Converting Wav files to edit in iDVD or imovie

I have a bunch of wave files that I want to burn to a dvd that I can play in a DVD player. IDVD and imovie don't seem to accept them. Short of buying expensive software like Final Cut how can I convert them and what format is best?

To use iMovie, export as DV Stream for video, 48 kHz for audio.

Converting WAV files to AAC Error convert Can't read from or write to disk

For several weeks I had no problem converting WAV files (from an Olympus Digital Recorder) to AAC format in iTunes, then one day I clicked "Convert Selection to AAC" and received the message "Error occured while converting the file. The disk could not be read from or written to." There is no Error # associated with the Error message.

I recently spent over 14 hours converting all my CD songs to WAV. WAV conversion was the only one of two options available with my older Nero software, and MP3 conversion was not an option. I intended to make mixed CD's. By the time I was done, I had over 300 songs that take up over 17 GB in this WAV format.
The thought of sitting even more endless hours making these CD's made me even more exhausted, and I realized that I should get with the times and get an MP3 player. So, I bought an iPod directly from Apple two days ago (12/16), and get this, MaclessInAZ, the sales person told me that I all my WAV files could be imported into my iPod with iTunes. (!!!)
I am very glad to have read this thread before I got my iPod. I would have been so upset if there was no easy solution. My new iPod is supposed to be delivered tomorrow, and I am looking forward to getting it. Many thanks to weavercs for the information on the Switch program that converts WAV to MP3. Even if I decide to buy the full version of Switch, it is a lot less expensive than other conversion programs that I just found online, like Roxio.

Urgent How to convert wav files into mp3?

Can anyone plz tell me how can i convert wav file into mp3 using JMF? tell me any sample programme, any method in JMF........ help me plz

Examples could be found on the JMF Solutions page.
Only I can say about mp3 through network - it's hardly possible. I recommend GSM for compression2transmit. It could be used via GSM content descriptor. I'm not sure, but I suppose MP3 is supported only for files, there's no MP3.RTP or such (if you want to transmit files, it should not cause any problems).
About JavaSound - it does not matter... You still need JMF to be installed on Client, and AppletCapture to be enabled. Futrher - would it be DirectSound, JavaSound, or anything else - just the deal of JMF.
I tried to use JavaSound capture with proceeding AudioInputStream to JMF, but failed to do this.
About your problem - best solution seems like that:
capture sound
put it into processor
set format to GSM
transmit
so then, server receives it and formats it as it likes.
If you want to transmit exactly files, you should use just some of pure java after capturing. java.net, or such thing.

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.

Distortion after converting wav file to mp3

Hello,
I am working with a .wav file of 8k sample rate, 16-bit, mono of a Skype conference call that was recorded through the computer. The wav is file is Microsoft ACM: Microsoft ADPCM. The audio quality of the original is not great, as you can imagine, but when I make my edits and convert to mp3 it sounds horrible. I don't know the technical term for it, but it sounds muffled and distorted--the effect you get when you cup your hand in front of your mouth and move it around while talking. I'm at a loss for what to do. Is there some setting I need to change before converting? I know it's a low sample rate (I usually work with 44.1K), would that contribute to the problem?
Any help is greatly appreciated!
Thank you.

In a quick test, I was able to get significantly better results with an 8K, 16-bit source converting to MP3 when changing the MP3 setting to 16Khz. In the File > Save As dialog, after selecting MP3, click the "Change" button next to "Sample Type" and change the sample rate there. The file size was practically unchanged, but the audio quality was increased and looking at both files in spectral view showed a definite improvement.
Edit: Oops, I responded via e-mail and didn't realize this was posted to the Audition 3 forum. I suspect the results will still be better with the MP3 encoder in Au3 - both are by Fraunhofer. Here were the differences I saw when writing to 8K vs. 16K. The resulting file was 29KB in both cases.
MP3 saved at 8K Sample Rate setting
MP3 saved at 16K Sample Rate setting.

Converting .avi files for use in iDVD

I have multiple .avi files that I'd like to add to a DVD using iDVD. These files are in their original format at 30 kb/sec and not compressed at all so they are HUGE...totaling almost 20G.
What is the best way to convert these files so that they can be imported into iDVD and fit on a single DVD. The files would be about an hour and a half playing time so I am hoping that can be done. I realize quality may be compromised but I'm willing to lose a little bit.

Roxio Toast is your best option IMO but if you want to stay within the iApps then you'll first have to add the avi files to iMovie => iDvd. That or use a third part app likeMpegStreamclip (free download):
I suggest you do not exceed 120 mins playback for SL Dvd-R
Hope this helps but if not just come on back.

