Converting .rm (realaudio) file to AIFF?

I've been researching for a long time and haven't found a solution. Is there a shareware program that can convert real audio .rm audio files to something iTunes can recognize?
Much appreciated.

Either of these programs can do it. They don't convert, but re-record the audio in your selected format.

How do I convert an M4a file to AIFF

I am attempting to convert an audio file using QT into aiff so that i can import it into a Final Cut Pro project. However, I am having trouble converting this file.
~Jeryl Marcus

Boy am I confused.
The audio format of most CD's is already in .aiff format. Just drag it off the CD.
.m4a files can also be "converted" to .aiff via QuickTime (or even in iTunes).
.m4p files (protected) are purchased songs and QuickTime will not convert them. iTunes can be used to create an audio CD (back to .aiff) however.
The last possible problem is the "protected" CD's from Sony. I don't know if they "lock" the individual files or they entire CD.

How can I convert MP3 file to AIFF to use in FCP?

Hi guys,
How can I convert an MP3 file to AIFF file to use it in Final Cut Pro?
Anyone please,
Thanks in advance,
Zia

#5 Imported music from CD or iTunes
Shane's Stock Answer #5:
To get music into FCP, it needs to be an AIFF file at 48khz, 16 bit stereo. So if you want a song from a CD, you go into the iTunes Preferences and set this up under the IMPORTING tab:
File > preferences > importing > import using - AIFF encoder > Setting - Custom
Sample Rate - 48.000 kHz
Sample size - 16 bit
Channels - Stereo
If you have an mp3 that you want to use, then you can convert it thru iTunes as well.
If the piece of music you want to use is something you purchased thru iTunes, I'm afraid I can't help you there. There are copywrite issues that prevent files from being converted into the format that FCP can recognize.

Problem converting music file into aiff: 'empty' aiff file

I can't get on with my edit!! Problem: I try to convert a music file so I can use it in a sequence as background music. When I convert (export using quicktime conversion) the mp3 file into a aiff file (choosing bit depth 16 and 48000 khz) I can convert the file in an aiff file, but then, when I import this aif file and I want to listen to it, it doesn't contain any music, sound doesn't show up, as if it was empty (though shows 3 MB and right duration). What is going on here, what am I doing wrong??
Please help!!

It's not DRM protected, not coming from Itunes store... In fact it worked before but I don't know why it doesn't now, following all FCE instructions... MartinR you're right, it works when converting directly in itunes and then importing into FCE.
Thanks guys!

Will Quicktime Pro convert/compress .dv files to Quicktime?

I have .dv movies that are taking up so much space on my hard-drive. I purchased Quicktime Pro to compress those files so they will take up less space. I don't see in the tutorial how to do this. Could someone please point me in the right direction so I can see how to do this? Thanks!

Will Quicktime Pro convert/compress .dv files to Quicktime?
Of course.
I don't see in the tutorial how to do this. Could someone please point me in the right direction so I can see how to do this?
This is impossible to do until you define what you mean by "QuickTime."
Basically, a "QuickTime" (MOV) file is any form of dat that can be placed in an MOV file container -- not a compression format in and of itself. Therefore, your first step is to determine what you really want to do here. For instance, a DV (.dv) stream file normally consists of an audio DV compressed track along with a video DV compressed track. DV(25) files normally contain audio and video tracks having a data rate on the order of 28.5 Mbps each (or about a 57 Mbps total average data rate). As you indicated, these do make for rather large files. You could, of course, reduce the total data rate by nearly half if you merge the original video track with AIFF (linear PCM) converted audio (or even smaller if you use an AAC audio track). The catch here is that QT Pro does not have a DV "pass thorough" video option which allows you to simply convert the audio while retaining the original DV video. So unless you are willing to manually convert the audio track and then manually replace the original Audio track with your converted audio, you would normally have to convert both audio and video to another compression format.
In this latter case, you could select any valid codec supported by QT as augmented by installed components. Typical possibilities would be AIC/AIFF, unlimited H.264/AAC, Motion-JPEG/AIFF Photo-JPEG/AIFF, supported MPEG4/AAC or H.264/AAC profiles with limited data rates. These compression options are all compatible with iMovie '08 editing and represent a full range of possible data rates (which in turn determine your final file size). For instance, an AIC/AIFF file would normally end up with a total data rate on the order of 20-22 Mbps with an unlimited H.264/AAC about 16-18 Mbps, M-JPEG 10 Mbps, Photo-JPEG 8-9 Mbps, and MPEG4/AAC or H.264 as low as you can stand the loss in quality and still retain a video track.
These various compression formats basically represent a compromise between file size and quality with the quoted data rates being typical for SD content with an "average" quality setting. While actual data rates are always dependent on the actual file converted, the stated averages should provide some idea as to what you could expect in comparison to your original source file -- i.e., the AIC/AIFF file would be expected to be about 62-65% the size of your DV file, unlimited H.264/AAC 28-31%, M-JPEG/AIFF 17-18%, Photo-JPEG 14-15%, and MPEG4/AAC or H.264/AAC in the 3-5% range with "reasonable" quality levels.
Since each codec has somewhat different characteristics and user options, I will not go into specifics for each here. What I would recommend at this point is for you to select a short file with typical content and convert it wising the various codecs and determine what compromise in file size and quality you can live with at the display size you plan to use. This in turn will likely depend to some extent on what you plan to do with the final file. For the archiving of files for later use/editin, you like want files to retain as much quality as possible which, in turn, usually implies large file sizes. On the other hand, distribution files can be much more highly compressed as a "finished" product which you don't intend to re-compress or edit further. Remember, when you compress a file more compact format you are literally "throwing away" data so you should be most judicious in selecting that appropriate format to which to compress your files for the saving of file space.

