Bit rates and battery life

I have noticed several times that the battery seemed to drain faster than it should. A 20 minute walk while listening to an audio book seemed to drain the battery about 15-20%. Is there an impact of the bit rate to the battery load? If so what is the optimum bit rate?
Thanks

Hi John,
the bit rate does influence battery life insofar that the cpu may have different power consumption if the task takes more calculation power. I have no idea, how strong the bit rate does influence the power consumption in terms of battery time and such.
also, do you have the play slower feature enabled for your audio book? that might also cost more power.

Do Not post stuff about how Airplay doesnt work, because i dont have Apple TV and dont need to hear about it.

If you have an external drive equal to or larger than your internal HD, clone your internal to it with either Carbon Copy Cloner or Super Duper. Test the clone to make sure it's bootable. Then upgrade either one. Try it out first.

Firmware Upgrade and Battery Life?

Since the firmware upgrade on my Macbook in early February the fan appears to be running at full speed all the time and battery life is crap! Has anyone else noticed this? Is there a fix/workaround available please?

Sounds more like an app stuck processing that shouldn't be....does happen from time to time. Behing hot means it is constantly processing.
To fix:
Try a reboot (described below).
Think of it this way, the iPhone is more of a computer than a phone. It suffers from being a new OS and nobody can deny there are not bugs and memory leaks. The longer left running, the more things start to fail or slow down (I have had the iPhone since day one of original phone and I am just speaking from my experience). Thus I equate it to like when Windows95 came out...not sure of your age or if you remember those days...but back then it was a running joke of how many days you can keep Windows 95 running before you had to reboot. I am sorry to say but the iPhone is the same way right now (but getting better with a few hiccups back during the 2.0 release). So for me, I reboot daily when I leave in the morning and take it off the charger. By doing so I rarely see any lag or problems.
A reset/reboot is:
Go to Home Screen
Press and Hold Home Button
Keep holding and press and hold Lock Button
Keep holding Both
You will see Slide to Turn Off (Don't let go to slide, just keep holding)
The phone will turn off (in time, but screen will look like it has some white lines)
Keep Holding
When you see the Apple Logo, you can let go.
Turning off via the Slide to Turn off while good and fine to turn off, is more like the Sleep Mode on a computer. Thus any locked up issues in memory remain when you turn back on. A reboot as described is like doing a real Turn off and Turn On on a computer.
You may also wish to read this tread about reboots and odd application behavior.

For me, 2.1 works great.

Updated to OS 10.7.3; fan runs constantly and battery life dropped to under 2 hours when 100% charged. How do I get back to 10.7.2, I don't have a backup prior to this upgrade. This is a newer Macbook Pro 13", no modifications.

Help! This new version of Lion is making me miserable. The fan runs constantly, the computer is hot and battery life has dropped to under 2 hours on a fully charged battery. I updated yesterday, nothing but misery today. Even running the mail program alone make the fan run like I have everything open. Using Pages, iPhoto, and iTunes simultaneously makes the computer blistering hot.Yesterday, I could use all three without any trouble. Any suggestions to either jettison 10.7.3 or how to fix without any expense? I haven't modified this computer at all, it is as it came from the box in August 2011: 2.3 GHz Intel Core i5, 4GB 1333 Mhz DDR3.

I updated to Lion 10.7.3 and started noticing my fans running on high all the time and my battery would drain 2-3x faster. I was going to take my computer into an Apple store until I found this thread. I did the SMC reset by shutting down my computer, plugging it in, and then pushing down shift+control+option while also pushing down the power button. Nothing happens on the screen and the computer did not turn on. I then released all the buttons at once after holding them down for 10 seconds.
After that, I simply turned my computer back on and everything seems to be working fine. The fans are not blasting anymore. I have a newer MacBook Pro where I can't access my batteries. The SMC reset may differ for other types of laptops.

"current encoder settings for bit rate and sample rate are invalid" message

I have some files I am working with. Details and what happened:
Had some music files where I was doing some trimming/splitting. Files worked fine in itunes.
Open the files in Quicktime Pro 7 to trim them. Exported to aif.
Opened the files with itunes. They open and play just fine.
In Itunes I click"create AAC version" to convert them.
I receive the message "An error occurred while trying to import the file. The current encoder settings for bit rate and sample rate are not valid for this file."
I don't know what to do from here. Suggestions?
Thanks.

