I want to make chaptered audiobooks!

I have a bunch of mp3s that I want to make into audiobooks with chapters. I know how to make the m4b's but is there any freeware that anyone knows of for adding chapters? If this is a bad place to ask this then where should I ask? It seems so simple but I can't find any info on anything but Chapter Master. Audioboks are SO much better for non-music audio and I just discovered the joy that is them and now I want all my stuff in that format but not without chapters. Thanks!

Hi,
as far as I know the only free tool is Apple's venerable ChapterTool. It's a command line utility that run on PCs too. I don't thins that it can be found somewhere, if you provide your contact info I can forward you my copy.

  • How can I make an audiobook purchased from another source show up in iTunes as an audiobook and not as music?

    How can I make an audiobook purchased from another source show up in iTunes as an audiobook and not as music?
    They chapters are mp3 files. Changing the genre to "audiobook" or "audiobooks" does help.
    I am sure this question will come up a lot, since the book in question is "Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows," purchased from Pottermore.com.

    The one thing I would add to the instructions above is that the "Media Kind" menu is on the "Option" pane in the "Get Info" Window. This procedure has allowed me not only to make imported audiobooks show up as audiobooks, but imported podcasts show up as podcasts.

  • I want to transfer an audiobook and a movie from my MacBook Pro to my iPhone 4S, and can't figure out how.  I went to "Help" and it said after connecting the two devices I should "Click Apps," but I can't find anything labeled "Apps" to click.  Help?!!

    If you have iTunes 11 on your Mac then you can enable the left-hand sidebar via option-command-S, that might make it easier to navigate.
    Connect the phone to your Mac and select it on that left-hand sidebar, and on the right-hand side of the screen there should be a series of tabs which you can use to select what to sync to the phone. If it's an audiobook then it should appear on the Books tab for selecting/syncing, and films will be on the Movies tab. When you've got the audiobook on your phone you should get an Audiobooks option in the Music app (you might need to tap the '...' tab at the bottom of the Music app to see it).

  • Want To Make A High Definition Audio DVD

    I have the Creative Suite Production Suite Premium, CS2.  I only realize now that it could be what I need for a project I have thought about for a long time.  I want to make DVDs with high quality PCM stereo sound, hopefully 24 bit/96 kHz rate.  However, I don't see that mentioned in the manual.  Classic Records and a few others have been making such discs and calling them 24/96 DAD.  Only basic video is necessary, like some photo stills or titles.  The DVD should be self starting, like a CD in a CD player, and have tracks or chapters, like a CD. I am not talking about DVD-A.  They work well, but are useless as 95% of DVD players will not play them.  However, 95% o DVD players will play 24/96 DVD like the Classic DAD.
    I have experimented with Cirlinca SOLO, but the results are terrible.  Most will not play in and DVD player, or play silently, or only work with 16/48.  I have used Adobe Audion CS3 to produce 24/96 sound files, and was able to use Minetonka Bronze to make wonderful DVD-A discs, but they are useless as almost no one can play them.   Can Encore CS2 or any Encore version make a standard DVD with this autiophile sound?

    Hello Mike,
    Neil Wilkes (or maybe Jeff Bellune) should be along shortly with the answers. I think that Neil is on Summer holiday, as he's not been around lately. Should only be a matter of time, until one, or the other, weighs in. When in town, Neil monitors this sub-forum pertty closely.
    Good luck, and I look forward to the answers too,
    Hunt
    PS FWIW, I use the SurCode DTS for some very nice Audio on a few of my DVD's. Still, that does involve a bit more $ and work, plus a selectable Menu for the DTS. I'll be interested what the experts advise.

  • No Frills - I want it in chapters on a DVD

    I want to spend as little time editing some footage as possible. I have approximately an hour long video of a karoake contest. I just want to burn it all to a bunch of DVDs for co-workers. However, I don't want those that went on last to have fast-forward through the whole thing. I just want them to be able to click on a contestant. It doesn't need to be clean or pretty. Just some simple navigation.
    I know enough to just follow some quick bullet points. You don't even need to explain anything. All the other movies & DVDs I've made were independent movies... I've never tried to make chapters of a single movie.
    Thanks.

    And make sure you don't have any clip selected, otherwise you'll get clip markers not chapter markers. Chapter markers are green and will be on the timeline where the playhead indicator is; clip markers are pink and will be on the clip instead of on the timeline.
    When you export your movie from FCE, you should UNcheck the option for "Make Movie Self-Contained". As long as FCE and iDVD are on the same computer, you don't need to make your movies self-contained. Exporting will go much faster that way.
    In iDVD > Preferences > Movies, make sure your preference is set to Automatically Create Chapter Marker Submenu before you import your movie.

  • How to make chapters in iMovie for iDVD?

    A long time ago, in iMovie HD, you could make chapters, and iDVD would honor them. Perhaps I still can in iMovie 11, but I can't find it. Please let me know if it is still possible, and how.
    Maybe they are not called chapters?
    John C

    Hi
    There are Chapters in iMovie'11
    Project window - You have to select a project to be edited - so that just this show up - top and right hand corner there are two small brown/red things (to the right of the three blue squares) that Mark or Chapter-mark
    Things reg. Chapters
    • Do not set any Chapter mark at - VERY beginning or End - as iDVD want's to do this by it self and get's confused
    • Do not set any Chapter mark in or within (2 sec from) any Transition !
    (This You can do a work around if You MUST - Export out movie as a Full Quality QuickTime .mov file then re-import this into iMovie and use this in a NEW Project - and now You can set Chapters in transitions without any problem)
    • When delivered to iDVD - DO NOT GO BACK to iMovie or FCE/P to make any adjustments - This set off the iDVD BUG resulting in that all Chapters points to Chapter one.
    If done Medicine is to trash movie in iDVD and clean Media Assets - then re-import - or start a new iDVD project
    AND
    I never use "Share to iDVD" as results get's bad to me - I do "Share to Media Browser" and as Large and in iDVD import from this.
    Best result I get is by using iMovie HD6 or FinalCut Express or Pro as they don't discard every second line as iMovie'08 or 09 or 11 does.

