Converting Audio files into a format Final Cut can recognize

Final Cut Express 4
Ladies and Gentlemen,
In a previous discussion I noted that Final cut would not allow me to hear imported mp3's and mp4a's in the editing timeline, therefore, my question is:
What are some programs that will offer me the ability to convert mp3 or mp4a files into a AIFF 48k?
thanks,

I would recommend Audacity, a free recorder and transcoder, available here:
http://audacity.sourceforge.net/
Audacity® is free, open source software for recording and editing sounds. It is available for Mac OS X, Microsoft Windows, GNU/Linux, and other operating systems.

Convert mts files for editing in Final Cut?

Is there a way to convert mts files for editing in Final Cut Express or Pro?

Well, first, if you are talking about AVCHD video, FCE & FCP can directly import it from your camcorder. They will also import AVCHD from an SD card or even your hard drive provided you have saved the entire AVCHD folder structure, not just the .mts files by themselves.
If you only have the .mts files (without the surrounding AVCHD folder strucutre) then you should be able to use MPEG Streamclip to convert them to QuickTime/Apple Intermediate Codec for editiing in FCE. MPEG Streamclip is free and works great.
If that doesn't work, then look into ClipWrap, which has a $49.99 price tag.
This will work the same for converting .mts files to ProRes assuming you already have FCP installed, which gives you the ProRes codec.
FCE & FCP do not, however, directly import video from DSLRs because the camera manufacturers have each done some proprietary stuff in their implementation of video in their DSLRs. However, if you have a Canon DSLR & FCP (that is, FCP 7) there is a Canon EOS video plugin that will enable you import the video directly from the DSLR into FCP7. Not sure it's supported on Lion (10.7.x) just yet, but if you have a Canon DSLR it's worth a look.

Convert gzip files into XML format

We have a requirement where we receive gzip files. These files are zipped file containing base64 binary format csv files. We would have to convert these files into XML format. Please let me know any of the following.
1. Is there any Xpath query or XSL function (somthing similar like doTranslateFromNative() ) to convert from gzip files to XML format.
2. If we need to unzip the zipfile outside fusion, then java code piece to unzip the gzip file. I guess after that we can use the usual doTranslateFromNative() function to translate to XML format, since after unzipping the gzip file, they are base64 binary formats.
Thanks in advance,
Toms

There is an option to do pre-processing and post processing of Files when using File adapter. You need to create a valve which will first do pre processing and send the output to FileAdapter.
You can get more information here:
http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E23943_01/integration.1111/e10231/adptr_file.htm#CACDHGGG
under section: 4.2.14 Pre-Processing and Post-Processing of Files
Essentially you will use Java to unzip the file first and then the unzipped content will be passed to the adapter.

Converting audio file from one format to another format

Hi Friends,
Is it possible to convert the audio file from one format to another format(*.mp3 to *.wav file and vice versa)?
If so, please guide me on the same.
Thanks in advance,

It's been covered here already, but take a look here:

Converting PST files into PDF's & the recipient can't print

I am having the following issue with Adobe: I am converting PST files into PDF's and the recipient can view the information, but they cannot print. Actually, some information such as whether there is an attachment is displayed in the printout, but none of the actual text appears. I do not see any security settings at this end that would be causing this, but I have been assured that there is nothing on the recipients either. The same thing was happening when I sent it to a colleague here in the office.

I discovered the problem and solution. Often PST's contain damaged text. It is not easy to deal with the damaged text. It is more efficient to have the recipient print the file as an image.Select the print tab, go to advanced, select print as image. I got the information by looking through the more specific information on the Adobe site.

How do I convert .vob files to run in Final Cut Pro X?

Hi everyone,
I'm trying to convert Video_TS files (.vob) to work on Final Cut Pro X. I've tried a free trial of a couple of third party file converters which manage to convert the files to .mov or .mp4, but then when I drag and drop them into Final Cut Pro X it gives no video or audio. Any help would be really appreciated!
Thanks,
Josh

Did you do this from the MPEG Streamclip download page?
The installer of the MPEG-2 Playback Component may refuse to install the component in Lion and Mountain Lion. Apple states the component is unnecessary in Lion and Mountain Lion, however MPEG Streamclip still needs it.
To install the component in Lion or Mountain Lion, please download MPEG Streamclip 1.9.3b8 beta above; inside the disk image you will find the Utility MPEG2 Component M. Lion: use it to install the MPEG-2 Playback Component in Lion or Mountain Lion. The original installer's disk image (QuickTimeMPEG2.dmg) is required.
The current versions of MPEG Streamclip cannot take advantage of the built-in MPEG-2 functionality of Lion and Mountain Lion. For MPEG-2 files you still need to install the QuickTime MPEG-2 Playback Component, which is not preinstalled in Lion and Mountain Lion. You don't have to install QuickTime 7.

