How to do audio only chat?

I see under the Video menu there is an "Audio Chat Enabled". I usually prefer to do audio only chats rather than video. How to start an audio only chat?
Thanks,
Tony

Well, I really want to use it with my family. My son has Skype and he has it always running. My wife uses iMessages only. I like how iMessages is integrated with iOS--the program doesn't have to be running. With Skype, you have to make sure it is in the background.
Neither of them (and not of my friends) use any of the other Chat programs.

How to convert audio only avi to wav?

How to convert audio only avi to wav?
Can I extract only the audio from an avi and insert in to a wav file?
Regards,
Achi

Sure.
You just need to program a Processor to turn off any video tracks, transcode to a WAV-acceptable audio encoding, and then use a DataSink to store the output of the processor as a WAV file.
Also, I bet the following sample program will do it without any modification...

IChat unable to audio only chat to AIM pc user

Hi. I have never been able to audio only chat to AIM pc (Vista) user. Every time it starts to connect, say "connecting" then fails and said user declined invitation. Which I know she has not, this also happens with another friend of mine (Win XP). Does anyone know a fix for this? Are there any special settings, mac or pc end? Thanks.

AIM on a PC is now at version 6.8
This version is actually still in beta as well.
the Support Pages at AIM only list that AIM 6.5 (the previous version) does not Video chat to iChat.
AIM 6.1 did but is no longer downloadable.
AIM 5.9 is still downloadable for XP users (it does not work in Vista)
Trillian Pro is an option as it has worked since AIM 5.9 (it's a PC App)
Also try Mebeam. This uses Flash in a Web Browser and can create Video Chat rooms for just you and your Buddy.

Audio only chats with AIM on PC?

Some older posts indicate it is not possible to initiate audio only chats between macs with iChat 2.1 and PCs running AIM. Is this still true with AIM version 5.9.6? Or should that work? I have tried, and can do a text chat just fine, but there is no audio (phone) icon on my buddy list for the buddy on the PC, so I can't initiate audio. Could it be firewall and port setting problems?
eMac G5 Mac OS X (10.3.9) iChat 2.1

skype is the best option from mac to PC, for video or audio ...

the mac user should download the beta 2.0 version for video chatting....
good luck

How to control audio-only QuickTime movies

I would like to be able to use the QuickTime controller to play an audio only QuickTime movie. I've read in this forum that hovering the mouse over a QuickTime movie is supposed to bring up the controller, but it isn't working for me. I've imported the movies (I have three on one slide) by both Insert > Choose … as well as dragging from the Finder. Afterwards, I get the speaker icon. When I play the show, the speaker icons don't appear.
Having the ability to be able to repeatedly play a .aif, .wav., mp3 sound would be nice as well, even if it is just start from the beginning and play.
Additionally, I'd also like to be able to play a movie by clicking on a movie, but I haven't found a way to do that. Perhaps it is not possible.
Keynote 4.0.2. Latest QuickTime (7.4).

there's no sound that will be played by that code. and there's no code about a netstream instance.

How to block audio only advertisements

This is something that I find to be infuriating, and I finally decided to see if there is a remedy. Sometimes an audio advertisement will start blaring while I am using my computer in the normal way. I say "audio" because there are no images, only sound. Is there a way to block such advertisements?

Hi Niku,
The way to stop the advertisement will varry depending on the applilcation your using when you hear the ads and how they are being delivered. But, the article below outlines some privacy features that are built into Safari that prevent most advertising.

How to create audio video chat in shockwave

I need to create a multi user chat appliation in shockwave
which will allow text chats, voice chats & video chats. Can
anyone guide me how to go about with this project? Is there any
xtras that will help me in getting this done.
Thanks & Regards
Kumaran

The absolute best way to do this is to build a simple web
service control in Flash and embed it into your director movie as a
cast member. At least this is how I do it. You can probably find
the Flash code online for next to nothing.
Maybe this tutorial will help

How to burn audio only from a Video Single

I have a video single as part of personal mix in itunes. When I try to burn the mix, all of the tracks burn except the video single. The dialog box says that burning is disabled for this track. I assume this is because the video content is imbedded in the file.
This is somewhat confusing as the track was noted as a single and separate video at the time of purchase. Is there any way to convert the content so that it can be included on an audio CD?
G4 Powerbook Mac OS X (10.3.9)

Due to DRM, you cannot burn purchased videos, except for backup on Data CD/DVD.
The only way to separate the audio is to use a capture application like Wiretap Pro or Audio Hijack (Pro). Latest versions can be found on versiontracker.com.
Hope this helps.

Audio/video chat works but audio only doesn't

Audio-video chats (both 2-way and one-way) work, but audio ONLY chats don't work (connection error). One machine is running 10.4.2 and the other 10.3.9. Doesn't seem like this would be a firewall or bandwidth issue if AV chats are working fine. Why would this happen?

