Converting podcasts into audiobooks

Does anyone know if there is a way to convert podcasts into audiobooks?
Some podcasts when they 1st came out were in the form of podcasts, new one are audiobooks & I want to tidy up my podcast folder.
Thanks

yes, and no. You can change the existing files to audiobooks, but all newly downloaded files will still be podcasts.
If you want to wait until the "podiobook" is finished downloading, then convert to audiobooks, you will still find the actual files in the itunes media\podcasts\YYY directory.
I enjoy podiobooks.com serialized books and routinely go through this falderall. Wouldn't it be nice if audiobooks, however they are added to iTunes, could be properly labelled and categorized? I miss the "audiobooks" tab too.

New iTunes 4.9 doesn't convert .mpg into .mp3 or aac ?

hello support!
I'm a producer in a german radiostation. we're working with soundfiles saved in .mpg files (mpeg1 audio). In past (with version 4.8) it was possible to import that files into itunes and convert it into mp3 or aac. Now, with that new podcast version, it doesn't work. If I try, I get an unknown error "(-50)". does anyone know about this problem?
and another question: why does itunes play that .mpg files without any problems and ipod doesn't ???

Dennis,
What I did:
1) I bought apple quicktime pro do not follow me in this it won't help you.. I got angry and at the apple store they said I would get my money back because I asked them BEFORE I bought and they said it would work. It doesn't
2) I downloaded MPEG streamclip (free) at http://www.apple.com/downloads/macosx/video/mpegstreamclip.html
AND....
It works! You do not need to buy the Apple quicktime MPEG 2 component rubbish, you do not need it if you convert just audio!
I have MP2 files with 384 kbbs and I was looking a bit odd when they showed up as 192 kbbs but that is per stereo channel so the total comes to 384 again.
I transferred the files into AIFF and it works I do see a conversion into AC3 is that AAC? well if you can convert to AIFF you can use iTunes again to convert to AAC or MP3!
so now you can do the job! I am now, after a few hours, again back to start to work..... thanks iTunes boys!
there is another app at http://www.dekorte.com/projects/shareware/SoundConverter/ is seems to do the job as well but it'll cost you 10 dollar. And I do not know if it is as good as the free app...

Copy portions of Podcasts into music library iTunes 7

Hello,
I used to copy portions of Podcasts into my Music library in iTunes 6. On the downloaded Podcasts, I go to Information and then in the Tab "Options". There you can specify a start and stop time (corresponding to the section you want to hear). I then go to the "Advanced" menu and select "Convert the selection to AAC". This ended up creating a portion of the Podcast in the Library i iTunes 6.
In iTunes 7, the same works the same way, BUT at the end of the process, the copied portion of Podcasts is not visible in the "Music" part of the Library (nor anywhere else).
When searching for the file with Spotlight, the file (copied and converted to AAC portion of Podcast, thus a m4a file) is there, but apparently "not seen" by iTunes!
Anyone experienced the same... and found the workaround???
Thanks a lot!

Hi!
Finally, something similar to my experience! I usually save a podcast by using "Convert to MP3". In iTunes 6 the file would show up in my "Library" as music. In iTunes 7 the file goes into limbo... It is not music nor a podcast anymore.
So now: I convert the podcast to MP3, find it in my "Recently Added" smart folder. Then I change the genre to "savedpodcast" so it will show up in a smart folder corresponding to the genre "savedpodcast". If you option-delete an item in a smart folder, you delete the file from the iTune Library.
I hope Apple will work on this situation because it is so easy to just "lose" those former podcast files in the iTunes 7 Library.

Import mp3 podcast into iweb?

I exported my m4a podcast from garageband to iweb, and it worked flawlessly. Unfortunately, not everyone could hear the podcast on their phones. I converted the m4a file to mp3 using itunes, but now don't know how to get it back to garageband, so I can export it back to iweb. Do you know of another way I can import a mp3 podcast into iweb?

I don't know what phones this may or may not work work on but, I have been playing with jPlayer which works on "iOS" so iPhone, iPad, iPod Touch:

I have a string value that stores data like 'NYK,IND,SGP,GER'
FOR EXAMPLE
V_CITY_CODE = 'NYK,IND,SGP,GER'

I finished making an animated .gif image in FireWorks. My question is, how do I convert it into video so that when I edit video, that every video editing program recognizes it? Long story short, How do I convert animated .gif files into video formats?

