Converting MP4a to MP3 using QT Pro

I am using Garageband (iLife '06) to record material for my church's podcast. Using the "Share" menu and exporting the file to disk generates an mp4a file. While I like the format, I am concerned that users who don't own iPods but want the file on their player won't be able to access the podcast. I haven't run across an mp3 option in the QT Pro export drop down menu. Can I use QT Pro to convert these mp4a files to mp3s?
I apologize if this question has been handled in another post. My searches were fruitless.

6.5 is only 13 years old.Try three years old. QT v6.5 was realeased on 18 December 2003 -- v6.5.1 on 28 Apr 04, v6.5.2 on 27 Oct 04, and v6.5.3 on 12 Oct 05. On the other hand, QuickTime 6.0 for Mac OS, released on July 15, 2002, was a major update, introducing MPEG-4 capabilities, including MPEG-4 Part 2 video and AAC. MPEG-2 playback was available with the purchase (due to MPEG licensing fees) of an additional component.

The normal situation would be wanting to convert .m4a (AAC or Apple Lossless) to .mp3 as these are both music file formats. The extension .mp4 is normally for a video file and iTunes itself will only convert music files from one format to another.
For details on how to convert between music formats see http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1550
If you want to convert the audio track of an .mp4 video to a .mp3 file then you are going to need to use a different utility.

QuickTime can play .mp3 files and can edit audio formats but it can't export to .mp3.
Use iTunes for that.

Convert text to mp3 using festival

Here is an interesting link that I found regarding converting pdf, html, etc to mp3 using festival
http://linuxgazette.net/117/anonymous.html
I installed festival, one voice, and ghostscript, but the above method gave me the following error while converting a pdf file to mp3

It seems "text2speech" which I suppose is bundled with festival is not there. Where do I go from here?
Also, I tried kallpc and don voices which are not good enough. could anyone please suggest some better voice.

I know how old this thread is
Extra's Festival package still doesn't include the binary speech tools (e.g. text2wave), and I'm having problems building from the above PKGBUILD.
This is a partially-highlighted build log, in case anyone is brave enough to have a look at it.
It's long -- I apologize. There were so many errors and warnings that I wasn't sure where to snip it. CTRL-F "error" and Firefox's "Highlight all" might help here.
I was a bit gutted; I finally got everything working/found a voice I liked, only to have to uninstall and try again
P.S. Should I be using Phonon rather than ALSA in KDE 4? Testing KTTSD with Phonon (after I had installed Festival from extra) caused it to crash, but I'm wondering if it's worth trying to iron that problem out as well.

No sound after converting .mov to .wmv using QT Pro...

Any idea why this might happen? sound works fine in the mov file, but when I "Export" it as a .wmv -- video looks great, but no sound.

QuickTime Pro doesn't export to WMP formats without some third party software help. Try their forums:

Using audio convert to make MP3 much bett

Hello,
Does anyone here using Audio converter - software provided along with A2ZS?
Well, i played with it last night and found something, still something not clear about it.
Im sure a lot of us here do store MP3 or WMP sound tracks on our hard dri'ves. I dont know how the sound to be compressed to be stuffed in our moderate hard disk size, some though, and this means quality of the sound tracks were much degraded. Dont know if it's correct to say it but let assumes it is.
Now, with this Audio Conveter, the source format (MP3 or WMP..usually played at 92kbs) will be easily converted to 96/24bit - WMP Lossless format for 2 channel or 5 channel at a huge sound track, about 0 times larger in size compared to the source format, there are still other destination formats i have tried but this giving the largest size sound tracks after converted, I guess so!
It could be that the Audio Converter has restored all the properties before being compressed back to its original state and that makes it big size, pls anybody correct me!
I played with it kind of late at night so not yet test the sound quality after convert, will try later. But anybody could tell how much the sound will be improved after being converted from WMP/MP3 (Source format) to WMP Lossless (destination format), compared to CD original state? Will the WMP Lossless be better or worse than the WMP Pro option?
If this is improving sound quality, it's worth investing money to buy an extra 80gb hard dri've, 'cause this eat up a lot lot of disk space! Dont you guys think so?
Thanks a lot

hi Singo,Thanks for your reply, so what the heck is it created for? I dont understand how people spent time and money for something that is not working at all!!! Or they just think that stuffing alot of things in the applications package would make the users feeling better, though it's useless!
The converter is just a program to help convert to another format or reduce the bitrate(file size). Some people prefer to use only mp3 and not wma and here's where the program come in use. You got to understand programs better before making such comment.

