MPEG AUDIO and MP3

Is there a difference between MPEG audio in itune podcast and MP3? If i burn a cd for bible (scriptures) listen along non protected podcasts, which I stored in itune, do I need to change the podcast file to MP3 or is it in that format already, thus I just need to select the files and burn?

So mpeg and mp3 are not the same.
Yes, they are the same. iTunes designates mp3 as kind = 'MPEG audio file'.
So if you want to burn those on an MP3 CD, no conversion is needed.
If you convert AAC podcast audio files to mp3, they will not appear in the Podcast library, because converting kind of strips the podcast flag from them.
The converted file will then be seen as a 'normal' audio file and appear in the Music library.
Sort the Music library on 'Date Added' to quickly find them.
The native format of Audio CDs is 16 bit PCM. This format is uncompressed and MAC OS X and iTunes 'see' those files as AIFF.
AIFF is not equal to 16 bit PCM, but since both formats are uncompressed, the conversion can be done very fast.

Audio and MP3 on same CDR?

Is it possible in iTunes (or any other way) to make a CD that contains both regular Audio tracks AND MP3?
The reason I might want to do this is simply to fit more than 79:59 of music onto one CDR. Of course, I know I could just burn the whole thing as MP3, but still I would like to know.
Thank you.

The only way I know of, is to create a Mixed-Mode CD with Toast.
They should only be played on your computer.
From the Toast help:
"Mixed Mode CDs should not be played in a home or car stereo CD player and may damage your speakers."

Mega PC - CD and MP3 issue in HiFi

I have recently put together a Mega 651 with an LG 4520B Combo drive. In HiFi mode the drive is not recognized for either Audio CDs or MP3s, but all functions work great in PC mode.
I also have a significant sound level difference when I switched to the 6 channel output from the basic 2 channel. I am running an Altec Lansing 251 5.1 dolby set. The speaker amp in 2 channel is near minimum and the 6 channel is near max and a significant noise increase is present.
Any comments or suggestions would be welcome.

Hello,
yes interesting problem. I recently brought FX 5600 Ultra which required extra power cable for normal function. I messed with cables and when i finnally put my Mega PC in working mode all was fine until i tryed to play audio and mp3 discs.
It just refused to recognize any disc i put inside. I was very angry beacuse everything worked excellent before. Then i opened it again, and noticed that i reversed power cords for DVD-Drive and HDD.
You cant miss it, power cord which must be plugged into cd-dvd drive has small wire(3 or 4 wire together) which must be connected to motherboard. If you dont do that, than when you are in HiFi mode, drive cant be controlled by motherboard.
What connection between soundcard and speakers are you using?
Are you using onboard audio or you installed audio PCI card (like i did )?

My itunes isnt burning discs. some of the songs are AAC audio and others are MPEG??

my itunes isnt buring discs. some of the songs say they are AAC audio and others say MPEG audio. i dont know if that has anything to do with why its not burning but i dont know what else could be wrong

If you're burning an audio CD, it shouldn't matter. If you want to burn an MP3 CD, then all the tracks must be in MP3 format. iTunes will not convert them on the fly.
Regards.

MP3s on Network Storage appear as MPEG Audio Stream

I store all music on my network attached storage device and map it to my iMac via the AFP protocol. After upgrading to iTunes 10.5.1, all of these Mp3 files now appear as a type 'MPEG Audio Stream' to iTunes and can no longer sync with my iPod or be matched via iTunes Match.

Hi Jens,
I will suggest you to call the support center, cause there are some bugs related to the issue you are having.

I downloaded a TV/computer program both as an mp3 (audio) and mp4 (A&V). But the download did not appear in the download drop-down or in itunes. Does that mean I cannot burn that mp3 or mp4 to a CD or DVD?

I download a TV/computer program both as an mp3 (audio) and as a mp4 (A&V) I could play them directly using the URLs but neither appeared in the download dropdown or in i tunes. Does that mean that these files cannot be burned to a CD or DVD?

Open your QuickTime control panel (either via the Control panels, or by going "Edit > Preferences > QuickTime Preferences" in the Quicktime Player). In the Advanced tab, uncheck Enable Direct3D video acceleration:
... and click OK. Quit and restart the QuickTime Player prior to checking to see if the settings change has had any effect.

Update: By playing around with the settings in the Default Applications preference pane (a free download) I somehow got the files to open automatically in QuickTime Player (with Flip4Mac WMV 2.0.1 installed) and they now play (instead of showing white video as they had previously. Unfortunately, I don't recall what I changed.
Here's a sample file (apparently a beer commercial.):

Drag them from the iTunes window to the player on the desktop.

I recently restored my itunes library and many songs imported from CD are now marked mpeg audio stream. I can't play them. Why did this happen?

