Best  way  to  record  and  store  recorded  radio  programmes

Hi-I have just aquired 66 and a half hours of the late great UK DJ John Peel radio show.They are all on video with just the sound.I would like to record them into the mac and then transfer this onto CD or DVD if I can.I have Sound Studio installed and have managed to record some Lp's and transfer them onto CD.So maybe i could use that-although i saw in a magazine recently that you can use Garage Band to record stuff on (although i have not bought the magazine yet).My geuss is that i would have to record them into/as MP3-which would mean i could get more onto CD or DVD.Does anyone have any pointers about the easiest way i could do this and if i would get 66 and a half hours onto one CD or DVD ? As I have never attempted to do this before. (or how many Cd's or DVD's it would take to store 66 and a half hours ?).Any tips please would be much appreciated
thanks

ps- i have been told that the recordings are of high quality mostly-so any pointers about the quality of recording i would need to make it do it in for the quality to remain high ?
pss-i do not yet have a device to connect my video recorder to the computer-but my geuss is i would be able to connect it via the sound output plugs-if their are any on the video recorder ?

I think storing it in the application server directory would probably allow for faster access, is easier to code, and doesn't depend on db connectivity.
As for the unique id, you could probably use the File.createTemporaryFile method--it returns a unique id for every file in a directory, given a prefix & suffix. You just have to remember to change the extension from a .tmp to the image format you're using.
Anyway, that's my 2 cents.

  • What is the best way to archive and store old mail using Apple Mail?

    Hi,
    I have a number of older emails that I would like to archive and store for potential future access. Even though I have mails from earlier Lotus Notes accounts and Microsoft Office accounts, I am referring in this case only to apple mail data that I ave 'stored on my mac'.
    Any advice would be great. At the moment I am using predominantly gmail, so if things go haywire, rebuilding my mail is relatively easy. That said, I tend to file and save locally important messages.
    Cheers,
    Mark.

    This is from Mail's help:
    Archive messages
    You can store messages in an Archive mailbox so that you can quickly find them later when you’re ready to take action.
    Select one or more messages to archive.If you select a conversation, all messages in the conversation are archived.
    Choose Message > Archive.An Archive mailbox is created for each account whose messages you archive. For example, if you archive a message sent to your iCloud account and a message sent to your Yahoo! account, an Archive mailbox is created for each account.Archived messages remain in the Archive mailbox until you delete or move them. Depending on the account type, the Archive mailbox is stored on the mail server.
    You can customize the Mail toolbar to include the Archive icon.

  • Best way to record radio with good so

    bought mainly n200 so i could record my favorite DJ once a week. I recorded from fm and after i recorded the show. The results were the tone of volume had sudden shifts in tone. In additon, some fuzz. tried two dffernt way one the fm recorder and the other having it attached straight to the radio and the results were similar. Whats the besy way to have good sound.

    The truly free solution would be to find a freeware audio recorder that is AppleScript-compatible (look around on macupdate.com), and write or find an AppleScript that would be the timer. You could possibly script everything from launching the recorder to setting its options. The only catch would be to leave the AM radio running with a cable going into the Mac's audio input.
    The easy option is to get the RadioShark2, but that's not free.
    The only iPhone solution I can think of is to use the iPhone to find the radio station's website where they might have the program available for on-demand download...

  • Best way to upload and store image file using struts

    Hello there,
    I'm having two choices for uploading image files(not huge image files) using struts a) to store the image in application server's directory
    b) to store the image files as BLOB in database.
    Although each of the image files have to be associated with unique ID to identify the image for re-display.
    Which is the best option. application server's directory or database

  • Best way to record CDs and vinyl to iPad

    I am looking for the best way to record pre-recorded music, (CDs, vinyl) to my iPad. I have an M-audio interface I used with my MacBook.  I am looking for the best app to use, hopefully with an analog style VU meter with a needle. thank you.

    Hi Paul
    Thanks for the response. My HTC can record my video, but it is my old phone so is no longer connected to network or even works as a phone. This is why I need to either beam/bluetooth the file, or use a cable if that's the way to do it.
    Unless I'm missing some other obvious way. I suppose if I have to, I can record video, either on my HTC or digicam then convert and drop into itunes, synch and then its on my iphone to upload to YouTube (if this format works for YouTube)
    Long story short - I'm looking for a quck way to record video and upload using the iphone, on the go (ie. not needing my home PC)
    Thanks again!

  • What is the best way to record a project to an external recorded via firewire. Also, who makes a recorder that works with a mac?

    What is the best way to record a project from the timeline to an external recorder via firewire? Also, who makes a recorder that works with a mac and recordes in realtime? This is possible right?

    While theoretically possible, sometimes the camera people disable recording back to tape from the computer due to DRM (digital rights managment) issues. They will allow tape to tape transfers however.
    Test your process first is all I can advise.

  • What's the best way to record different articulations in 1 phrase?

    In my first violins I am using forte legato, pianissimo pizz, forte tremelo and forte marcato in 1 phrase within 4 bars. What now would be the best way to record this? I am using Peter Siedlaczek's Complete Classical Collection. Do I make a seperate track for every effect and record 1 bar on every track? Or do I use the Key Switch for every effect withing 1 track? What is the most easiet way of working and especiallyu, what used not all my processor power? I only have a PowerPc with w GB ram.

