How do I convert a quicktime podcast to mp3?

Hi,
I am trying to download podcasts in quicktime format and convert to mp3 but it seems that quicktime downloads only a link to a file on a server so that the conversion program (I have tried several - see email below from one vendor) is unable to open it. Any clues?
Thanks
Stephen
Hello,
Thanks for your e-mail.
I do apologize for any inconvenience this may cause you!
The MOV is not a realy tvideo file, the file size of it is only 1kb. The MOV
file in turn links to a mov file on a server that points to a quicktime
audio/video streaming file.
If you have any question, please contact [email protected] We will try to
help you as quickly as possible.
Best Regards,

Hello Aone support!
I just purchased your Easy Video to Audi Converter, Product ID (13185-10),
to convert a downloaded Quicktime podcast but it seems to go into a loop
when it tries to open the .mov file (attached). Any hints?
Thanks

Thanks so much, I sometimes forget the network is the computer! Your email prompted me to google "capture streaming video" which led me to:
http://emoney.al.ru/capture-streaming-video-and-audio/
So I downloaded HiDownload 6.x Pro to create a local file on my hard disk, then used a simple video to audio converter from http://www.aone-video.com/video2audio.htm to create an mp3.
So now I can listen to podcasts on my commute!
Thanks again.
Stephen

    How do i convert protected AAC files to MP3 files on a Mac?

    There has to be another way.
    No, there isn't.
    You can use a CD-RW instead of CD-R.
    It will not play on most CD-players, but should play fine on your computer.

    HI

    I have bee able to send all my music files over to the computer but some of them won't play as they .dcf files and this computer can't open them without the appropriate software which it does not have, (FYI - it plays fine on the phone and shows in the ovi music player libarary).  I have looked on google for software to convert the .dcf file to mp3 but as yet have not found one that will convert from this file type.

  • How do i convert a voice memo into MP3 with itunes 12?

    I need to convert a voice memo into MP3 with itunes 12.

    Today, I emailed myself an .m4a voice recording from an Android smartphone that had created that sound file minutes earlier.
    After opening that email message, I saved the .m4a sound file (a whopping 352 KB) to my Mac (iMac 21.5 inch running Yosemite).
    Clicking on the sound file's icon launched iTunes (version 12.0.1.26), which then did nothing no matter what I tried.
    However, when I selected the file on the desktop and navigated to the Finder/File/Open With dropdown window, a dialog box opened with alternative applications to use for opening the sound file. The available applications shown were VLC, QuickTime Player, Flip Player, and RealPlayer. I was pleased to find that VLC, QuickTime, Flip Player, and RealPlayer each opened and played the file straightforwardly and flawlessly.
    Apparently, Flip Player Pro (which I do not own) has a "save as" feature that might help you convert the file to the format you desire.

    I have 126 songs that are in a M4P. How can I convert them into a MP3. I take any help that you can give me.

    I meant to add... or subsctibe to iTunes match.
    You should be able to make a playlist that is less than 80 minutes long, burn that, rip it, then make another with the next group of tracks.

  • How can i convert a data file to mp3 so it can be played ?

    HOW CAN I CONVERT DATA FILE TO MP3

    You cant change a file on a CD/DVD.
    You need to import the contents to iTunes. You can choose the file format to save it as in iTunes Preferences.
    From the menu bar (with iTunes open)
    iTunes > Preferences > General - click the Import Settings button and change the choice to mp3 encoder.
    (Note - that instruction is for iTunes 9.1.1 - if it's changed in 10.x, I trust Klaus or one of the others will correct me).
    When you've set the import encoding, put your CD in and select import (button at bottom right in 9.1, may be in the menu bar for 10.x).

  • HT1399 my itunes library is stored as .aac files how can i convert them all together to mp3

    my itunes library is stored as .aac files how can i convert them all together to mp3

    Thanks for the quick response. I didn't think of that. I just tried several songs, and it DOES work as you say. Except iTunes downloaded the identical 128 kbps protected files again. These are 90's - "10,000 Maniacs" tracks.
    So does this mean Apple doesn't have my "10,000 Maniacs" high bit rate unprotected files available? Then why would anyone even buy any songs through the "iTunes" store, when Amazon sells only 256 kbps MPEG music files, at a little cheaper price than Apple?
    I'm missing something. The tracks I want to upgrade are available at Amazon in the higher bit rate format. Maybe iTunes is annoyed at me for using "Windows" on a PC and an "Android" phone?
    Thanks again.