Can not use or convert wav files

Hi,
Brand new user and have been trying to use wav files on the Ipod. It updates them fine, plays them fine in ITunes, yet in the Ipod it skips over them. All files from CD's are working fine. I tried to convert them to ACC?? and that didn't work either.
I would appreciate any assistance as I try and figure it all out.
Thanks
Mike

Have you tried MP3?
Go to "edit", "preferences", "advanced", "importing". Then click "use error correction when reading audio disks". If this doesn't work, go back through those steps I listed till you get to the importing part of advanced. Then change the "import using" part to MP3. Then try converting the WAV songs to MP3. If this doesn't work. Try importing those cds in MP3.

HT3819 How do I convert WAV files in iTunes Library to MP3?

I have a SwiMP3 device that plays music through headphones while I swim. It only accepts MP3 files and many of the files in my iTunes library are WAV files. How do I convert these to MP3? Thanks, David T

In your iTunes, set Edit/Preferences/Import Settings to MP3. Then highlight the song you want to convert and click on Advanced/Create MP3 version. A second version of the song will now appear in your Library.

Artwork/converting wav files

How does one get artwork onto wav files? If that's not possible, will converting solve the issue? iTunes help has what seems to be a simple way to convert wav to mp3, but I couldn't get it to work.
Has anyone solved this dilemma?
If it matters, I'm trying to add "misc." artwork, not an actual album cover or anything.

i was just running into this in another thread. here's what Zevoneer suggested:
+If the tracks are in your iTunes library (and there is no DRM copy protection on them) go to Edit>Preferences>General (or iTunes>Preferences>General on a Mac) and choose the Import Settings button. Pick the format you want to convert your files to (MP3 for example). in your iTunes library or playlist highlight the song or songs you want to convert and go to the Advanced menu on the top bar of iTunes and choose, again for example "Create MP3 version":How to convert a song to a different file format. You can't use iTunes to convert tracks that are not in your iTunes library.+
does that fix your issue ?

Itunes won't import or convert .wav files?

I have a bunch of .wav files that I wanted to import to itunes, so that I could convert/burn them to cd's. I don't have any problem playing the files in Quicktime. But when I import them, although it appears to work fine, if I try to play it, it won't play, it skips to the next song. When I try to convert to mp3, it gives me the message:
Error occurred while converting the file "xxx".
The disk could not be read from or written to.
The files are just on my desktop, not on a CD. I don't have a problem converting other files. What could be causing this?

Same complaint here. I use an 80gb iPod Classic with an Alesis iMultimix USB8 live mixer to record performances at our local open mic. Starting in April, the WAV files from the iPod would automatically stream into iTunes when I connected the iPod, and it was a snap to select a whole evening's worth and convert the lot to MP3 to save archiving space (by a ton). Starting in September, I seem to have some kind of random corruption of these files.
Some hang up the program immediately upon being selected and the "convert to mp3" chosen from the Advanced menu. Others start to convert and then hang up, usually with 10-15 seconds left to convert. Others convert just as before without problems. I have had to force-quit iTunes a number of times to unlock the system. This is getting really old, and what was a semi-automated process has become one of picking through the files one by one, force-quitting when it hangs, then deleting the culprit when I re-open iTunes. I'm losing some irreplaceable recordings, which pretty much negates the whole purpose of capturing everything every week.
I don't recall when I made the last prompted update of iTunes, but it very likely could have been just before this started happening.
Another glitch in this recording method that's a bit off topic: there really should be a two-step procedure to delete a voice memo. More than once I have deleted an abortive performance, then recorded the next one. When I pause it and the menu comes up, it's easy not to notice that the selected option is still "delete". I make about 20 of these recordings every week, and it's my habit to select "stop and save" quickly so as to get the next one started. If we got a second screen asking if we're sure we want to delete, it would be easy to catch.
The voice memo feature is great, especially with a mixer than can use the iPod as a hard drive to capture live performances, but the software needs work!

Problems converting WAV file

I'm trying to convert a ~250MB wav file to an MP3 using iTunes and I keep getting an error message that says:
"The disk could not be read from or written to". I can't play the file in iTunes either.
Does anyone know what the limit is for converting such files?
Anyone have any suggestions? I'm gonna try using GarageBand to convert the file perhaps...

If Garageband doesn't work, try Audacity.

Converting WAV files to mp3 upon import

I have changed my import settings in itunes preferences to encode incoming wav files to mp3, restarted my computer, but when I import the wav file, it stays a wav file, no matter how I set my preferences. Why can't I make mp3's, or that is how the F**K can I get my computer to do what I'm asking it???
P.S. I still love my mac, but jesus, come on!!!

I have changed my import settings in itunes preferences to encode incoming wav files to mp3, restarted my computer, but when I import the wav file, it stays a wav file, no matter how I set my preferences.
Import will only convert to the selected format when your RIP from CD or select a file already in iTunes then menu Advanced -> Create {import settings} version.
Make sure your Import settings are MP3.
Hold Option, go to iTunes menu Advanced -> Convert selection to MP3, then select the WAV files you want to add to yoru library
This will convert them to MP3 and add them at the same time.
