Can audio be captured as .aiff file when capturing DV?

I have set up my System Settings so that I can open audio files into an external editor (a sound editing program called Peak). Any added audio tracks in my FCE file work fine with this because they are .aiff files. But the live audio track that was recorded with the camera is apparently a Quicktime file, and won't open in Peak. Someone told me that I could set up some sort of preference for capturing DV so that the audio portion would be captured as.aiff. Does anyone know how to do this?
Thanks, Bob

i have just tried out your method, Al and Tom, purely in the spirit of experimentation and a strange thing has occurred.
I had a 30 minute clip but only wanted to manipulate a short section so I put In and Out points yet the whole clip appeared in my sound editor.
Then (in the timeline) I used the razor blade to cut out and delete the unwanted sections, but again the whole audio clip appeared in the editor.
Is it only possible to open the complete audio clip?

Javax.sound.sampled - Writie PCM audio samples to an AIFF file?

Greetings,
I've been going at this for awhile and seem to be stuck.
I'm importing data from an old system that stored audio recordings in raw PCM. I can easily use a Clip object to convert that PCM into a DataLine (Clip) object and play it.
Now I need to write out that audio data as an AIFF file (actually I need to capture it and store it in a database, but the AIFF file format seems like a good, portable, format).
To write a file using AudioSystem.write() you need an AudioInputStream. To create an AudioInputStream you need a TargetDataLine. However, I can see no direct way of creating a TargetDataLine that can be populated with raw data.
Reading the documention (I know, it's a bad habit), it seems like what I needed to do is get a mixer, create a SourceDataLine with my data, then pump the SourceDataLine with the audio samples. The mixer would do nothing but pass the data on to the TargetDataLine where it would be captured and written to disk. Here's my code:
public void writeAIFF( OutputStream out ) throws IOException
try
// First, find a mixer (we assume it will be a software mixer) that can provide us with
// both source and target datalines that can handle the desired format.
AudioFormat format = getAudioFormat(); // This is the format of our data
DataLine.Info sourceInfoRequest = new DataLine.Info(SourceDataLine.class,format);
DataLine.Info targetInfoRequest = new DataLine.Info(TargetDataLine.class,format);
Mixer ourMixer = null;
// Get all of the available mixers
Mixer.Info[] info = AudioSystem.getMixerInfo();
for (int i=0; i<info.length; i++)
Mixer mixer = AudioSystem.getMixer(info);
if (mixer.isLineSupported(sourceInfoRequest) && mixer.isLineSupported(targetInfoRequest))
ourMixer = mixer;
break;
if (ourMixer==null)
throw (new IOException("can't obtain audio components"));
// Get the source and target lines from the mixer
SourceDataLine sourceLine = (SourceDataLine)ourMixer.getLine(sourceInfoRequest);
TargetDataLine targetLine = (TargetDataLine)ourMixer.getLine(targetInfoRequest);
AudioInputStream targetStream = new AudioInputStream(targetLine);
// Load up the source line with the data
sourceLine.open(format);
sourceLine.write(samples,0,samples.length);
// Write our data out as an AIFF file
AudioSystem.write(targetStream,AudioFileFormat.Type.AIFF,out);
// So what happens to all of these lines and mixers when we're done?
catch ( LineUnavailableException noline )
throw (new IOException("audio line unavailable: "+noline.getMessage()));
My problem is that the code never finds a mixer. The statement (mixer.isLineSupported(sourceInfoRequest) && mixer.isLineSupported(targetInfoRequest)) is always false.
So here's my question (finally): Am I going about this the right way? My other thought is just to create my own TargetDataLine object and populate it with the data myself.
Any thoughts or suggestions?
P.S. I hope this is the right place for this question -- this is the first time I've used this forum
P.P.S. Java 1.3.1 (MacOS X and Windows 2000)

Solved -
This was way over engineered! Overlooked in my reading was a constructor for an AudioInputStream that can use any input stream as it's source.
This was all I needed:
     AudioFormat format = getOurAudioFormat();               // Get the format of our audio data
     AudioInputStream targetStream = new AudioInputStream(new ByteArrayInputStream(samples),format,samples.length);
     AudioSystem.write(targetStream,AudioFileFormat.Type.AIFF,out);

Can't find my iweb domain file when searching for it in iweb seo tool

I am trying to get my iweb website recognized by Google. Can't seem to get the google html code to work in html snippet. So am now trying to use the iweb seo tool but can't find my iweb domain file when searching for it in iweb seo tool. My file is in user/library/applicationsupport/iweb/name.sites2
It shows in the folder but is not active, so I can't choose it.

