It is not possible to burn a high-quality audio CD in any version of iTunes.
iTunes burning is designed for quick, convenient burns directly from a playlist.
iTunes does not do the proper volume normalization or silence suppression that is required for a high-quality finished product.
If you are striving for quality, you can consider dedicated burning programs such as Toast, Nero, or Roxio.

How many hours of high quality music fits on a 16 gigabyte iPod

How many hours of high quality music fits on a 16 gigabyte iPod?

A "16Gb" iPod nano has enough room to store about 14.5Gb of music, assuming this to be the only media stored there. If by "high quality" you mean lossless, using Apple Lossless/ALAC format, that equates to around 30 hours of music (there will be some variations depending on the nature of the music and the degree to which ALAC compresses the audio data). AIFF files are larger, though of the same quality as ALAC - maximum in this case is approx. 20 hours.
For "iTunes Plus" quality (256kbps lossy compression) files will be between one-third and one-quarter the size of the same music in ALAC, so the total time goes up to around 90-120 hours. My 16Gb 7th gen nano is currently full to capacity using a mix of 256kbps AAC and 320kbps MP3 files - iTunes reports the total time as 4.9 days (117 hours).

How do I fix bad Quality audio recording in Captivate 4

I am having trouble recording decent quality audio in Captivate 4.
What is happening is after I do the screen and audio recording when I play it back the audio is choppy.
It also kind of sounds like the audio is quickly echoed and then clipped.
Finally this clipping and choppiness seems random when it happens.
I tested this by recording 5 minutes of the demonstration (which recorded with only 1 glitch in the beginning).
When I just recorded the second half when I played it back in Captivate it was very choppy again throughout the audio making the complete session unusable.
I am doing full motion recording of an application at 1024x768. I have tried all audio recording bitrates and have even gone up to 128kbps 16bit mp3.
I am using a high quality Audio-Technica AT2020 USB microphone.
I am running Windows Vista Service pack 2 fully updated with 4GB of memory on an Intel xeon W3503 2.4Ghz in 64 bit mode.
I have installed the latest patch update http://www.adobe.com/support/captivate/downloads.html 4.4.0.1 hoping that it waould solve the audio bugs to no avail.
Please let me know what else I may need to do to get Captivate 4 working like it should.
Are there any other settings or tests I should perform to get audio recording working.
Why would I even want to pay for Captivate 5 if Captivate 4 has worked so randomly for me.
Using 3rd party software like Audacity and even Adobe Soundbooth seems absurd when Captivate has audio recording built in.
For the time being I have gone back to Camtasia on another system because it actually seems to work but need to get Captivate working on my own system.

Try "Rapid Recorder" from store....it works well.

HT4078 How do I burn a high quality dvd from iDVD?

I made a slideshow in iDVD using hi-res photos, but when I burned my dvd, it was really low quality. How do I fix this?

Additionally, if you want high quality slide shows, you might want to consider using a third party app called Photo to Movie. I find their options (including HD quality) and zooms (Ken Burns effect) far superior to the lack of quality of the Ken Burns effect in iPhoto, iMovie, and iDVD. My workflow is that I create the slideshow in Photo to Movie, export it at the highest expert settings, then either import it into iMovie to incorporate it into a project or simply add it to iDVD as a movie along with the others.

