MPEG Layer 3 audio files have changed into MP3^^ files,What is ^^

MPEG Layer 3 audio files have changed into MP3^^ files,What is ^^ and why wont the music files play anymore??

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.
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.

No Audio and White screen for mpeg layer 3 Avi files

Editing MPEG-2 files with embedded MPEG Layer 2 audio in FCP?

I need to edit .mpg files, MPEG2 with MPEG Layer 2 audio embedded. I can read the files in Quicktime no problem, but if I import them in FCP, there is no audio in the timeline, only video. If I try to build a DVD, DVD Studio does not recognize the file type. If I try to export it from QT in any other format, there is no audio in the new file.
The MPEG files have been created by a Canopus encoder card inside a Windows based broadcast video server at work. I would have thought that MPEG files were somewhat standard... I guess not!
Is there a way to convert these files so that I may use them in FCP or DVD studio Pro? Or configure the apps... or have a special codec?

Download the freeware program MPEG Streamclip. It can demux and convert the files to match your FCP Sequence settings (in most cases).

MPEG-1 Layer 3 Audio Files

Will MPEG-1 Layer 3 audio files work on the iPod Touch 4g?
They work okay in iTunes on my computer.
Thanks.

Yes. I noticed that in the Advanced drop down menu. In a test conversion from MPEG-1 Layer 3 to AAC, the file ballooned from 4.8 to 6.5 MB. I'm presuming AAC would be the best choice.
I have hundreds of MPEG-1 Layer 3 tunes. I see that I can select multiple files for conversion, but that is still tedious.

Trying to get an MPEG Layer 3 Audio book onto iTunes

I purchased an audio book that downloaded in an MPEG Layer 3 Audio format. I have two questions...
#1 - I've researched importing MPEG 3 Audio music into iTunes and it typically tells you to just do a drag-n-drop into iTunes. Do they mean drop it into the folder that holds the iTunes music files or drop it right into iTunes as it appears on you screen when it is open?
#2 - The book downloaded as many smaller files all making up the single book. I don't want to load each individual one into iTunes do I? Or do I load all of them individually and then make a play list that will play them consecutively so I can listen to the book?
Thanks in advance!

Here's what worked for me when iTunes would let me just drag an drop mp3 files into a new playlist on my PC.
-First I made sure iTunes my default audio player.
-In the folder containing them I selected all of the mp3 files I wanted to add to the new playlist.
-I right-clicked the selected files and clicked "Open."
That's all I needed to get the mp3 files into the "Songs" display of "My Music" on iTunes. The rest was straightforward. Here's hoping this will work for you!

MPEG vs ACC audio files

I've been listening to my MPEG and ACC audio files on my iPOD video for a few months now and I just noticed that my iPOD no longer has any of the MPEG audio files that I have in my iTunes library. Please help!

If you have mp3 versions (or some other version) of them sure. If you're asking if the AAC file of a MP3 counterpart is necessary, then the answer is no. They are two seperate and distinct files. Just different audio codecs.
It is completely up to you if you want to have AAC or MP3 files or whatever else. Just make sure you don't delete the only copy of your song is what I'm getting at.

I'm unable to import cover art to my MPEG-4 movies that I've imported into iTunes. What gives? Where is the artwork tab?

I'm unable to import cover art to my MPEG-4 movies that I've imported into iTunes. What gives? Where is the artwork tab? I'm running iTunes 11 on my Windows 7 laptop.

I thank you for the response. Apple does some assinine things sometimes and this is one of them. Ask the planet the difference between a movie and a home video and with the exception of Apple, you'd get 100% consenus on the what difference is. A home video is something that I shoot, like my kids birthday party. A movie is something I urchased either via download or a DVD that I ripped. Unbelievable! The fact that Apple has chosen not to distinguish based upon which folder I tell it is Movies and which folder is Home Videos is really hard to fathom - sounds like something Windows would do. I find it funny that in my iTunes movies sub-section of the movies section, the movie icons have a cloud icon in upper right corner to distinguish it as bought from Apple iTunes versus no cloud icon for movies that I have ripped - so the distintion was already made and clearly visible. Now - everything just defaults to "home videos" if I try to import a new ripped DVD - why even bother to have this distinction on the iTunes bar? WOW!
As for your direction, I do not understand what you are telling me - what Media Kind and what Options tab are you referring to? I see no Options tab in iTunes. Right licking on the movie icon does not yield media kind or options as well. Gping to the source file does not yield these options either.
Thanks again for your help.

