Created audio only podcast, too big to post on my .Mac website

I'm new with GB and thought it would be a easy way to record my voice for my daughter (military deployed to mid east right now). Its a basic female voice track, about 9 1/2 mins long, with no effects, no art, nothing but me talking. The podcast is over 100MB and that's way too big to post on my .Mac website. I already chnaged the compression to micro, low quality. Why is it so big? is that normal? Would recording just any audio track, not a podcast, be smaller? thanks

100MB for 10 minutes would be an uncompressed AIFF file. You need to convert it to an MP3 file in iTunes. Please refer to HangTime's 'NeverFail Method', substituting MP3 for AIFF: I would suggest setting it to 128kb/s stereo, 64kb/s mono.

Browse audio only podcasts in store?

I own a 1st gen iPod. Is there a way to sort out all the audio only podcasts in the iTunes Store?

Linda,
The Show and Share is typically used for video content sharing.
The supported formats are Windows Media, H264, and Flash.
That said you can always take an existing audio file and
try to transcode into an audio only video file.
I tested the following scenario and it does work on the
show and share.
I took and audio only .mp3 file and opened it using Quicktime.
I then exported the audio to a video using H264 format.
I then verified the Media codecs in the new transcoded file.
I uploaded to Show and Share and it plays the Audio\empty video
file fine.
I hope this helps!

.mov file too big for posting on my website

i am using i-photo to create a slideshow. i've used photos that were 72 dpi on one slideshow and photos that were 300 dpi on another. i have about 55 photos on each slideshow. the 72 dpi slideshow is actually larger than the 300. what gives? i can't post either on my website for display. they are both too big (over 42mb). can anyone help me out on this and maybe give me some insight?
thanks-

Hi GinaP,
Yes, the 55 images equaling 42mb sounds right. What is the limitation that you have?
There might be 2 ways to reduce the total file size.
1: You may need to reduce the resolution (dimensions and file size) of each image. You can do this in iPhoto, select image, use the Share > Export, make sure you choose the 'Scale images no larger than: insert a smaller dimension that original. This will reduce resolution which in turn will reduce the file size. I would create a new folder on your desktop, name it appropriately and export into this folder. Afterwards, just take the folder and drop into iPhoto, will import and make your slideshow... BTW - you can batch export and resize
2: If you want to keep same image dimensions but need to reduce the file size, you will need to use export function again, but then you can open your images in PREVIEW, use the SAVE AS option, you will notice a 'Quality' slide, move this to the left to 'shrink' images... and again import and make your slide show.
It's alot of work, but I know of nothing else you can do to reduce file size w/o downloading another App...

Audio only podcasts

Hi,
Does anyone capture audio only files and make them available as podcasts using Show and Share?
If so, can you please tell me what products you use to transcode the audio file into a file that can be input into Show and Share?
I understand video files can be recorded directly in Show and Share (video and audio) and also that various video formats (captured on hand held devices) can be transcoded using MXE 3500 so the output file can be used with Show and Share.
My question pertains purely to captured audio files (using desktop and microphone only) and how they can be made available for use with Show and Share.
Many thanks

XML formatted Email Attachment created by CL_IXML is too big to be received

Dear all,
I followed the excellent web blog http://wiki.sdn.sap.com/wiki/display/Snippets/FormattedExcelasEmailAttachment
to pass an internal table (2MB in size, 18 columns * 6300 rows) to CL_IXML DOM and send this XML file as an formatted Excel attachment, it perfectly works, but the size of this XML attachment exceeded 8 MB, although I reduced it to 6MB successfully by simplying its Cell Attribute from
<Cell ss:StyleID="s62"><Data ss:Type="String">1E2</Data></Cell>
TO <Cell*><Data ss:Type="String">1E2</Data></Cell>.
but I cannot do the same on its Data Attribute, and it is still too big to be received by the mailbox of my third party users, is there any way to reduce it below to 3MB?
we need the attachment to be formatted Excel, and cannot request my third party receiver to do anything in Excl.
I am using ECC 6.0, 32 bit no-unicode, and SAP Gui 7.20.
looking forwarding to your reply
Peter Ding

You can try zipping the file and send it as attachment.
Use the FM SCMS_XSTRING_TO_BINARY to convert the XML to Binary. Do the ZIP using the method COMPRESS_BINARY of the class CL_ABAP_GZIP.

Elements 12, trouble restoring the catalogue from an external drive on my new Mac to another external drive - catalog too big for Mac HD.

I have completed a backup onto an external drive using Elements 12 on my PC running Windows XP. I am now trying to restore this backup onto my new Mac using another external drive as the destination as the catalog is too big to fit onto the Mac internal HD. All seems OK until I click the restore button then I get an error message "The Disc Drive in Mac HD does not contain a valid backup" The file names on the backup drive are visible on the Mac so I presume this backup must be valid so why is there a reference to the Mac HD?

System Preferences - Sharing. If you cannot find System Preferences, then use Command - Spacebar and type System Preference and when you see it in Spotlight (uper right) hit return.

Two-way video chat with other (audio-only) participants?