HOW TO MAKE A HIGH DEFINITION AUDIO DVD WITH PREMIERE CS2

I have been working with my CS2 Premiere to create some auto play high definition, audio-only DVDs that are autoplay. To clear the air, yes I know that CS4 will permit 24bit-96 kHz. For the time being 16 bit-48 kHz, is still better (marginally) than CD, but it permits greater playing times. Yes, I know that the autoplay without menues "feature" is bogus, and was never corrected by Adobe. So much for their interest in their customers.
I found a simple workaround for the autoplay/no menues feature. Just make a DVD-RW with menues. Then use DVD-DeCryper/Shrink/Nero - whatever to make an autoplay DVD onto a permanent disc. It works well.
Here is my latest crazy problem: How to get really long playing time. I know I can make high qualitye DVD-A's up to 3 hours using Minatonka Bronze. Unfortunately, DVD-A discs are worthless as they cannot play in 90% of DVD players, but they prove the time point.
I have three 48 kHz files that I created in Adobe Audion. The were 1.599, 0.911, and 0.974 GBs in size. That added up to 3.480. The playing time is about 2:30 Hours; quite a bit less than 3 hours.   I tried burning a DVD with these, audio-files-only. I checked lowest quality video, used no video, and got an Export To DVD error that I had "insufficient" space on the 4.7 GB disc! So, I used the two latter files, which added to only 1.884 GB. Premiere did not baulk, and it successfully burned a DVD that played. Then I added the 1.599 GB file, and, once again, it produced an error. This was clearly not going to work.
At this point, I realized that Audition had done what it liked to do: It had saved the 16 bit-48 kHz files as 32 bit-48 kHz! So, I went back to Audition and used EDIT to change the files to genuine 16 bit-48 kHz files. When I opened them in Premiere, Premiere reported 16 bit-48 kHz files. Their sizes were now, 0.799, 0.456, and 0.487 GB. Please note that this totals 1.742 GB. This is less than the 1.884 GB I had successfully used before.   Once again, I was getting the "inssufficient" space error. This is nuts. The disc can hold 4.3+ GB, but won't fit 1.742.GB.
So, anybody got some ideas?
Mike

Jim,
I cannot believe you are wasting my time and the space of this forum with your irrelevances. It would have been better had you just tried to answer my question, which is the purpose of these forums. Why engage in useless chatter?
I said nothing about any great sonic difference betweein 16/48 and 16/44 digital audio; I said "marginally."   In English that means very little difference. I'm not going to prove to you with distortion and frequency response plots that there is some minor difference, it is a fact of life. You, in fact, just stated a difference. The difference between a 24 kHz cutoff and a 22 kHz custoff is a difference which you give, to back up your absurd statement that there is no difference. This can actually translate to a minor, difference in THD at higher audio frequencies, but who cares?   Well, you apparently care, because your beligerant non-reply to my question was that "fewer...would notice ." In English that means that some would notice.
What my question had to do with MP3 junk, or multichannel sound, I don't know. Why should I do, as you suggest, and make DVD-A's when one needs only stereo? This is a Premier forum, not a DVD-A forum. Why not bother DVD-A junkies on Minatonka fourms? DVDs can handle stereo PCM very nicely. Classic Audio has marketed their 24/96 DADs for many years and so have a few other companies.   They have been well received by some "golden eared" types. I hope they don't upset you. There is a good possibility that DVD may only be around as a "legacy" feature on BLU RAY in future years. DVD-A was DOA years ago and SACD may go just away; DVD-A is almost that. So, PCM stereo sound DVD's are a good bet that the resultant disc will be playable on many people's players as well as future players. The longer playing time that may be available would make listening to concerts easier, rather than breaking them up into segments.
If you want to argue my motives, or tastes, I suggest you go to another forum and discuss you theories. If you actually have something productive to say about the problem I pointed out, that would be welcome.

How to keep a High Quality Movie Resolution using IDVD ?

Hi,
When I connect my camcorder to the TV directly, I can see very sharp resolution video (in normal TV screen format).
If I download the same recording to Apple in widescreen format, add music to it using iMovie and then burn it using iDVD, I get very poor resolution when I watch this movie on the same TV.
Would you know how can I do to keep my sharp resolution after burning my movie using IDVD?
Kind Regards.

Hi
This is due to iMovie and really iMovie'08 or 09
They are aimed for quick editing to web-publishing - not high quality DVD.
iMovie 1 to HD 6 and FinalCut Express or Pro are the tool of choise for DVD or
even Blue-Ray (needs Roxio Toast™ and ev. a Blue-Ray burner/disks)
iMovie'08 and 09 discard every second line = less quality very close to VHS.
I never managed to get full quality from them to feed iDVD.
• Pro Quality encoding in iDVD is very sufficient to my needs and
burning out with Roxio Toast™ as Blue-Ray to standard DVD (max 20-30 minutes)
gives an even better result BUT ONLY PLAYBACK on Blue-Ray player or PlayStation 3.

How to Create a High Quality Band/Multitrack Recording Play-Through Video?

I am trying to work out the best way to make a playthrough video a little like these - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1QUUajNPb5g - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DAGqCAsk3gQ&feature=related .
It would be for doing a multitrack-recording playthrough video of my drummer, played to the backing track of one of our songs I recorded in cubase 6
I have Adobe Premiere CS6, Cubase 6, the aproprate mics, a soundcard etc, but I don't have a video camera, but I'd probably just get a £300-£500 one unless you guys think that's not right?
So I'm wondering how you might go about this?
Cheers!!!

