How do I convert any video-files to audio-files using Applescript?

Hi, when you are in finder you can right-click on a video to choose the option encode. From there you can choose an option: only audio.  I want to use this in applescripting to automate things but I searched for three months now and I can't seem to find out how. I searched the web, the applescript dictionary,... but without results.
I would be very happy if anyone can tell me how. Wether you can give me a link or you can directly say how, then please do so.
thanks in advance,
Kanti Kuijk

That service uses an Automator workflow.  You can use the Encode Media action in a workflow (which can also contain AppleScripts), or use an AppleScript to control the Quicktime Player application that the action uses.

  • How can I convert DVD- video into Apple's format so that it can be played and streamed from my Mac?

    How can I convert DVD- video into Apple's format so that I can play the content on my Mac and also stream it to my Apple TV? A few years ago, I transferred all of my home videos onto DVD but now would really like to put these onto my Mac and stream them through Apple TV to watch on the "big screen". Any advice would be most welcome!! Thanks

    Apple do not have their "own" format. You need to convert your DVDs to H.264 though.

    Hi Jack,
    What version of Acrobat are you using?
    You might need to go to File> Save As Other> Microsoft Word or choose 'Adobe PDF printer' from the File menu.
    Is save as option not functioning correctly? Do you get any specific error?
    Please let me know.

  • How can I convert Itunes video albums tracks to ipod tracks

    How can I convert Itunes video albums tracks to ipod tracks?

    3pg is an odd format... That or I just never seen it before. :P
    iTunes just ***** at converting videos. So far all videos I tried converting with iTunes have resulted in the same error you got.
    You're better-off using 3rd party apps, and then copying to iTunes, and then copying to the iPod.
    Unfortunately I don't know of any conversion programs for Windows.
    If you by chance have a mac, this program works great: http://www.apple.com/downloads/macosx/video/flv2itunes.html
    The mac version of Handbrake below works great, hopefully the Windows version does, too:

    When converting with handbrake, make sure to use the iPod preset for the out-put video.
    Hope this helps a little.

  • How can i link a video to a text file on iPad2

    how can i link a video to a text file on iPad2

    Alrite mate,cheers for replying....You are right,my mistake,,It is Frame and not Panel...therefore Frame 1 is home and Frame 2 is Add User. Frame 1 has a button called Add User,which if i press it should run and open up my Frame 2. I can run Frame 1 and 2 seprately and it works fine,but Now i want to link them. So When i run Frame 1 at first i only get Frame 1,but then when i press Add User button my program should start Frame 2.Resuting in 2 Frames opened. I dont know how to link them.

  • How to Convert iTunes Songs (Apple lossless audio file) to a MP3 for E-mail

    How to Convert iTunes Songs (Apple lossless audio file) to a MP3 for E-mail?
    My computer is Windows 7 and my Itunes software version is 1.0.2
    Many thanks in advance...

    iTunes 1.0.2 is +at least+ eight years old.
    The current version is 9.2, and it's free.
    If that was a typo, and you're using something more current:
    In the iTunes preferences, change the import settings to mp3.
    Then select the songs you wish to convert.
    From the "Advanced" menu, choose "Create mp3 version".
    When done, change the import settings back to Apple Lossless.
    That's it.
    BTW, this is the Logic Pro forum, which has absolutely nothing to do with iTunes.

    Select all the videos you want to convert, right-click and select "Convert Selection for iPod".

  • How do i export small clips from an audio file?

    How do I export only a small portion of an audio track to file WITHOUT temporarily deleting any part of the audio file?
    I have a big audio file. This audio file is a language lesson with many, many clips of english sentences and their target language translations. I basically want to cut up each little section that I don't already know how to translate, and use these audio clips as audio flash cards. There's 1 problem though, and that's my lack of Garage Band knowledge. I easily do this up to 80 times per audio lesson, so a simplified method would be preferred.... boy, I'm sure missing Logic right about now ;(

    To export only a part of a track you have two ways:
    The easiest way is the "Cycle Region": set the cycle region to the section of the clip that you want to export. The cycle region will show as a yellow bar at the top of the Timeline. You can drag the ends to adjust it. Silence all other tacks and use "Share > Export song to disk (or share to iTunes)". This will only export that section of he clip.
    The other way would be to duplicate the tarck and work on the copy of the original: Either trim the ends of the region by draging or cut out the section you want (⌘T). Silence the original and export the copy.

  • Can u convert a video into just audio?

    can u convert a video into just audio so i can play it on my nano

    Hi,
    thanks Stefan Maric and wew64.
    in the RTPSocketAdapter.java of the 'Implementing Custom Data Sources and Media Handlers' example I can take the groups of bytes previous to they where send for UDP.
    My Idea its take this bytes, make groups of 259 bytes and send them over the ISDN. In the Clients side recover this information and make groups with the original size (that I must send with the video information over my ISDN connection) and send them with UDP to the same host and receive with a regular JMF application.
    I am not sure if I will have problems with the synchronize of the video and audio doing this process, any idea??
    Thanks a lot

    How do I convert psd to jpg on an IMac using PS Elements?
    If you are editing a single psd file in the editor, simply choose 'save as' and specify the jpg format in the save dialog.
    If you want to batch convert many psd to jpg in the editor, use the 'File/process multiple files' command.
    If you are in the organizer, use the export function and select the jpg format in the export dialog.