Make sure that the AIFFs that you export are set for 16 bit PCM.
Also, assuming that you are using 44.1 kHZ sampling in your AIFFs, make sure that you are not trying to use 48 kHz in the AAC.

In Finder how do I get iTunes to show bit rate and sample rate of an entry?

Tony, Make sure you are in Songs view. Then View > Show View Options, and check the boxes for "Bit Rate" and "Sample Rate." See picture:

Streaming multi bit rate and single bit rate

I'm trying to simplify my setup. Sometimes I need to stream multi bit rate and sometimes I need to stream single bit rate. This is due to the internet connections I'm sending from sometimes have poor upstream and multi-bit rate is too much bandwidth to send... So.... We resort to single bitrate. As I understand my encoder and server settings are different for each of these... I created a single and multi-bitrate profile for Adobe Media Encoder. That was simple enough. My question/concern is in regards the server settings. I would like to have a server setting for multi-bitrate and a setting for single bit rate. My goal is to void making changes on the server. I simply want to load the desired Adobe Media Encoder Profile. So, do I need to create a dedicated event for single bitrate? Below is the syntax I send to my server from Adobe Live Encoder. Instead of using 'liveevent' for my event would I just give it a different name? Does this stand true for my .m3u8 files? I'm confused to how to name differnet event/streams....
livestream%i?adbe-live-event=liveevent&adbe-record-mode=record

Hi,
When you use a setting like: livestream%i?adbe-live-event=liveevent then the encoder expects multibitrate streams (the %i is replaced by a number so the streams published will be livestream1, livestream2 and livestream3). You cannot use the same setting in the encoder for single stream. Instead you'll have to use livestream?adbe-live-event=<event_name>. You could create a new event under the same application.
Hope this helps. Let me know if you have any other queries.
Thanks,

How to set the Codec, Frame rate, Bit rate, and Resolution for iMovie 10.0.5

To upload a video to Vimeo, I need to be able to set the codec, frame rate, bit rate and resolution to make sure the file is compressed to under 500 MB. Where in iMovie 10.0.5 am I given the option to adjust these settings?
Thank you!

Another question is in continuous mode, NI DAQmx uses Samples per channel to determine the buffer size. But according to the website you specified, it says if the acquisition is continuous (sample mode on the DAQmx Timing.vi is set to Continuous Samples), NI-DAQmx will allocate a buffer according to the following table. And for sample rate between 100 - 10,000 S/s, the buffer size is 10 kS. So if I set the sample rate to be 5000 S/s, and set the Samples per channel to be 20000, then what exactly the buffer size is? 20 kS or 10 kS?
Thanks.

TS1717 when trying to import cd the following message appears "the current encoder settings for bit rate and sample rate are not valid for this file"?

Trying to import cd when this message appears "the current encoder settings for bit rate and sample rate are not valid for this file". Any suggestions?

Thanks so very much. I chose MP3 and Download and it is working beautifully. Have a wonderful day and it is so nice of you to get right back to me. I'm trying to cut a DVD for my grandson's grad party and I got most of the photos and didn't have any music since I lost everything in a clean install. Could hug you!

The selected combination of bit rate and sample rate is not allowed.

I've always burned my purchased CDs into iTunes using a AAC 320 kbps and 48.000kHz. Now when I select that option in iTunes 9 I'm getting a "The selected combination of bit rate and sample rate is not allowed." pop up screen. So is it impossible to burn my albums in a 320kbps/48.000 AAC format?. I had no problems in previous versions of iTunes using this setting. I guess I might have to switch over using a MP3 import setting instead.

Audio CDs are encoded with a sample rate of 44.1 kHz. Ripping them at 48 kHz requires resampling and does not improve the quality. Unless you have a special need for 48, use 44.1.

