Data rate of AAC file converted with iTunes 7.5.0.20

I have just noticed data rate of files converted to AAC with iTunes revision 7.5.0.20 deviate slightly from preset converting data rate in random manner. For example browser shows files with preset 192kBit/s data rate as 193 or 195kBit/s data rate, ones with 320kBit/s preset as 321, 322, 325kBit/s etc.
Is this a encoder bug or a music content dependent data rate adjustment?
Anyone a suggestion?
Thanks and best regards

  • How do you fix error message "data rate for this file is too high for DVD.  You must replace this file with one of a lower data rate".

    When trying to burn a DVD it will go through the encoding step and at 98% we see the message 'data rate for this file is too high for DVD.  You must replace this file with one of a lower data rate".  We need help to correct this so we can complete burning to DVD. 

    What did you export from Premiere?
    Did you use the MPEG2-DVD preset... and did you make any changes to the preset?

  • PGC has an error--data rate of this file is too high for DVD

    Getting one of those seemingly elusive PGC errors, though mine seems to be different from many of the ones listed here. Mine is telling me that the data rate of my file is too high for DVD. Only problem is, the file it's telling me has a datarate that is too high, is a slideshow which Encore has built using imported jpg files. I got the message, tried going into the slideshow and deleting the photo at the particular spot in the timeline where it said it had the problem, now getting the same message again with a different timecode spot in the same slideshow. The pictures are fairly big, but I assumed that Encore would automatically resize them to fit an NTSC DVD timeline. Do I need to open all the pictures in Photoshop and scale them down to 720x480 before I begin with the slideshows?

    With those efforts, regarding the RAM, it would *seem* that physical memory was not the problem.
    I'd look to how Windows is managing both the RAM addresses and also its Virtual Memory. To the former, I've seen programs/Processes that lock certain memory addresses upon launch (may be in startup), and do not report this to Windows accurately. Along those lines, you might want to use Task Manager to see what Processes are running from startup on your machine. I'll bet that you've got some that are not necessary, even if IT is doing a good job with the system setup. One can use MSCONFIG to do a trial of the system, without some of these.
    I also use a little program, EndItAll2 for eliminating all non-necessary programs and Processes, when doing editing. It's freeware, has a tiny footprint and usually does a perfect job of surveying your running programs and Processes, to shut them down. You can also modify its list, incase it wants to shut down something that IS necessary. I always Exit from my AV, spyware, popup-blocker, etc., as these progams will lie to EndItAll2 and say that they ARE necessary, as part of their job. Just close 'em out in the Tasktray, then run EndItAll2. Obviously, you'll need to do this with the approval of IT, but NLE machines need all available resources.
    Now, to the Virtual Memory. It is possible that Windows is not doing a good job of managing a dynamic Page File. Usually, it does, but many find there is greater stability with a fixed size at about 1.5 to 2.5x the physical RAM. I use the upper end with great results. A static Page File also makes defragmenting the HDD a bit easier too. I also have my Page File split over two physical HDD's. Some find locating to, say D:\ works best. For whatever reason, my XP-Pro SP3 demanded that I have it on C:\, or split between C:\ and D:\. Same OS on my 3 HDD laptop was cool having it on D:\ only. Go figure.
    These are just some thoughts.
    Glad that you got part of it solved and good luck with the next part. Since this seems to affect both PrPro and En, sounds system related.

    PS some IT techs love to add all sorts of monitors to the computers, especially if networkded. These are not usually bad, but are usually out of the mainstream, in that most users will never have most of these. You might want to ask about any monitors. Also, are you the only person with an NLE computer under the IT department? In major business offices, this often happens. Most IT folk do not have much, if any, experience with graphics, or NLE workstations. They spend their days servicing database, word processing and spreadsheet boxes.

  • Sony RX100 raw files converted with DNG converter not recognizable

    Since  installing Maverick 10.9.4 on the Mac, Sony RX100 raw files converted with DNG converter are no more recognizable.
    Somebody else the same problem?

    I know my DNG files themselves and the info they contain are fine. But they're not properly supported in Mavericks 10.9.4 and I don't plan on switching to Windows. A file that I converted to a DNG using Adobe software is now listed as an unrecognized file in OSX. No thumbnails, no iPhoto, no Aperture. Essentially, no support. And this is a problem. A quick search will show you people with various Sony cameras (A7, RX100 mkI and mkIII, at least) having the same problem.
    No matter where the blame falls, the simple fact is that if you shoot with various Sony cameras, use Adobe software to convert the file to DNG and happen to be an OSX user, you're files are no longer compatible with OSX or Apple's photo software. They will only open in Adobe software. You literally get a warning message from OSX saying, this is an unsupported file type when you try and open it.
    Like I said previously, I've had a managed iPhoto library for about 5 years now, numerous hours of tagging and organzing, and every DNG file converted from a Sony ARW RAW is currently unsupported. Original ARW files work just fine. It's nuts. Maybe it's Adobe's fault. Maybe it's Apple's fault. It really doesn't matter. If DNG is not a reliable standard format under certain edge cases (Sony ARW, DNG converter, OSX Mavericks), it's not a reliable standard format at all. I just hope that Apple or Adobe figures this out, so that I can get those photos back.
    In the mean time, certain users such as myself just can't rely on DNG. End of story.

