How do I convert an MP4 file to an aac file

i have converted some online videos to MP4 files. They are in my iTunes home movies folder but I can't hear them in my music play list. How do I make this happen? Do they need converting to aac files?

If they are still movies with video then they won't appear under music in iTunes because they are movies.
It is possible to use tools (e.g., MPEG Streamclip > save track ) to split audio and video tracks, leaving you with a file that is essentially .mp4 (audio) = aac = m4a  This should appear in iTunes under music.  You might find it works better if you change the file extension to ".m4a" instead of leaving it as .mp4 which iTunes may still interpret as a movie.

  • How to combine multiple purchased aac files into one aac file

    I recently purchased in iTunes an album consisting of 16 m4a files.  I ended up creating a playlist in iTunes for the songs.  I would like to create one m4a file which combines all and then play it in iTunes.  Is the copy protection preventing me from doing so?
    I know how to convert m4a files that I have converted to mp3 and combine them using Terminal with a cat command.  Then I import that combined file into iTunes.  All is well in this case.  I tried this with the 16 m4a files and I could not import the resultant mp3 file into iTunes.
    Any way to combine multiple purchased aac files?

    A simple way to accomplish the job, though not recommended is to print the 2 page file to a new PDF with multi-up (assuming you select vertical rather than horizontal locations) and adjust the paper in the Adobe PDF printer to be 8.5X22. At least you might give it a shot. Some variation, along with rotation possibly, might work.

  • How do I convert an .mp4 h.264 file into a simple Mpeg 2 file...

    I've had Quicktime for quitesometime now.
    I'been been through many QT versions but version 7 series, I think has problems.
    I've been dl'ing .mp4 files, with h.264 codecs.
    Quicktime plays them wonderfully but I'd like to put the movies on my media servers and stream them to my network dvd players(thin-clients).
    They can stream mpeg 1 and 2 great, as well as Xvid, Divx, and even VOBs'.
    I installed Quicktime 7 along time ago, and tried an export to many different data file formats. I would either get no video or no sound. I have just about every codec needed to do any conversion to Divx or Xvid.
    I also installed 3ivx.
    Can anyone tell me how something so simple can be so difficult? QuickTime, if it plays it, and shows that its capable of exporting to different formats, should be able to do the job.
    Beleive me, I know what your thinking. I've going as far as formatting, reinstalling Windows XP Pro, Updating, etc many times just to try to re-encode these .mp4 files into something big, yes, a large RAW file. Something that can be easily converted into anything else such as the basic old Mpg 1 or 2 file...
    Please, any help would be apprecaited!
    NeuroPsyche

    I tried ffmpeg but it just doesn't seem like it does a very good job at converting. I dont know why, but I think its because the .mp4 file has 6.1 sound or that new acc codec.
    I'm not sure about it, but when I do use ffmpeg, the sound doens't come out.
    Thanks!
    Dave.
    QuickTime doesn't have the capability to export to
    MPEG-1 or MPEG-2, at least not without third-party
    codecs (and I'm not aware of any for Windows for
    those formats, though there could be some somewhere).
    You might want to take a look at the open-source ffmpeg which can
    convert H.264 to MPEG-1 and MPEG-2 (as well as a
    number of other formats).
    Hope this helps.

  • How do you convert a .mp4 file to iPod Touch 4G format in iTunes 11? I know you could do it in iTunes 10...

    it I have a video that I made in .mp4 format and in my iTunes 11 library. In iTunes 10, you could convert it so it was compatible with mobile devices (in my case and iPod touch 4G). Is this still possible in iTunes 11, and if so, how do I do it? I tried just moving the unconverted video to my iPod, but that doesn't work.

    In iTunes go to File>Create New Version>Create iPhone or iPod Version.