File Conversion: AIFF to MP3

iTunes claims it makes file conversions. I followed the instructions in Help, but it doesn't seem to work.
I need to convert AIFF to MP3.
a bonus would be this: convert a WMA to either AIFF or MP3.
thanks!

iTunes claims it makes file conversions.
iTunes does conversions into another format.
That means, the original will be unaltered and you have a copy in the chosen format.
Set the desired format in Preferences>Advanced>Importing, select the file and choose 'Convert Selection to xxx' from the Advanced menu in the menubar.
iTunes will create a copy of the original in the chosen format.
iTunes does not support WMA. Convert these files on a PC (several converters available) if you have access to one, or use EasyWMA to convert them.
Hope this helps.

Converting Soundtrack Pro files to MP3 or wav

Can someone tell me how to convert a .stmp file into an mp3 or wave file? Do I need third party software to do this? Thanks.

If it's a stmp file, I suppose it's a multitrack project. Go to the File menu and select Export>Export Mix. In the window appearing, you'll be able to select the bounce as AIFF, SDII, WAV or AAC but not mp3. If you want a mp3, use AIFF and use iTunes to convert it.

Do I need to convert my AAC files before burning an audio CD?

I import all my music CDs into iTunes 9 as AAC. When I want to burn a playlist onto a CD as an audio CD, do I have to manually convert my the file into an AIFF format before burning a CD? I think I read that regular CD players cannot play songs that are in AAC format and must be in AIFF format. The CD will be played on a regular car CD player.

Do I need to convert my AAC files before burning an audio CD?
No.
Simply selecting *Audio CD* in the Burn window is all you need to do.

ALL MY DESKTOP APPS CONVERTED TO PDF FILES.

After sending an urgent email attachment in Adobe PDF to Government Offcom, all my Desktop applications in windows 7 64 bit have been converted to PDF files and cannot be opened.   The attachment used was sent to me by my Secretary remotely using an old MAC.
I can return my laptop to normal operation by un installing my Adobe Reader 11 app, but the problem returns when I re Download Adobe Reader

Please assist asap as this is very urgent right now for several genuine reasons.
Many thanks.   Derek Horder.

Is it wise to keep the Nikon camera files "DSC's" after downloading them and converting to DNG files via Adobe converter for lightroom use. In other words do the DNG files have all the raw data I would ever need in processing or should I save the camera'

Is it wise to keep the Nikon camera files "DSC's" after downloading them and converting to DNG files via Adobe converter for lightroom use. In other words do the DNG files have all the raw data I would ever need in processing or should I save the camera's DSC files?

DNG files do not contain some metadata supplied by the camera, which can be used by the manufacturer's software. Thus, if you don't keep the original Raw photo, you will lose this information.
If your 1000% sure you're never going to use the manufacturer's software, then this isn't a problem. But who can be sure what software you will be using 10 years from now?