How to convert MTS files for capture in Final Cut Express 4

*PLEASE HELP!!!* While waiting to buy my iMac I saved my Canon Vixia HF200 AVCHD video clips on a PC with backups stored on an external HD. I transferred these to my iMac and they are in .MTS format. I can not open them in either iMovie or Final Cut Express 4. I gather I need to convert the files somehow. What is the best way to do this? _Thank you for your help!_

Here are your options now that you just have the files...

As Tom said, next time import directly from the volume rather than copying the .mts files.

Convert MTS files for use in Final Cut Express

Having just bought a Canon Legria HF R16 (which in America would be the Vixia) I was struggling the past hours to get my video files from the camera to my mac. Canon doesn't provide much help in this. But I finally got the files in iMovie. Is there a site somewhere where I can find more information about organizing those videos and how best to transfer them from camera with this setup?
So far the procedure seems to be: import in iMovie then import the mov files into Final Cut Express. But maybe there is a more efficient way.
Thanks.

Yes, it's an AVCHD camcorder. Just tried the log & transfer and it imported in Final Cut Express alright. I checked the info about the imported video clips and it looks fine too, at least it says that it's Apple Intermediate Codec. So that would allow me to import my stuff into FCE directly without converting anything. Touch wood.
I am right now trying everything out on my camera, got it today. The size is 1440x1080 if I saw correctly in FCE. Have to check on that om my camcorder. Yes, I had it on SP (standard), changed that to FXP (full size).
I guess I'll manage from here on. Thanks, Martin.
The first moments can be so confusing.
So I guess there is no need to convert the movies in iMovie first, unless I wanted to use iMovie for editing.
I'm still studying the FCE manual as well.

What is the easiest way to convert .MTS files for use in Final Cut Express

I initially downloaded my Sony Alpha7 files into iMovie. As the production requires a little more professional software I then tried to import files into Final Cut Express. As these are now .MTS files what is the easiest way of converting them?

Hey Martin et al,
Related question...
After you convert files from M2TS or MP4 into something usable in FCE can you trash the original M2ts/mp4 files ?
I recently used Mpeg Streamclip to convert Mp4 into AIC for FCE for example..
Is there a general rule of when you have to save original files so everything works in FCE?
I'm running out of HD space.
Thanks a lot,
Al

Audio file to use in Final Cut

Hi all...
Hopefully a simple question. I'm using garage band to record several 10 - 20 second audio voice over files. I want to import these files into Final cut. I've recorded the file, but when i go to final cut to import the file, it is grayed out and won't allow me to. What am I doing wrong? What else do i need to do.
Thanks,
Greg

I figured it out. No need to respond to this.

How to convert VCD files into readable format on iDVD, iMovie, DVD player

I found a bunch of old VCDs that I want to convert so that I can use them on iDVD, iMovie. What is the best free converter and would appreciate any tips as to the best way to reduce any loss of resolution. I tried last year converting thru mpeg streamclip and the movie came out pixelated in .mov.

ffmpeg might be very difficult to install and use, but not FFMpegX. FFMpegX takes ffmpeg, adds a very simple Mac OS X UI on top, and packages it as an application bundle. No files to put in strange places, and simple to use.
I highly recommend it. It comes preconfigured with setting for common file formats and automatically recognizes the input format. You can simply tell it to convert a directory of files from whatever format they were in to H.264 QuickTime movies and it'll do it.

Converting Audio Files to AAC format

I have a mix of MPEG and AAC files in iTunes. Is there an advantage to converting all files to AAC?

YOGenereally, you shouldn't convert from a lossy format AAC or MP3) to another lossy fomrat.
It's called loss because you lose information when you convert it.
If you only use these files on the computer and the iPod, I'd recommend AAC. Better quality at same bit rate as MP3.

Manual procedure is good but somehow it takes much time and there is small surety that the result will accurate viz as per your expectations. For acute conversion of Mac Outlook
mails to Windows Outlook 2007/2010/2013 and other editions of MS-Outlook, all these conversions are smartly done through with the assistance of a third party tool, currently there are lot of tools available, only few of them are useful and reached at our expectations.
As I found this (given) site after getting lots of searches and inspections along with tools study.
Here is the link: http://www.olmconversion.olm-to-pst.com/
This is the site that helps me to find exact conversion of My Mac Outlook OLM files to Windows Outlook 2007, hope this also assists you to converting your Outlook 2011 mails to
PST format, as it do it to me and it will definitely do it to you too.

How to convert .doc file into .rtf file in Java?

Hello All,

Thanks and Regards

MS-Word formats (DOC) are notorious for not being standardized from one version to another, so what ever you get will be version specific. If you must do the conversion, I suggest you do a MS-Script in Word to do it or one of the .Net languages. As stated the Word format from version to version is not standardized.