    Seems like you've answered your own question as those are the two ways to do what you are trying to do. Using the key-switch will be less CPU intensive than using multiple instances of the plugin.

  • What is the best way of recording bass

    Hi Peeps
    What is the best way to record a bass guitar in Logic. I'm going through a Fast Track Pro Audio Interface. The songs we are recording a disco cover, like get down on it and freak out, so need quite a warm rounded tone to them with a solid level.
    Thanks

  • BEST WAY TO RECORD FROM TV

    Whats the best way to record from TV and then be able to edit the footage, without losing quality?
    Is it with a dvd recorder, how to you get the files off the recorder???
    Thanks
    Simon

    If you already have a digital video camera, you can probably do it without buying anything extra. I have done this by connecting the video output from my able box to an input on my video camera, then connected the camera to the computer using the FireWire cable. I opened iMovie and imported the video from there. Of course, it's a bit of a pain, so I haven't done it often, and the quality is only as good as your camera is capable of. You may need to buy the cable to connect the cable box to the camera, though mine came with such a cable.

  • Best way to record electric guitar

    Hi all,
    after months of playing with GarageBand, a fantastic tool, I decided to try to record something with my electric guitar, just to see if I could be able to compose a song
    Well, I recently got a Dual G5 PowerMac, I saw it has a line in and a digital audio connector. I even got an iMic, a leftover from the "old" Dual G4 I had.
    So far, which is the best way to record my electric guitar? I already have the 1/4" -> 1/8" adaptor, should I just plug it in the iMic or the line in port on the rear of the Mac?
    Or , should I use a pre-processor before sending the signal to the Mac (I have an effect simulator from yamaha)?
    And, in case neither of the 2 scenarios are really worth it, what do you suggest?
    I already tried using the search feature, but I really couldn't find 1 clear topic that summed up my questions... sorry 'bout that.
    Thanks in advance,
    Regards

    You can certainly try the Line-In, you won't hurt anything. Most people find that it doesn't work very well because guitar is not "Line-Level".
    Others question the quality of the A/D converts built in to the Mac. Personally, I doubt the iMic's are any better, but the level problem usually forces one away from the direct Line In without some form of pre-amp.
    I've used the iMic (though with a mixing console) and found it acceptable. A higher quality interface (read much more money) yields much better results ... it's always a trade off.

  • What's the best way to record a phone conversation to GB?

    i am doing a small podcast with my best friend "the joseph podcast" and we have a few celebrities calling in to our show, we can't believe it either, Angela Kinsey from "the office" and Charlie Day from "it's always sunny in philadelphia" and we were wondering what the best way to record a phone conversation would be. we need help and we are pretty much poor so keep it cheap. thanks so much!

    If I were trying to record something very important, likely "get one chance only" type of thing, I would not use GB to do the recording. I would use a tape recorder and then later transfer the recording to GB.
    I'd use something like this BELL-SONECOR TR-70 Tele-Recorder Adapter for $13.

  • What is the best way to record a video(not big) for free on a mac w/isight?

    What is the best way to record a video(not big) for free on a mac w/isight? I need to just make a short (less than 5 minute, no special effects) video, but I can't figure out any programs that will make this possible for me.
    Thanks.

    Hi Carolyn,
    you can use iMovie to record a video for free on a Mac with iSight.
    1. Open iMovie HD
    2. Choose “Create a new project”
    3. Name the project for example “iSight Movie” (first field). In the second field, let the default location “Sequences”, in the third one, video format, choose “iSight”. Push “Create”
    4. iMovie window opens, next to the scissors, choose the camera (Camera mode), then iSight. Now you appear on the screen, right?
    5. Press “Record with iSight” in the main picture window.
    6. Press the same button to stop. Your new clip appears now in the clip panel at the right.
    7. You are done!

  • What is the best way to record video games on my mac

    what is the best way to record video games on my mac?

    I'm unclear about what you're asking - could you be a little clearer? I know you say that you want to "record video games" but I'm not sure if you're asking if you could, for instance, create a movie of video games as they're being played or what.

  • What is the best way to scan and sort old photos in iPhoto

    What is the best way to scan and sort old photos in iPhoto?  They do not have digital dates.

    Hey Chicago Sue,
    Once you scan them and have them on your desktop. You should use Automator and assign the common IPTC tags to the images, so that when you do import them into iPhoto, they get recorded.
    Here is an example of an action in Automator:

    My backup plan is to use Time Machine to make a backup to an external disk drive plus I also do a clone of my system disk. So far between the bootable clone and the Time Machine backup this plan has covered all of my needs.

  • HT1364 I just bought a new PC and now have ample space on my C drive to house my music Library which is currenlty installed on a external drive.  What is the best way to install and move the itunes library to my C Drive?

    I just bought a new PC and now have ample space on my C drive to house my music Library which is currenlty installed on a external drive.  What is the best way to install and move the itunes library to my C Drive?

    If the entire library is on the external drive then simply copy the iTunes folder into <User's Music> on the new computer, then install iTunes. If you've already installed iTunes you will want to remove the empty iTunes folder in <User's Music> first.
    If it turns out you only have the media folder on the external drive then take a look at this post...