  • The data rate of this file is too high encore

    I get a "the data rate of this file is too high encore"the data rate of this file is too high for DVD" message when I try to brun to disk.`
    I assume this means the bitrate I used when exporting from premiere? I only have one file to go on the DVD, what bitrate should I use?
    Thanks

    What did you export from Premiere?
    Did you use the MPEG2-DVD preset... and did you make any changes to the preset?

  • How do you burn videos taken with myIphone and stored on my computer to a DVD disc.  I purchased and tried using RealPlayer Plus 16 but got error message saying "unsopported media type"?  I alos tried using Real Players file converter with no success!

    How do you burn videos taken with my Iphone 4S and stored on my computer to a DVD disc.  I purchased and tried using RealPlayer Plus 16 but got error message saying "unsopported media type"?  I also tried using Real Players file converter with no success!  Thanks in advance for any help you can give!

    Probably the OP is no longer paying attention to this unless the OP is subscribed to this discussion.  While not really an iPhone question I guess using an iPhone to produce the movie which then needs taking to the next step makes this as good a starting place as any unless you happen to know enough about what to do to determine in which forum to post.  A suggestion in that direction would help.
    Anyway, Apple is backing off from supporting optical media.  It also depends upon what you mean by "DVD".  A DVD is just an optical disc which can support different file formats, but many people think it means a movie disc you can put in your TV.  Producing a movie disc requires special iDVD authoring software Apple used to sell but stopped several years ago.  I don't know if the old versions work under newer systems.  There's also the free Burn application which authors DVDs but takes a bit of learning and has nowhere near the features of iDVD.
    If the OP means simply burning the transferred movie files to a DVD for archiving in computer format you don't need special software for that; its built into the operating system File > New Burn folder etc.

  • Why does file date show 1970 on files transfered to iTunes app window?

    I am finding that files transfered to the apps section in iTunes shows last updated time different from the actual file date on the Mac.
    This is happening for both Numbers, Pages and PDF HD . I just did a file sync of a PDF I created and the date in the iTunes window shows 5/27/70 9:00 am (should have been 6/30/10 12:52 pm, the date that is on the original Mac file). Dates vary between 1970 and 1971. There wasn't even a Mac on those dates!!!
    Only one PDF has the correct date which is the iPad Manual (downloaded from Apple). All the files that have incorrect dates were PDF files created from my applications (Finale, InDesign, and DVDpedia). I have tested other downloaded PDFs from other sources and they all show 1970's dates on them in the iTunes App window.
    This really has no real impact other than being able to determine if the most recently created file is the one on the iPad. Now, I have to delete the current file in the iTunes window and add the file again from the Mac finder to be sure. Not at all a good solution.
    Is this an iTunes bug

    On older computers there was a PRAM battery that would last only so long then needed changing. If the battery went dead then when the computer started it would default to a the dates you have noted.
    iTunes will use the current system date to reflect the 'date added' information.

  • Correcting the date stamp with files converted with mpgstreamclip.

    I have converted some files using streamclip but it changes the date of the file to the date of the conversion. When I try importing them into imovie they are sorted incorrectly. The files were recorded in 07 but now have the date stamp of today. Can anyone help me solve this I am new to the mac and converting footage.

    It seems that I have solved my own problem while searching for answers.
    First I selected the clip with the incorrect date
    Next select File and select Adjust clip date and time.
    Hope this helps someone.

  • Can I convert to a higher bitrate AAC file for purchased iTunes music?

    I don't like that the 99 cent download I purchased can't be switched to a different audio filetype. Is there a way I can at least convert to a higher bitrate (128 kbps up to 320 kbps instead?)

    Unfortunately, no. The store sells downloads in protected AAC format @ 128 kbps, that is ALL they sell. Major record companies provide the files to the store & the record companies do not like to offer CD quality downloads.