The SEO ftp client is not what I'd recommend using. Once you add the metadata to a local copy of the files use a 3rd party ftp client like the free Cyberduck to upload the files. Much more reliable.
Google does not use keywords for it's searches although other search engines do. Create a test page on your site (leave it out of the navbar) and try adding Google Analytics to it with Wyodor's instructions. If you get it to work then all you need to do is copy and paste the HTML snippet from the test page into your site pages.
For information on visitors to your site you can also use StatCounter. It records the number of visitors and a lot more: where they are from, what browser used, which page visited and what site/page then came from for just a few. SC is easy to add to the pages as you get the code for your account, put it in an HTML snippet add the snippet to each page. Old Toad's Tutorial #13 - Adding a StatCounter as an HTML Snippet describes how to do it.
Again use a test page or a separate test site to work out the details before adding to your site pages.

Why can't itunes locate my music files when they are there?

I think that this happened when I checked off both "keep iTunes media folder organized" and "copy files to iTunes Media Folder when adding to library."I had all of my files located at C:\Users\Beata\Music\iTunes\iTunes Media and then I noticed that itunes made folders for all of of my music files because I have checked off the keep iTunes media folder organized. Ever since then, itunes can't find all of my files but only some of it and I don't want to go one by one to locate all of the songs. All of my songs are located in the same location which is C:\Users\Beata\Music\iTunes\iTunes Media\Music I changed it to this location because all of my song files are located there and the place where it was located before, I didn't find the song files on there. I also noticed that itunes would oragize and create folders for my songs in the my music library and I thought that was the reason why itunes couldn't find the files because they were in the wrong location so I moved all of those folders to C:\Users\Beata\Music\iTunes\iTunes Media\Music So, is it because all of my files are in folders since itunes organized them? All of my files are in album, artist, and song title folders. Where should all of these folders be located at? Also, iTunes creates multiple folders that have the same name and should I just leave the folders be or organize them myself because I have folders that have the same exact name as in the artist and title but it has different song files in the folders. Should I combine the files into the same folder that have the same artist or should I just leave it that way? Please ,I really need help as I have tried almost everything.

How can i include css in html file when exported

I want the CSS should be included in the html file when exported, how is that posable?

Muse follows its own structure and keeps HTML, CSS and JS code in separate files as and when possible. If you want all that code to be merged into the HTML file itself, then there is no option to force Muse to do that. You can however, add your own CSS code into the HTML page by adding the CSS using either the Insert HTML option or using the HTML for <head> option in Page Properties > Metadata.

How can I back up my important files when I can't sign in due to disk utility?

Hello all,
I've made a big mistake of putting off the start up disk full. Now it's bit me in the foot and I don't want to restart my whole mac when I know there is important items to be backed up. Can I somehow access my user files before repairing/erasing the disk.

I see. That sounds as if the internal HD can't be accessed at all, & you were automatically started in Recovery mode.
You're unable to mount (select it; Right click - Mount) then use verify/repair ?
fsck in Single User mode, occasionally seems to work where DU doesn't :
Resolve startup issues and perform disk maintenance with Disk Utility and fsck

How can I stop Acrobat from reordering files when importing files to create a PDF?

To all those more knowledgable than I,
I am converting a larger amount of tiff files into one PDF. The TIFF files are numbered 1-100. When I "add files" in the diaologe window they reorder because Acrobat does not look at the third number so then I have to move up and move down the file names so that they are in a sequential order. Is there a way to have Acrobat not do this?!
Thank you.

Can I split a PDF / PCL file when generating using Crystal Report

Hi,
I can generate a big PCL file from sending it to a PCL printer from Crystal. Can I add something to split the PCL file while generating it from Crystal?
Any pointers towards splitting a PCL would be appreciated.
Thank you
Deepa

Hi Deepti
Crystal Reports is just a tool to present the data.
Unfortunately there is no functionality to instruct to split the report pages while sending to the printer that too automatically from Crystal Reports Designer Stand Alone application.
You can select the page range according toyour requirement.

Why can't I print out a PDF file when I am on Firefox? It takes me to Preview to print instead of staying on Firefox.

When I go to a website that has a PDF file and try to print it, it sends me to Preview and when I try to print, the computer freezes up. This does not happen on Safari. Why can't I print a PDF file when I am on Firefox?

To print a PDF, you need to use the print command from the PDF reader plugin instead of firefox's one. If there is no icons bar in the plugin, try right-click on a page from the pdf -> Print.

Garageband erased all aiff files of recordings made!!!