How do I create high quality stills from iMovie?

I know how to use the Create Still feature in order to create a photo in iMovie, however the resulting jpeg appeared too grainy when imported into Photoshop. It seems that the jpeg that iMove creates is too small (in terms of kb) to be of any use. Is there a way for iMovie to create larger, higher quality still photos? Or is there another way to go about this? Thanks

No.
video is highly compressed, much higher than any still or graphics.
e.g. a 'FullHD'-cam fits 108.000 'stills' (=1h video) of 1920x1080 pixel into 4-8GB ... make the math your own

How to Export a HIGH QUALITY .avi file. help PLEASE

Hi, I am trying to export my movie to an avi file, so I can upload it on youtube. I've done some searches online, but have not found any answers that work. I keep getting very low image quality, no matter what settings I choose. I've gone into quicktime preferences and saved the file in "high quality" and that doesn't work. How can I export a movie file with the same image quality as the original project? I'm using Explicit to split the file into two parts, but it can only handle .avi files. Please help!

Ah, I just converted it with the wrong compressor. I used DV/DVCPRO-NTSC prog. scan and it looks beautiful.

How can I get high quality video that will play on my Touch as well as ATV?

Within iMovie there are output settings for the iPod and for the Apple TV. Now I fully understand the video resolution restrictions of the iPod Touch, so I am happy using a widescreen resolution of 640x360 ("Medium" output setting). What I am not happy about is the quality of the Medium setting, which iMovie states is 1.7Mbps. The results are rather blocky to say the least. In comparison, I can output the same movie as "Large", with a res of 960x540 and a bitrate of 4Mbps, and it comes out a little soft, but the blocky artefacts have all but vanished. Unfortunately, of course, the iPod Touch won't play a video with this resolution. I have tried "Export using Quicktime" and can get good quality results. However, the video (although H.264 and 640x360) ends up NOT being compatible with my iPod Touch.
Basically, how can I output a video of 640x360 that is of the quality I want, and that also plays on my iPod Touch? If the "Export using Quicktime" can be used to achieve this, what are the settings to use?
Thanks.

But why shouldn't I be able to have one video to suit both. I am happy with the resolution of 640x360, even on my ATV.
You can. Unfortunately, your desire for both a data rate greater than 1.7 Mbps (H.264/AAC compression) and the ability to play them on an iPhone/Touch/iPod is mutually exclusive at this time. Thus, you will either have to make different files targeted for different data rates for maximum quality on each device or you make a single file using the maximum allowed data rate for playback on the "slower" device and accept the quality it produces on whichever device you are currently using. If all you want is a higher data rate, use the MPEG4 Simple Profile which allows data rates up to 2.5 Mbps. Just remember that the H.264 codec is about 2.0-2.5 times as efficient and is roughly equivalent to an MPEG-4 Simple Profile file with video encoded at 3.00-3.75 Mbps.

How to burn a podcast to Audio CD?

OK, so it's "old-fashioned" but I need to burn a playlist of podcasts to an audio CD.
No, not to an ipod - to a CD.
When I try, it isn't compatible. I suppose it's because the podcast is coming from a URL. The formats are not synching.
So bottom line question is: how do I reformat a Podcast so that it will burn to an audio CD?
Thanks for the help.

Sunzanna,
My problem was similar, I think; My podcast playlist would "copy" to an Audio CD but the file size was typically 8 or 9 kb-no data there. After many failed workarounds changing formats, etc., I sucessfully recorded my tracks by choosing the "Data CD or DVD" radio button in the "Burn Settings" window which pops up when you select the "Burn" button. There is a warning that the subsequent product may not play in all players-They play fine in my car CD player, however. Good luck.

How to have a high quality DVD?