  • I Need Help : File Managment with ITunes

    I have a library of music on an external drive. I ripped my CD's with Winamp in .wav format. I bought an IPod, and ultimately would like to convert my .wav files on my external drive into .aac, then upload to my ipod. I imported the file into my music library (iTunes reorginized all of my files, which was a problem) but they remain in .wav format. When I highlight the file and run "convert to .acc" from the "Advanced"drop down menu. This converts the file, buy duplicates an instance of the song, and it is very difficult to manage the files (determining which have been coverted ect)
    Any suggestions?

    Right click on any column title of the Library view and check "Kind" so you will see amoung other information the file kind (AAC, MP3, etc.).
    Then, left click on the column title "Kind" so your song will be ordered by kind. Now you have all you WAV and AAC songs separated. You can now delete the ones you want and remove the "Kind" column when no longer needed.

  • Convert with iTunes without rename or refolder

    Hello guys.
    I've been using iTunes for a long time and always had a "problem": when I do convert a file (bitrate, kind...) it is renamed to "number+sound name" (for example, "The Beatles - 1963 (1) - Please Please Me - 01 - I Saw Her Standing There" is renamed to "01 - I Saw Her Standing There") and the new converted archives go to folders and subfolders, for example:
    "-The Beatles (folder)
    -- Please Please Me (subfolder)
    --- 01 - I Saw Her Standing There (music/track)
    --- 02 - Misery (music/track)
    -- With the Beatles (folder)
    The doubts are:
    - How can I make ALL the converted files to go to the SAME folder, WITHOUT subfolders (do not differenciate band, albuns... everything in the same place);
    - How can I keep the name of the original file to the converted file?
    P.S.: I do use Windows 7 x64
    Since now, thanks a lot.

    Seems legit...

  • How to get ALL data from ipod to new computer with itunes??

    I have a ipod touch 2nd gen. I have cd's and purchased songs on my ipod. I did use itunes on my friends computer for a number of years but now I've got windows 7 computer and i have downloaded itunes but it won't let me transfer current data on my ipod to itunes without me loosing it all. I can only access itunes at friends now. Is there any way to get all my songs, playlists, apps (with data still on it) and photos without deleting it? I am looking for the cheapest way possible. I have tried downloading copy software but it all costs money. Thanks

  • File Structure with iTunes on an External Drive

    This is an image of the file structure on my external drive that holds all of my iTunes music:
    Is this correct, or should I have set it up differently? I am asking since it is differnet the the iTunes file structure on my MacBook Pro and some files will get uploaded to my external drive and others will go onto my MBP,s iTunes Music folder. All of my iPhone/iPad apps, Album Artwork, Mobile Applications. I have Book folders on both drives and the both have books on them.
    I should say that I had a major problem a few years ago, which has nothing to do with the above problem, with one of the iTunes updates which disconnected most of my songs from their respective files. I tried a solution a friend sugested, which really messed up the files and now many of the files have different info inside the song files, i.e., Otis Redding as the Artist on a Radiohead track. Or another groups cover for a Beatles album. I have a large library and have gone through slowly and fixed many things, but it is still quite messy and a huge bummer.. As a proud new owner of a Late 2011 MacBook Pro, I would love to be able to have a solution for this as well.
    TIA

    Well I just went through the same thing. I had a Lacie Porsche mobile drive at 80GB and changed to a Lacie Rugged 250. I keep all my music on external never local. Not a fan of loading my laptop. Anyways.... I was getting those same errors. I had copied all the itunes library contents from the Porsche drive to the Rugged drive. It took quite some time to transfer so you knew it was working. Then changed in the preferences of iTunes to save in the Rugged drive. If you trashed or deleted any files from the new drive and just put them in the trash without emptying you get that 501 trashes path. I found I had multiple duplicates of songs with the name of the song followed by a 1.mp4a. I think the library.xml file is the key to a clean transfer of music. I think this file is stored locally in your user folder and then it's used to direct to the alternate drive but from what I've read it's the file with all the playlist information and stuff on it. If you find it and move it over to the mobile drive then hold option and boot up itunes then tell it to look for that file on the new mobile I think you'll have no worries. I'm actually gonna try this myself.
    You don't want to know how it got it working. I physically opened every music file on the rugged drive to make sure the were all where they were supposed to be. All 70'gb's of music. Never doing that again.

  • Photoshop CS3 doesn't open dng-files converted with the adobe dng converter 7.4

    Hey Guys,
    i got a new camera - sony alpha a57 - which produces arw-files. for being able to work with these pictures on my photoshop cs3 I converted the arw-files to dng-files. now adobe bridge shows only the converted dng-signs, but I can't open them to work on them.
    does anyone have an idea what I could do to use these files?
    thanx,
    rita

    Hi,
    Sometimes when using the dng converter one needs to set the compatibility settings to the version of camera raw you want to open the files with.