How to convert 14GB to 2GB for IMDB upload using FinalCut Pro 7?

Hi,
I am submitting a 12 minute film to festivals and need to convert it from 14GB to around 2GB for best quality results in order to upload it to IMDB so that it could be streamed. I use FinalCut Pro 7 but the compression/export settings for the file are proving to be tricky.
Once I click on Export>Quicktime video
What settings do I choose to have the file be closest to 2GB and have the audio and video synced perfectly, maintaining the good quality of footage shot on Red?
14GB footage specs:
Dimensions: 1920 X 1080.
Codecs: Apple ProRes 422 (HQ), Linear PCM, Timecode
Color profile: HD (1-1-1)
Duration: 11:59
Audio Channels: 2
When I converted it to DVD: I got a DVD .m2v file around 465MB, it that the highest quality I can get for a DVD version?
Also, When I set the settings to 1280 x 720 it resulted in a file size of 275.4MB, when I wanted it to be around 2GB
Please help me asap. I need to get this done today. Thanks alot in advance!

Export a full quality file....FILE>EXPORT>Quicktime Movie. Self contained, sequence settings.
Take that file into COMPRESSOR. Look for the Quicktime 7 Streaming options...choose the H.264 LAN preset. SUBMIT.

Cannot convert webpages to pdf using Acrobat X Pro with IE9 and Windows 7, worked fine until a few m

Cannot convert webpages to pdf using Acrobat X Pro with IE9 and Windows 7, worked fine until a few months and updates ago

I tried your suggestion, not knowing that the direct pdf printer would also "save as" PDF, but when I try your suggestion and use the Adobe PDF printer that is a direct creation of the PDF from the browser (IE9), instead of the "black out" areas I get when I use the "Convert to" button, I get missing blocks of the resulting PDF, and only get the first 1/4 to 1/3 of the webpage.
Just to clarify, when I said I print the webpage and then scan, that is a work around I have to do if I need a scanned version of the way a webpage appears on a particular date and time, instead of the one step process I used to be able to do when Adobe Acrobat would actually convert the webpage to a pdf without blackout areas or, if I try your suggestion, blank spots with a partial webpage. But the idea was one I had not thought of and I appreciated the thought.
Yes, Acrobat was updated, and is updated, and was working fine until a few months ago, Win 7 and Office 32 bit versions, Office 2010

Converting a tape to MP3 using Garageband and my MacBook...

I'm having a problem converting some of my old books on tape to MP3 using my MacBook and my stereo. I have a cord with mini-plig attachments on both ends - one end is connected to the headphone out jack on my stereo and the other is connected to the mini-attachment next to the headphone jack on the MacBook. For whatever reason whenever I try to record all I get is distorted static.
Any ideas on how to proceed with this?

You may need to adjust the volume levels both on the stereo output and the MacBook Sound Input Level in System Preferences. You need to adjust it so that the signal isn't amplified too much resulting in clipping or distortion.
You should be able to preview the sound coming into the MacBook to adjust those levels until it has an acceptable sound quality.

Using QuickTime Pro to convert a series of JPEG images into a QT movie?

Can I use QuickTime Pro to convert a series of JPEG images into a QT (uncompressed) movie? Thanks...
Windows XP

Yes.
One of the features of the QuickTime Pro upgrade is "Open Image Sequence". It imports your sequencially named (1.jpg, 2.jpg) liked sized images (any format that QT understands) and allows you to set a frame rate.
http://www.apple.com/quicktime/tutorials/slideshow.html
You can also adjust the frame rate by adding your image .mov file to any audio clip. Simply "copy" (Command-A to select all and then Command-C to copy) and switch to your audio track.
Select all and "Add to Selection & Scale". Open the Movie Properties window and "Extract" your new (longer or shorter) file and Save As.
As you've posted in the Mac Discussion pages but your profile says XP you'll need to subsitute Control key where I reference Command key.

I used to be able to convert songs to mp3 files, but dont see how to do it now

There used to be a place at the top of one's iTune Library where you could convert files to mp3's. I have changed computers and in the new iTunes download, I don't see it. Is there not a way to do that now? Not giving additional information about my Apple products because they are irrelevant to this question. I am using a Windows 8 system

I guess you can search the internet for audio converter to convert songs to mp3. There are many audio conversion software in the market. You can search the keywords on Google for it easily. Most are able to do audio conversion between various audio file formats as well as to extract audio tracks from videos. Just for your reference. If your iTunes works, I guess it can meet your needs.