Hi stirling r,
I have always been very weary of fake emails and can easily spot the ones that get through the spam filters but for the first time in my 25 plus years memory of using email, I though a fake email was genuine.
Ok, granted the email was supposedly from Apple so there's an implied level of trust there and I had updated my Apple ID details hours before, but it was only after doing a double take at the url link in the email I realised it was fake. It was pointing to an IP address (http://104.145.233.95/..etc) and not the usual https://www.apple.com/..etc.
I just wandered how may Apple users, especially new ones would have unwittingly compromised their Apple ID details by this scam. I would love to see Apple doing more to make its users aware of scams directed at them.
Hope this helps someone!

MPEG Layer-3 Audio not playing in IE - Plugin problem?

Please can someone advise me how to rectify the following issue. I updated Quicktime last night to 7.6.2. Since then I have been unable to play quicktime audio files in IE, where previously (yesterday), this would work.
Audio links for MPEG layer-3 files now do not work, and instead I get a blue Q with a question mark, and a red cross where the quicktime logo should be. The page informs me that audio requires quicktime 7, though I aleady have this installed and have the audio files associated with Quicktime.
Also, when I go into the MIME settings within Quicktime preferences (Vista Platform), it does not bring up the expected window and directs me to Windows file association.
Is anyone able to help. I have made no changes to my system other than updating Quicktime.
Thanks in advance.

I apologise if there is an obvious solution to this. I am no expert when it comes to this sort of thing.
If anyone has any ideas I would be grateful. It is quite frustrating when you do the recommended (i.e update) and things stop working.
Please help.

When ERP change into Unicode base, what should I do?

Hello,
I'm using R/3 4.6C and BI 7.0.
I plan to upgrade ERP and change UNICODE base.
If ERP was changed to Unicode base, what would I have to do for BI, what would happen without doing anything?
Best regards,
Koji
Edited by: Koji Nagai on Sep 11, 2008 10:40 PM

Hi Koji,
Both ERP and BI 7.0 systems should be in UNICODE system
then only data loading from ERP to BI 7.0 will be without data problems.
if systems are of different UNICODE system, data will not load properly into BW / BI system.

Imported mpeg layer 3 audio

I hope i have the right section, my first post.
I have downloaded an albumn and i cannot get itunes to up load it.
I have tried dragging and dropping the folder moved but still know music.
I also tried changing the encoder in the import in preferences still know luck.
Please help.
I got the albumn fron bit torrents would that make a difference??

I had this exact problem! See i got this CD from a friend of mine full of mp3's. One day they play fine and then the next totally weird.
Just discovered the problem a few hours ago... another hour of grueling work and failed attempts and voila!
BUT FIRST! check if your mp3's are openable (no.. not a word) by Quicktime.
(Right click --> open with --> Quicktime/select program --> Quicktime)
So what I did is that I installed "mp3tag": http://www.mp3tag.de/en/download.html
(if you see it in a weird language just click "english" in the top right corner)
Now open up mp3tag and add all of the mp3 files that did not work. Then you select them all (i have windows... ctrl + shift or however you select multiple songs in itunes on a mac).
Finally right click (still holding shift or whatever you use) on the column thats says tag and select remove tags.
For me the tags was changed to IDv3.24 or something like that. Open itunes and enjoy... hopefully?
Anyways hope this works for you
(tell me if it does!)
P.S: I noticed that the mp3's that i converted to AAC (before all of this misfortune happened) using itunes changed tags and still played fine. If you want to convert and possibly eliminate further chance of this happening again:
select mp3s --> Advanced --> create AAC version
BTW a new AAC version is made but the original MP3 file is still there too

From MPEG layer-3 to MPEG-4??