Export failed to meet required bit rate and color space specs - ProRes 422 to MPEG2

Using Premiere Pro CC v7 I exported a ProRes 422(HQ) file to MPEG2 and selected the HD 1080p 23.976 preset. I needed the finished file to have a minimum bit rate of 50Mbps and the color space to be YUV422. I was way under the minimum bit rate and the color space was incorrect. Can someone please instruct me on how to achieve my desired results. Thanks!

The source frame rate is 23.976, so I guess I would go with 24p. My intention is to upload the file to a streaming video website. They have their specs laid out for me, I just happen to be new to all of this so I am having a tough time meeting them.
My question right now is, if i have selected the MXF OP1a XDCAM option with XDCAM 50 NTSC (4:2:2) video codec, will the export be in mpeg2 and what will my bit rate be? I have no way of viewing the bit rate with this configuration.
Here is a screen grab of their required specs:

IPod Touch and Battery Life

Hello guys, just question for you.
I think that soon I'll go get myself a new iPod and still can not decide between the iPod touch 64 gigs and the Classic.
I am looking for a device where I can store all my music and has a good battery life. Now the Classic would be great as I would not need to upgrade for a few years ... the only worry is that it's a bit too fragile, due to the presence of an hard drive and not flash memory.
On the other side I wonder if the iPod touch would resist for a week without charging it....I'm the kind of user who often flickrs tru the list looking for other songs etc and also most of my songs have been ripped at 320kbs so that means the player has to fish into the memory more often
Any advice? Thanx in advance

Hi Antonio,
I've had a classic (original 160gb) for a few years now. It's taken a few knocks over time... nothing hardcore/abusive, but still works fine.
Apple say that you get 36hours of music from a classic and 30hours from a touch
I listen to my classic on my way to/from work, and a few hours of the day at work. I can get a whole week out of one charge easy.
I recently bought a touch with some gift vouchers from a work bonus. The usability of a touch is far superior to a classic. Movies, games, apps, wi-fi are all amazingly good, but drain your battery. A charge usually lasts 2-3 days, but I do use my work wi-fi to check facebook & eBay sometimes (banned on work computers)
I'd say touch trumps the classic, but if your music is all 320k, your going to fill 64gb fast!!! One thing to bear in mind is it's almost new Apple time. With the advent of iPhone OS4, there are many rumours and speculations, all of which are totally unfounded, but it is widely assumed that June/July will yield a new iphone, and possibly a new touch. There is no way to know for sure what the specs will be, but the new touch may come in greater sizes than 64gb

Slow i7 MacBook Pro startup and battery life issues

Hi Everyone,
My i7 2.66GHz 15" MacBook Pro with 8GB of RAM does a couple of things that worry me
1. The battery life is poor, 127 Charge Cycles, 6 months old. I'm sat on Chrome with one window open and it's reading 3hr 16 min on 83%
2. The startup into 10.6.5 is painfully slow. It seems to load up the menu bar at the top and hang mid flow, just before the battery status and time remaining appear.
Any ideas?
Thanks in advance! Mike

There seems to be a lot of unanswered questions floating around here.
Its kind of scary seeing some of these "issues" and not seeing any answers.
I just spent 3 g's on a 2011 mbp, and I am really hoping all the great things that I've learned about Apple still rein true. Those are the only reasons I bought one.
My startup is very slow as well.

Mail-In Service and Battery Life

I recently sent my computer in to apple to get the superdrive replaced. before i sent it in i had an approximate battery life of one hour while running airport and at full screen brightness with safari, mail and AIM running. immediately after i got the computer back from the service center the battery life had dropped to about 30 mins under the same conditions. was there something at the service center that caused this disruption, and if so, would apple be accountable to replace it?

Hi carocker and Welcome to Discussions.
If your battery was already down to 1 hour it was already on its last legs and replacement was already imminent. I doubt you'll get anywhere with trying to hold Apple accountable. You could try a PMU reset…
1. If the computer is on, turn it off.
2. Reset the power manager by simultaneously pressing and then releasing Shift-Control-Option-Power on the keyboard. Do not press the fn (Function) key while using this combination of keystrokes.
3. Wait 5 seconds.
4. Press the Power button to restart the iBook.
followed by a full Calibration…
which may improve things a bit.
Best of luck,
Adrian
