Final Cut but it rears its ugly head in iMovie all the time. What do the call it now? Oh yes... detach. Select the clip then Clip -> Detach audio and line it back up.

Audio layering in quicktime pro

in the quicktime 7 user guide there is an image of how video tracks might be arranged, on page 31.
I was wondering if there was a way to overlap audio files and only have them playing at certain times, because whenever you try add an audio file to a movie, it speeds up or slows down to cover the whole file. I f anyone knows how to get around this, could you please help?