Hi there,
I spent a few hours on garageband simply recording some audio over the internal mic. Some of it I recorded normally, some in loop mode. Then I edited it, cut out what I didn't want and also deleted whole tracks with some audio on it. After all the editing I had around 6 tracks with mainly short audio loops in it (made from these recordings earlier on).
I then saved the project. Then quit. Then put my computer to sleep.
3 minutes later I woke it up again, opened the same file in Garageband I'd previously been working on. Then all I got were error messages telling me one after the other, that all the aiff-files from the various recordings could not be found. I tried the "search" button, but that never found anything.
I opened the file and all my loops were there in form, but the audio was not there, i.e. couldn't play any of it.
I opened the package contents of the GB file and the media folder was empty. The file's size is 1.1MB.
This seems to be a huge bug. This has never happened to me before. It was the first time using Garageband on Snow Leopard. And possibly the first time using Garageband 09 at all (I've used older versions frequently).
Has noone else had this happen? It makes me nervous ****. I'd have to save, quit and reopen all the time to make sure the audio data is still there.
Looking forward to your comments.
JAD

Hey there Alphaspin,
Sorry to hear you had the same thing happen to you.
BUT AT THE SAME TIME I'm very happy to see someone confirm my problem. It's a first step on the way to freeing that poor little bug from GB, I'm assuming. (you hear that, Apple? Don't be too vicious with the poor thing. It's not its fault!)
As a note to various people above who were hypothesizing my failure to save the file properly.
I understand your scepticism, but think about this. If I hadn't saved the file properly (before quitting - as I remember well - or during the quitting process), why would all the loops still be shown in my tracks in the Garageband file? I don't see how that could possibly happen if the file wasn't in some way "saved".
What I see in the file I referenced in my first post, is everything exactly in the state I left it when I quit it, except for all the loops not playing because GB can't find the original aiff files in it's project file any more (because they've apparently been deleted during the quitting process).
Anyhow, I hope more people will find this post and confirm our experiences. Probably they won't find it before the ** hits the fan, unfortunately. It's all a learning experience as always. Just in this case backing up doesn't help diddly-squat. You can seemingly save it to as many HDs as you wish - if GB deletes the aiff files in the project, they're lost in multiple places at once
morale of the story: I will not use GB until I see this addressed and fixed and I can test it with some post-modern classical junk music. (because I don't feel like going back to leopard - which might fix the problem for the moment).

How to extract one of several audio tracks from a .vob file?

Hi guys,
hope you can help me, i'm looking for a solution for hours now but can't find one.
I would like to know how to extract one audio track from a .vob file when there are different tracks/languages on the dvd? Media encoder does it very well, but i can't find the option for choosing the right audio track/language for extraction. Please help
Kind regards
Alex

This is because the OMF specification requires mono audio files
It really depends on what you are trying to do with the two tracks as to the best answer as far as 'grouping'
You could select all the clips on both tracks and right mouse click and select 'group'
You could send both tracks to a bus
You could export the two tracks to a stereo file and bring that back into the session
Lots more things I'm sure but a little more detail as to what you are trying to do would help

HT203164 Why would iTunes burn a CD with AIFF files that don't play music?

I have been trying to burn a particular song to a CD to prepare for a performance. I own the song as a purchased song in iTunes, as part of an album. I wanted to brun one for the piano player and one for me to practice to.
I had one fail and was successful the second time. Then I have had several successive failures. I have tried varying the burn preferences a bit.
I am near the end of a large package of CompUSA brand CD-R media.
The weird thing is, the discs that are "failures" have AIFF files on them and when you GET INFO on them they read normal file sizes. But, when you try to play them in iTunes they take about one second to play with no sound. In a CD player you just get an error code.
I have tried burning at the "maximum possible" speed, which is the default, and at 8X and I have tried unchecking the "CD Text" option. I have also changed the seconds bewtween songs option. No difference.
Over the last two years, going through this large package of CD-R's, I am used to getting occasional failures. I just would toss the disc and then the next one would be good. But those would have nothing on them. Do you think this is bad media, a bad optical drive, or something else?
BTW, the computer is a 2008 15" MacBook Pro, running 10.7.5, and iTunes 10.7(21).
Thanks!

Strictly speaking an audio CD is not AIFF files, it's a 30 year old standard called Red Book.
I would say bad media is likely. Normally I'm all for generics, except in optical media you really risk coasters. I have Dynex brand DVDs and I think at least 25% show a burn failure. Likely your CompUSA may have come from the same factory.
Bad media could be coupled with burner issues. Maybe dust in the burner, or too fast a burn speed.