Hello to all,
Which quality of QT movie format [422 HQ or H.264] is to be chosen for burning a DVD and what are the advantages or disadvantages of one over the other?

if you want highest quality, 'trick' #1 is:
avoid in-betweens
• your camcorder compresses
• your editor probably compresses/converts
• the disk-maker app converts/compress
all those conversion processes are lossy, compression artefacts get 'multiplied'.
the good looking source file could look in step #2 horrible.
lucky you, most consumer apps on Mac allow a direct process; my preferred tool, iDVD
https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-3711
accepts 'any' (umm, well, most…) files, Quicktime supports.
So, aside setting your camera to 'max quality' (= don't squeeze 4h onto a 2GB SDcard....) and creating max quality in recording (light! don't make your camera use amplification = 'noise' in picture = no quality in final product), I would export from within FCPX with proRes(LT), I assume, this is your Project's settings?
a) fast export (=no conversion takes place)
b) no additional conversion
c) iDVD (Toast, Burn...) will 'swallow' that format and converts finally
d) such an export is huuuuge (1h=20-40GBs)! don't worry, the disk-burner cares only for length (min:sec). and disk-space is no issue in video-making, isn't it
using a 'manual'/customized method means, YOU have to keep in mind all that background-info (tech bla bla follows:) such as maximum bitrate of a standard videoDVD, udf formatting, supported audio-codecs, resolution, anamorphic flag, ... bla bla bla
tools as iDVD (Toast...) will care automatically.
final hint:
iDVD sets the bit-rate (= most determing 'quality'-factor) to max, if the content of the whole disk, incl. menus, is less than 60min ....
final word:
is a commercial DVD done with a 40$ iDVD.app? No, for sure.
These are done by professionals with professional tools.
Using professional sources.-
compression is more an 'art' than just technique.

How to rip lossless high res audio from VIDEO_TS folder (DVD)?

Freeware would be nice but I'll pay if I have to.
I want to rip the audio from a DVD Video disc (not a DVD Audio disc - already got that covered).
Let me be clear here so as to avoid all the lossy suggestions.
I need to rip the full resolution audio to wav. If the DVD contains 24bit 96k audio, that's what I need in wav files with NO LOSS OF ANY KIND. 16/44.1 would not be OK. Don't even think of mentioning mp3.
I've seen "DVD Audio Extractor" mentioned but can't find an OSX version.
Thanks

I'm giving you the benefit of the doubt here in that I used to play in a band where occasionally the sound person would record the tracks and give us a CD afterward. Although we owned the music we still had to rip it from a CD to get it into another format.
Klaus1 is correct if what you want to do is with a DRM protected DVD. I will go out on a limb since strictly according to the Terms of Use the "no discussing" clause applies only to discussions on working around DRM protection (but frankly often any mention of any kind of DVD gets the hosts agitated and may well get this whole topic removed; still, if they don't want any talk of DVDs period then they should say so in the TOU). MPEGstreamclip might be able to do what you need. Again, that will only work with non DRM protected DVD (your family home videos).
By the way, just about any DVD audio is already in a compressed format, be it AC3 or other audio codec, so there is already loss in quality from a raw format such as AIFF or WAV. In analogy, even the highest bitrate MP3 or AAC file is not going to be identical to the original CD.

How can i get high quality slideshowpix on my DvD?

Hy everyone,
I tried to make my own video montage using Slideshow of iPhoto, applied Kern Burn effects and Transitions, everything was absolutely fine until imported my project to iDvD and burn my Project on DvD, the quality wasn't as excellent as i expected it to be, i set everything in Encoding as Best Quality, still nothing's happened.
Is there anything that can be done to improve the quality of my DvDs?
Thanks in advance,
any suggestions is much appreciated.

ML:
Any slideshow created in iPhoto and ported (shared) to iDVD will not have as sharp an image quality as those created in iDVD from the stills. That's irrespective of whether you use the KB effect or not. The slideshow gets converted to a Quicktime movie and then in iDVD it's encoded for a second manipulation of the image file. Created in iDVD the stills go thru only one process, the encoding by iDVD.
That being said, you might give a look at Photo to Movie. It's reported to produce better results with the KB effects and general conversion to Quicktime. It also can add text and music. Might be worth playing with the demo version.
Do you Twango?
TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto database file and keep it current. If problems crop up where iPhoto suddenly can't see any photos or thinks there are no photos in the library, replacing the working Library6.iPhoto file with the backup will often get the library back. By keeping it current I mean backup after each import and/or any serious editing or work on books, slideshows, calendars, cards, etc. That insures that if a problem pops up and you do need to replace the database file, you'll retain all those efforts. It doesn't take long to make the backup and it's good insurance.