  • How do I convert a Quicktime file into an MPG2 in Compressor?

    Every time I try to export my movie as an MPG2 in FCP, it locks up on me.
    So I exported the movie as a regular Quicktime file in FCP and now I'm wondering what all the steps are to make the file into an MPG2 so that I can burn it to a DVD in DVD Studio Pro.

    Just open Compressor and import the QT file.
    Click on the 'Settings' button and choose a preset that matches your source meda format and gives you the compression parameters you want to use.
    Click on the 'Destination' buttons for each and tell it where to send the file.
    Change the 'Output file name'(s) if you wish.
    Hit 'Submit'
    The Compressor Help menu will give you plenty of info on options available.

  • How do I convert my music to an mp3 file and then email it?

    Hi!
    Can someone tell me how to convert my music I loaded on itunes to an mp3 file, and then how to email this file,
    so someone can open it and hear it, e tc?
    thanks!

    Set the iTunes Import preference to MP3, select the track, and then choose the Convert menu command. Then attach it to the email using whatever method or command your email application uses.
    Note that it will be illegal to send this track to someone else unless they already have purchased a copy or it's a track that you composed and performed yourself.

  • How do I convert imported M4A's into MP3's?

    I am trying to move tracks from CD's onto my imac, to in turn throw them into an MP3 player for a friend. The tracks show up as M4A's.How do I go about converting them? I used to be able to convert the M4A's that were standard on itunes into MP3's, when that was the original setting for a mac, but can't seem to find the same option now!!

    Which version of iTunes and which operating system on the computer?  Your profile says you are running OSX 10.4 which is 10 years old and Apple had moved things around in iTunes with the various versions.
    iTunes: How to convert a song to a different file format - http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1550 - including information about different formats and discussion about compression.  Instructions are for iTunes11.
    In iTunes11: File > Create New Version
    In iTunes11 "Create..."  is in the File menu, not the Advanced menu.  Prior to iTunes11 use iTunes menu > Advanced
    Quality-wise you're better off re-ripping the CDs directly to mp3 rather than converting .m4a   Each format is less quality than the original and by converting you'll be losing quality in each of the two steps.

  • How can I convert an .mts file to mp3?

    I would like to export just an audio clip (2 minutes) to an mp3 file. I have deleted the video in the timeline but it still leaves a 91Mb file - far too big of course to usefully use. I have found the Zamzar site who will convert but of course the file is still too unwieldy. Is there a way please?
    I am using Prem El 9.
    Most grateful.

    Hi MissMoppett,
    Thanks for posting Adobe forums.
    You can also try to use a 3rd party software Format factory to convert .mts file .mp3.

  • How do I convert "PROTECTED" MPeg4 Files to MP3?

    Hello,
    I've reviewed the replies regarding converting Mpeg4 files to MP3. I downloaded 65 songs from the itunes store all of which are in the Mpeg4 format. After reading the responses to previous enquiries on this subject I followed this procedure:
    Go to Edit/Preferences/Importing tab/Import Using, select MP3 Encoder/OK
    This all went smmothly, but when selecting all the files I wanted to convert to MP3 a message displayed stating this could not be done due to the files being "Protected".
    Therefore, can anyone please tell me is there a way around this? I have a Digital MP3 IItronics player 256m. Or have apple protected these song files so they can only be used with ipods?
    Any feed-back at all would be very much appreciated.
    I need my music to jog in the gym and my CD player just isnt doing it for me anymore LOL
    Thank you,

    Hi Sara, welcome to Apple Discussions!
    By the book, permitted uses for purchases songs include playback in iTunes, playback on an iPod, and burning them to an audio CD.
    Of course, once you have an audio CD you can, well, treat it just like any other audio CD...

  • How do I convert qcp audio file (from cell phone) to mp3 file?

    I moved a recorded cell phone conversation from my phone to my computer. The file is 982498.qcp and iTunes, VLC, Quicktime, or Windows Media Player will not play it. iSoundFile is an application that can convert many different audio files to many other different audio file formats. It does not work with qcp files.
    How do I play this qcp file? Or, How do I convert this qcp file to mp3 or something playable?
    The phone manual says nothing about it (its an LG 8600).

    I've tried it 3 times. It says "Error while converting file." Thanks though, it looks like the perfect site for this function, just wish it worked.