Lossless audio for MPEG-2 and MP4

When I export a video out to either MPEG-2 or MP4 (H.264) I am not able to select an option for lossless audio. Is there a way to add that option?
Thanks,
Mark

How do you plan to use the file? Which lossless codec do you wish to use? Is lossless audio appropriate for how the file will be distributed? Are you looking for best quality or is there a different, specific reason that you wish to use lossless encoding? (Also, what version of Adobe Media Encoder are you using?)
The list of available codecs for the MPEG formats can change depending on the Multiplexing setting you choose. However, make sure that the multiplexing setting you choose is appropriate to how you intend to distribute the file. For example, 3GPP multiplexing creates a file optimized for delivery to mobile devices. And note that the None multiplexing option creates separate audio and video files.
Adobe Media Encoder only offers multiplexed AAC encoding for MPEG4 and H.264 files. Although not lossless, the quality of AAC can be very high and is the general standard for the MPEG4 container format. Lossless encoding is not common for the MPEG4 container format, though it is legal per the MPEG4 Part 14 specifications. Again, you should match your export settings to the intended use of the video file.

Playing audio and video files in JSF (.wav,.mp3)

Hi,
I would like to know how to play audio and video files such as .wav,.mp3 in jsf .
could any one please post the code for playing the wav files.
Thanks,
Ram

There is no JSF component to do this, so you would have to write your own custom component to render an <object ...> element.
Or, you can use <f:verbatim> wrapped around an html <object ...> element.

No Audio and White screen for mpeg layer 3 Avi files

I reinstalled OSX on my macbook which previously played all avi files with no difficulties. Now I am having difficulties playing Avi files with quicktime PRO that use the Mpeg layer 3 codec. I have done the following with no success: downloaded flip 4 mac, divx, xvid, 3ivx, Xvid codecs, changed MIME settings, and deleted and reinstalled. The files still play using VLC but I would like to use quicktime pro. PLease help!

Depending on the specific version and sometimes the ordering in which they were installed, you may have created a conflict among the components here. While most current VidX components should be able to play MPEG Layer-3 audio, v5.1.1 is the only free VidX codec that is bi-directional. If that is not a problem, then I would recommend you remove (or "hide") all components in the main "Library > QuickTime" folder. Next I would determine if one (or more) of the AVI associated components can actually play the specific files mentioned on their own. You do this by installing a compenent to be tested, opening the player with one of the problem movies, and checking for correct audio and video playback. Log your results, close the player, remove the tested component, and move on to the next component to be tested. Once you deterime which component(s) may function correctly, I would then move on to determine which specific components are in conflict by repeating the tests but leaving the components installed after each test. In this case start with a component that is known to work and is the one you most desire to use (if more than one works). If the player stops working, then you have located a potential conflict. Set the offending component aside and continue testing until all components have been tested and are either installed or set aside. The last step is to simply evaluate component alternatives and configure you system for those files most often played. In my case the VidX v6 Pro components did not seem to get along with the 3ivX D4 v4.5 and/or Casio AVI and/or XVIDDelegate component combination.

How do I import AVI video with stereo audio (and keep it that way)?

Today I just discovered that all the AVI video with stereo audio I've ever imported into a Premiere Pro CS6 project has been mysteriously converted to mono. And I can't find any import setting anywhere that enable me to change this.
Here's the deal...
I've have an AVI file with stereo audio (the file is actually a stereo sound test that I downloaded to prove that I wasn't imagining things). On my hard drive, I right-click and view the properties:
Video
Length: 00:00:36
Frame width: 320
Frame height: 240
Frame rate: 25 frames/second
Audio
Bit rate: 128kbps
Channels: 2 (stereo)
Audio sample rate: 44 kHz
I click on it to play and listen with headphones--everything is playing in the correct part of the stereo spectrum. Then, I import it to Premiere, click the file name in the left content menu, and check the properties, suddenly they read:
Type: AVI Movie
File Size: 1.1 MB
Image Size: 320 x 240
Frame Rate: 25.00
Source Audio Format: 11025 Hz - 16 bit - Mono
Project Audio Format: 11025 Hz - 32 bit floating point - Mono
Total Duration: 00:00:36:15
Pixel Aspect Ratio: 1.0
Sure enough, I drag it into the sequence, listen to it, and it's indeed playing mono. Outside of Premiere, the original source file still reads and plays correctly with stereo sound.
When I import stereo WAVs and MP3s, it keeps the original stereo channels without me having to do anything special. I even just imported the same exact file as a MOV with stereo audio, and it showed up in Premiere as:
Source Audio Format: 44100 Hz - 16 bit - Stereo
Project Audio Format: 44100 Hz - 32 bit floating point - Stereo
What is going on here with AVIs? Am I doing something wrong? Are there settings I'm missing somewhere?
(And before anyone suggests I only use MOV in the future... that's not exactly the answer I'm looking for.)

Thank you for that info.
For video, the codec is MPEG-4 Video (XVID) and for audio it says MPEG Audio Layer 1/2/3 (mpga).
There are two issues with that file:
The first is the Xvid CODEC (not meant for editing), and then the MPEG Audio/MPGA. I would convert that file, to something that is more editable.
Good luck,
Hunt