Is it possible to have a five-way chat in iChat with
. - myself and one other participant via video, and
. - three other participants via audio only?
I know there's an option for one-way video conferencing, where only one person in a conference has video and the other(s?) have audio, but what about two with video and the others with audio?
And if we did this, could the three audio participants see the two video participants even if the three don't participate via video?

Hi,
You can start A One Way Video chat with a Buddy without a Camera.
You can add others up to the standard 4 people (you and three others) and some can be audio Only.
You do have to have a Mac of a G4/1Ghz dual or above and have a Upload speed of 256 k at the very Least (Apple Specs say 384k) although more is preferable when you are Host.
Ideally the Host should be the fastest Mac with the fastest connection.
Invite Camera able Buddies first then Audio Only Buddies by clicking on the green A/V icon they are showing in the Buddy list.

How to create read only disk image?

I used to be able to create read-only encrypted disk images with Disk Utility in Mac OS 10.4.x (Tiger). In the Leopard version (10.5.7) of Disk Utility, the 'read only' option seems to be gone (but I can still do encryption). Does anyone know how this can be done?

A blank empty read only disk image has never been possible. If it's read-only, it cannot be modified, and so it would be blank and empty forever. Not much point in that.
If you want read-only and encryption on your finished disk image, you'll have to put your files into a folder, and then do File -> New -> Disk image from folder.

Video podcasts - no audio only playback

Hi,
I have the original iPhone and am a very active podcast user. Several of the podcasts I frequent are video format and it appears with the new 2.0 firmware the ability for audio only playback of video podcasts has been lost. It used to be that if you accessed a video podcast in iPod mode from More/Podcasts they would playback audio only. This was tremendously helpful as I often want to check email, surf Safari etc while listening to these podcasts. Now they will only playback in Video mode so if you navigate out of iPod mode to any other apps the podcast turns off. This was also helpful for saving battery life when walking around or unable to view the video.
Is everyone else using 2.0 firmware experiencing this? Does this sound like bug or lost feature?
Apple please fix/re-enable what was a great feature!
I appreciate hearing from others.
Thanks,
Steve

It seems to be doing the same on mine. I also used this feature and loved it. What's worse is that you can't turn off the screen with the sleep button, as that turns off the podcast playback too. So it seems you must be playing the video in order to hear it (wasting battery if your phone is in your pocket).
I can only guess they removed it as people got confused over why their video podcast was playing back in audio only. Make it an option that we can choose at least, rather than reduce the functionality this way.
PS. While I'm complaining, why is there still no "Shuffle by Album" option...

I'm trying to open a 900kb Word doc (240pages) in Pages but get this error message: Import Warning - A table was too big. Only the first 40 columns and 1,000 rows were imported.

Julian,
Pages simply won't support a table with that many rows. If you need that many, you must use another application.
Perhaps the originator could use a tabbed list rather than a table. That's the only way you will be able to contain a list that long in Pages. You can do the conversion yourself if you open the Word document in LibreOffice, Copy the Table, Paste the Table into Numbers, Export the Numbers doc to CSV, and import to Pages. In Pages Find and Replace the Commas with Tabs.
There are probably other ways, but that's what comes to mind here.

You can install MAMPon you mac (free web server, no configuration needed).
Put ePub file in Applications/MAMP/htdocs and you can download locally (quicker than Dropbox, Mega, etc...)
On your iPad's nevigator type:
http://mac_local-lan_IP:8888/NameOfYourBook.epub
You can see local IP on: System Preferences/Lan or System Preferences/Sharing
iPad and Mac must be in the same lan/wifi network.

Final Cut Pro X 10.0.5 Create Storyline with Audio-Only Clips in order to add crossfade transition.

Final Cut Pro X version 10.0.5 – How to Create Storyline with audio-only clips. I'm following exercises in Diana Weynand's Pro Training Series, and this function is greyed out. Trying to create crossfade transition. New Compound Clip can be activated however.

Chapter 7. Page 269. Exploring Audio Transitions. Selecting two audio clips, then control-clicking the clips. The dropdown menu to Create Storyline or (Command G) is greyed out. The function no longer seems to be available. I've found other functions that no longer apply with the latest version in relation to the book, and I assume that this is another one. But I'm trying to follow the book the best I can. I know there's a workaround. I can simply select an edit point and add the cross dissolve (Command T), but I wonder if this accomplishes the requested exercise from the book.

Podcast Videocast/ Audio only not showing up in itunes podcast feed

Hi Everyone, I work on a site called Truthdig and we can't get our latest audio (mp3) only podcast to show up in our itunes podcast feed, latest podcast episodes have been video. is this what is causing the problem? Could it be something else? Advice? Wisdom? Please help.

FYI, your link to your podcast in iTunes is wrong, it should be
http://itunes.apple.com/WebObjects/MZStore.woa/wa/viewPodcast?id=299750047
Your feed validates, and I can't see anything wrong with it. Plainly the iTunes Store is failing to pick it up: it's been known for the Store not to be happy with feed URLs with a '?' in them, but presumably you haven't changed the feed URL since the original episode?
I can only suggest you approach Support:
http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/store/podcast/
(email link at the bottom of the page).