  • Greeting,  I want to reformat my external hard drive using Mac OS Extended (Journaled, Encrypted ) but before formatting it, I want to make sure that if I loose the hard drive or the hard drive get stolen, no one will be able to retrieve or recover the in

    Greeting,
    I want to reformat my external hard drive using Mac OS Extended (Journaled, Encrypted ) but before formatting it, I want to make sure that if I loose the hard drive or the hard drive get stolen, no one will be able to retrieve or recover the information on it so could you tell me what kind of encryption will be used or is there any way to recover the information?
    Thanks!

    I think FileVault is used to encryp internal hard drive but I wanna encrypt an external hard drive with Mac OS Extended Journaled Encrypted which is completely different!

  • I want to make a slideshow to view on my television with image's duration ranging from seconds to an hour or more and I want to use my iPhone or iPad mini to control the television through my Apple tv.  I've been unable to locate an app that will do this.

    I want to make a slideshow to view on my television with image's duration ranging from seconds to an hour or more and I want to use my iPhone or iPad mini to control the television through my Apple tv.
    I've been unable to locate an app that will do this.  The Photos app that comes with the phone or iPad has extremely limited duration controls.  PhotoStream seems to load everything from my phone or iPad not allowing me to just load up a set group of images.
    iPhoto for iPad is getting some terrible recent reviews.  I tried a couple other free apps but they don't use Airplay.
    I can do something like this with iPhoto and my MB Air, but it's kind of ugly to have the computer open in order to connect by Airplay to my Apple TV.  I've thought the iPad or iPhone would be a lower profile controller.
    Am I out of luck?

    Thanks for your help.  Since I'm uninterested in loading all my photos (the only option) into photostream, I won't be able to use the settings in ATV.  I guess I'm just stuck with using iPhoto on my MB Air.  Thanks again.

  • When I turn my computer on I receive a message that Apple wants to make a change to the hardware. I click on yes but nothing happens. I think this has something to do with Apple "push". I had a problem with this in iTunes when I tried to sync my iPod Touc

    When I turn my computer on (Windows 7) I receive a message that Apple wants to make a change to the hardware. I click on yes but nothing happens. The change has something to do with Apple "push". I recently had a problem with"push" on iTunes when I tried to sync my iPod Touch. I have latest software for iTunes and iPod. Can anyone tell me what to do to get this change to install?

    Since hardware cannot be changed with software, perhaps you would be so kind as to post the exact wording of the message?

  • Want to make my Ipad 4 into a second monitor

    I have an iPad 4 and a macbook pro and I want to connect them and make my ipad a second monitor. I know that I have to download an app but I want to make sure that I get the best/right one.
    I also saw that I can connect my ipad to my computer and control my computer from my ipad, so if anyone has experience with either of these things let me know!

    If you plan on using your iPad as a semi permanent second display when working at your Mac, if you plan to do this for long periods of time, make sure your iPad is plugged into power.
    These remote display apps tend to be more of a drain on the iPad's battery. Especially so if the remote display app uses Bluetooth instead of over WiFi.
    I like and use an app called Air Display.
    For using your iPad as a remote client to run your Mac remotely, there are a few decent apps for thiis, but it depend so what you really want to do.
    I wanted remote control of my Mac, locally, so I use a remote app called SplashTop remote.
    If you need remote location control of your Mac, also, there are other apps for that like LogMeIn and Team Viewer to name a few.

  • Hello and HELP! Over the years I have saved Invoices in my Documents. I have just tried to open them and all I am getting is " cannot be opened, Invoice**** is used by another user, do you want to make a copy?" That's on all my invoices.

    Can someone help please.
    I have just "lost" ( cannot open) all my saved Invoices in the Document folder.  All I am getting is " cannot open, Invoice ** is used bey another user, do you want to make copy? " That doesn't work either. I can't get anything on the time capsule either. How can I reset to an earlier time? Or what can I do?
    Thank you

    Did you recently reinstall the OS then copy all your files back over? Do a Get info on one of the documents and see if your current UserName is listed and has Read & Write permissions. If not select the Documents folder and check that for Read & Write permissions for your UserName. If it doesn't have R & W permissions Add it so it does.

  • I want to take remote access from an iTunes library off of my iPad ...when I hit edit from the remote app it pulls that library up ..if I delete it I just want to make sure that I'm not remotely wiping out the library, just access to it from my iPad ?

    Call the apple store you got it from and ask them. Sometimes in the past they've extended the 'no questions asked return' but only Apple can tell you for sure.

    In case you're not clear - iPad/iPhone storage, and iCloud storage, are totally separate. Buying more iCloud storage does not give you more storage space on your device. Your device has a fixed storage space for apps and data (e.g., 16GB - which is more like 12GB in real terms). iCloud storage just allows you to store more documents, mail, photos, etc, in the cloud.

  • I bought an iPad and want to make sure it's on the same apple account but my phone always come up with a different apple Id?

    I bought an iPad and want to make sure it's on the same apple account but my phone always come up with a different apple Id?

    Remember - if you bought any apps with another ID you cannot update them with a different ID.
    Try changing the ID in the App Store. Tap on Featured - swipe to the bottom of the screen - tap on the ID in the bottom left corner - and see if you can change it that way.
    If that doesn't work, sign out of your account altogether, restart the iPad and then sign in again.
    I guess I should ask - what ID is it coming up with and why is it coming up with that ID?