I worked in Adobe FireWorks to make the animated .gif. What program do I use to convert the file from .gif to any video format: .mp4, .m4v, .avi, .wmv, etc. I want to convert it into video format, so that QuickTime Player plays the video, I can insert it into iMovie '11 and edit, and also insert it into Final Cut Pro X and edit video.

Thanks for getting back with me so promptly. It has taken me this time to connect with the proper people to find out the information you requested.
The camera used to film the class was a Panasonic AG-HMC40P, owned by a local cable TV station; they use Kodak video encoding software, and a SD card was used to store the video. The file extension is .mts, and the mime file is MPEG 2 transport. He said I probably need an AVCHD converter, and the Mac app store lists 8 of those options, 4 free and 4 for up to $9.99. He said I'll also need a converter for later plans of posting on YouTube or on the website, and while some of those in the app store might work for the later needs, he knows one app called "Compressor" that would work for the uploading later. He also suggested I could try renaming the .mts file to .MP2T, but he wasn't sure that would work.
They don't work with Macs at the studio, but I had thought I could have some lessons there in editing, and apply what I learned to my iMac and iMovie.
First, though, I have to be able to see it and review it!
Thanks again!

How to convert .class into .jar file

Hi,
How to convert .class into .jar file

jsf_VWP5.5.1 wrote:
Hi,
How to convert .class into .jar fileFrom a command prompt, cd to the location of your .class file(s).
If you want to create a simple jar, use: jar -cf Whatever.jar Whatever.class
If you want to compile all .class files in a directory into a jar, use *.class instead.
Now, I'm going to assume you want to create an executable jar... here's how to do that:
1) Create a blank text file; for this example, lets call it main.txt.
2) In the first line of main.txt, type: Main-class: Whatever ('Whatever' should be the name of the class in your program where the main() method is located)
3) Press enter to go to the next line (someone please correct me if I'm wrong, but if you don't insert the line break/CR after the Main-class: statement, this will not work... in my experience, this is true)
4) Make sure you save this file in the same directory as your .class file(s).
5) Type: jar -cmf Whatever.jar main.txt Whatever.class
...and that's about it. For more information on the usage of the jar command and to understand the switches (such as -cmf), try jar --help.
Hope that helps.

You can't.

I have a number of pages with html extension in different files. Is it possible to merge them into one file? Is it possible to convert them into another file type such as PDF, MOBI, or EPUB? Thanks

While downloading an eBook from internet, I found a book in a folder containing around 123 files, which is equivalent to the number of pages of the book.
My interest is to bring them together in one file so that I can read it at a time. As the interface is not comfortable with html, I also like to convert it into another more suitable file format.

Hello djensen1x,
Could you please let me know what version of Acrobat are you using.
Also, tell me your workflow of combining those PDF files?
Please share the screenshot of the error message that you get.
Hope to get your response.

Upgrade to Snow Leopard - it's compatible with the latest version of iTunes, and still supports PowerPC applications.
$19.99 - http://store.apple.com/us/product/MC573Z/A/mac-os-x-106-snow-leopard
Snow Leopard is required if you wanted to upgrade to Lion, anyway, which you may want to in the future if the latest version of iTunes no longer supports Snow Leopard.

How do I convert .pdf into searchable OCR using Adobe Acrobat Capture 3.0?

How do I convert .pdf into searchable OCR using Adobe Acrobat
Capture 3.0?
Our division is digitizing it's files, and we've been using
Adobe Acrobat 5.0 (2). We've 'scanned-in' several hundred
documents, but they have been saved as .pdf files (which are
currently not 'searchable', as they are only scanned images).
We just received the Adobe Acrobat Capture 3.0 program, and
we were told that we would be able to scan-in any new documents and
save them both as .pdf and OCR documents (Optical Character
Recognition). Therefore, we were told, we would be able to search
through the body of the document, using OCR, and not just through
the document filename, as we had been doing before.
HOWEVER, we don't know how to use this new OCRing program.
Also, we don't know how to convert the .pdf documents which we've
already scanned into OCR recognizable documents.
Is someone able to assist us here in this forum?
Merci beaucoup / Shokran jazilan / Thank you very much!