Hi,
I have exported a QT slide show from iPhoto 4 and resulted with a MPEG layer-3 Audio. In the past, I'm not sure how I did it, but I do have another slideshow that was an MPEG-4 Video with a ".mov" extension, and this later one, when posted on .Mac account webpage, does automatically start playing as it download. But the MPEG layer -3 does not. So with QT 6.5.3, I tried to export the file using the expert settings, and did 3 separate attempts. 1-Movie to Hinted movie, 2-Movie to MPG-4, movie to Quicktime Movie. And all resulted in a MPEG Layer-3???
Not sure what's happening.
Now the other thing, when I use Movie to MPEG-4, the extension changes to .mp4, but the movie that is working properly on my webpage that is an MPEG-4, does have ".mov" extension!
What should I do ?
Michel

Colin,
it makes sense that it is compressed with an mp3 song attached to it. iPhoto4 export slideshow to QT in a manner that you described. Uou can see that all photos are exported one after the next, and at the end you can see the iP, is adding the audio, which is the Mp3 songs. This allow the file to remains small. I look at the FPS and Movie FPS is .57, Playing FPS is .67, instead of the 30FPS.
When you export from a created slideshow in iP5 or 6, the QT file becomes much bigger, because I think it creates 30fps for every picture (essentially 60 frames for one pic displayed for 2 seconds) because of the Ken Burns effect that requires this.
If I understand it right, iP4, exports the first pic as one frame, and if it is displayed for 2,3, 4 or 6 sec, it repeats the 1st (original) frame 59 or so times, essentially not having to copy the same frame more than once, otherwise it would make the file way too big. This compression used by QT from ip4, keeps the file size fairly small. In fact the biggest items in the QT file, is the song. i.e., when I export the slide show with no songs, the resulting QT file can be, say, 500KB. If I export the same slide show with a songs, the File increases by the same size of the MP3 songs size Say 4MB. Assuming that the songs palys in its entirety.
Do I understand this right?
Anyway, I tried exporting with Movie to Hinted Movie (pull down menu) and it remains in a MPEG LAyer-3???
Back to my original question? I'm trying to create a .mov, hinted, but that list (command +I) while playing
MPEG-4 Audio, Mono 44100HZ
MPEG-4 Video, 320X240, Millions
Movie FPS :30
When I export the pull down menu contains a multitudes of choices:
Movie to 3G
Movie to AVI
Movie to BMP
Movie to DivX AVI
Movie to FLC
Movie to to Hinted movie (I tried this one)
Movie to image sequence
Movie to MPEG-4 ( I also tried this one)
Movie to picture
Movie to Quicktime Media link
Movie to Quicktime Movie
Movie to Toast Video CD
Sound to Aiff
Sound toSystem 7 sound
Sound to Wave
Sound to uLAw
PLease lead the way!!!

4 simple questions(I guess) about audio files in FCP X.

Hello,please help me.
1) Is it appropriate to import my audio files from "Music and Sound Browser" tab into FCPX) or its a better idea to arrange all Audio files
what I am going to use in a folder and then import from finder window?
2)Is it possible to drag and drop music tracks from "Music and Sound Browser " tab to Event Browser without put the audio
in sequence?how?
3)How to import a part of a music / soundtrack? (Can I mark in / out BEFORE I drag to timeline)? I mean,set IN / OUT directly from
Music and Sound Browser" tab.
4)How to connect music / sounds what I have in "Music and Sound Browser" tab TO connected clips (NOT to primary story line clips)?
thank you

Actually, you can have music from the Media Browser edit any way you want into a Timeline: either to a Storyline, or be a Connected Clip, or do an Insert Edit. Highlight the song, click the desired Edit button. Keyboard shortcuts don't work for this.
Drag-and-drop any selection for the Media Browser to an Event. It will COPY that audio file into your Event folder, so you'll now have two physical copies. One in iTunes/sound library, one in your Event folder.

Import video mp4 to CS4 but appear as an audio file???

I've just installed Premiere Pro Cs4 4.0.0
At the first time, I imported a mp4 video file:
Video: MPEG4 VIDEO (H264) 1280x720 29.97fps [Video]
Audio: AAC 48000Hz stereo 1536Kbps [Audio]
And it appeared correctly in the Premiere
But the next time, I still imported that Mp4 file but now it only appears as an audio file
What's the problem? Pls help me

Along with Harm's suggestion, did you install anything else, between the file Imports? It sounds like your H.264 CODEC is missing/corrupted.
Now, updating should repair/replace the H.264 CODEC, but if it does not, you might need to find an H.264, download and install that. Re-boot and try the Import again.
Apple's newer QT Players contain their H.264. Some have issues with that one, and more folk use the MainConcept (think that is in CS4.2), or the Lead version. Many shy away from even having QT Player installed.
Good luck,
Hunt