I have the same issue, as well as the other iChat issues on other posts. When our offices (SF area & LA area, CA, US) were on 10.3.9, no problems with audio or video chats (we all have AIM screen names). Then the boss upgraded to 10.4.1. He could a/v chat with anyone inside our network and could video (with sound) with the other office, but not audio only. When he is at home he could a/v with anyone. We upgraded one more computer in our office to 10.4.1 and it was able to audio chat to other Tiger machines outside the office, but not Panther machines (can chat with anyone inside too). Now the boss and I have upgraded these same machines to 10.4.2 and the audio chat doesn't work outside the office anymore and we still can't chat with Panther machines outside the office.
Our office has Netopia Cayman 3546-002 ADSL Broadband Gateway on SBC Yahoo DSL at 4936 kbps down/493 kbps up. I called Netopia and had them help me open up the ports (I had them look at the apple tech document so they could help me get it right). It has NAT enabled and all the computers on this LAN have static addresses. Most of the computers access the LAN through the airport express (which just bounces the signal from the wired side). I think we have port forwarding or mapping set up for our two servers...the router looks at the address from the WAN side and routes it to the address on the LAN side. Firmware is up to date on the router.
I did not originally set up this network and have spent much time reading the user manual for the modem/router (it's a combo device) and trying suggestions here and from Level 2 at Apple. They say it is our network, but I don't know how to fix it.
I don't think this router has any UPnP capability, that I could find in the manual. Also what is SIP? I need a description of it or at least what that acronym stands for. Also, I've seen stuff about using the Terminal to change the telenet port. This routers telenet is set to 23, that should be fine for iChat, right? No conflict?
Please help this tortured soul!! Thanks.

Publish an audio-only stream (HLS)

Hi,
the documentation says this:
"To serve streams over a cellular network, one of the streams must be audio-only. For more information, see HTTP Live Streaming Overview.
To publish an audio-only stream, enter the following in the Flash Media Encoder Stream field:
livestream%i?adbe-live-event=liveevent&adbe-audio-stream-name=livestream1_audio_only&adbe-audio-stream-src=livestream1
If the encoder specifies individual query strings for each stream, use individual stream names instead of the variable %i:
livestream1?adbe-live-event=liveevent&adbe-audio-stream-name=livestream1_audio_only
livestream2?adbe-live-event=liveevent&adbe-audio-stream-name=livestream2_audio_only
To generate a set-level variant playlist when using an audio-only stream, specify the audio codec of the audio-only stream. Specify the audio and the video codec of the streams that contain audio and video. For more information about using the Set-level F4M/M3U8 File Generator, see Publish and play live multi-bitrate streams over HTTP.
Does this mean that using one FMLE encoder (with the installed AAC plugin) i can stream BOTH audio+video AND audio only stream via HLS to iOS clients?
If yes, how to connect to a+v stream and how to connect audio only stream in iOS ? (To be more precise - i would need two m3u8 files, how do i create them in the provided generator)
What about the need to provide multiple bitrates (for the audio), surely 64 isn't enough - multiple encoder machines or multiple encoder instances?

You are right. You don't need to provide multiple bitrate audio in the variant playlist. So while specifying on FMLE
livestream%i?adbe-live-event=liveevent&adbe-audio-stream-name=livestream1_audio_only&adbe-audio-stream-src=livestream1
set adbe-audio-stream-src to such a a+v stream that that audio bitrate of 64 kbps.
This will create 4 streams for you on FMS
livestream1, livestream2, livestream3, livestream1_audio_only
On encoders other than FMLE, where it is not supported to publish multiple streams with a single publish option, you may publish
1. livestream1?adbe-live-event=liveevent&adbe-audio-stream-name=livestream1_audio_only
2. livestream2?adbe-live-event=liveevent
3. livestream3?adbe-live-event=liveevent
This will create 4 streams for you on the FMS
livestream1, livestream2, livestream3, livestream1_audio_only
Yes, there is no point publishing audio only live stream corresponding to each a+v stream. Apple spec mandates only one audio only stream of 64kbps in variant playlist

How to get video and audio while chatting with your PC friends.

Just download a program called ivisit.
http://www.ivisit.com/
Everything else I tried sucked. Nothing worked. Yahoo, MSN, AOL IM... they all crapped out. But ivisit rocked right out of the gate, and you can get it free.
WIth the lite version you get only one connection and it lasts for an hour. After the hour you lose video but audio and chat still works. You have to be disconnected fro the other user for a half hour for the video feed to work again.
But if your itching to connect to your family with your new iSight and all the other big name programs are disapointing you, then one hour is plenty of time.
ivisit saved my christmas.

I agree. iVisit was a lifesaver. I was regreting getting my iSight until I had a successful connection. It was truly a Macintosh program - easy to setup, intuitive, not too much tech stuff to resort to figure out how things work. I was unhappy with resolution, though. You have to pay to get good resolution.

How can I extract only the audio as an aiff file?

Using a Sony DSC-N2 Cybershot Camera I recorded video that was saved as “MOV01606.MPG”. The video plays back with sound in Quicktime Pro and iTunes but how can I extract only the audio as an aiff file?

Use MPEG Streamclip (free) to convert your .mpg files to QuickTime formats.
QuickTime can't extract audio from muxed file formats.

Getting the following message on Final Cut Express "audio only capture selected video preview disabled" how can I get the video capture back?

I'm getting the following message on screen when attempting to capture video "audio only capture selected, video preview disabled." How can I get the view preview back?

FCE doesn't allow for audio only capture, it's in a twist somewhere.
Try trashing the FCE preferences.

How do I export audio only?

I have audio that needs cleaning up beyond what I know how to do and I want to send it off to a friend... the FCP Library is around 133GB so I'd like to just send the audio. How can I do that?
Using version 10.1.4
Thanks.

If you have Compressor, import a batch of your video files at a time into there and export as Audio only - something uncompressed like .aiff files.
It's VERY quick.
If you don't have Compressor, you can create a project in FCP X, drop a load of files onto it, and then Share > Master File (choose Audio only again) .aiff (or similar uncompressed).
You'll need to re-import these files into your projects after they are returned - there are various ways to do that.
