PPT 2013 Conversion: WMA Audio Files

Hello-
I do a number of narrated PowerPoint conversions into SWF-created Captivate files. With the recent upgrade to PowerPoint 2013 for Microsoft PCs, I've noticed that the narrated audio is no longer being converted on Captivate's end because it is WMA format. Do you know of any setting within PowerPoint 2013 or Captivate that will allow WMA files to be allowed or converted to a whitelisted format?
Thanks,
~Kyle~

Hello Kyle,
Welcome to Adobe Forums!
I am afraid that you can only insert audio files with .wav and.mp3 extensions .
If you want to insert your .wma format files you can use Adobe Media Encoder to convert it to mp3 or .wav.
Adobe Media Encoder gets installed with Captivate.
Thanks and Regards

Best method of wma audio file conversion for iTunes/iphones

best method of wma audio file conversion for iTunes/iphones

Fazel,
As you know, iTunes for Mac is not capable of processing WMA files. The two best choices are:
Get access (even temporarily) to iTunes for Windows. It can convert your WMA files to the format indicated in import preferences. Use a USB flash drive to copy the files back to your Mac.
Use a 3rd party conversion program. The one most preferred by Mac users is EasyWMA.
In either case, once you have the converted files, add them to your iTunes library. Then delete the WMA originals.

QuickTime: can't move to a specific point when playing .WMA audio files

I use a lot of .WMA audio files recorded on my Olympus Digital Voice recorder. Since the latest update of QuickTime I cannot move to a specific point in a file. When I click and drag on the diamond cursor it won't move. The only way to move through the file is to play it or 'fast' forward it - which takes ages.

I have the same problem. when playing wma or wmv file, simply just cannot drag the progress bar to a specific position. Just have to progress from the very beginning to the end. Once it has been played to the end, I can move the progress bar. Very weird
I have both flip4Mac and perian installed with the latest version.
Could anybody please help.
cheers

How do I convert a .wma Audio file from a pc to .mp3 for itunes on a mac

I downloaded music from my PC laptop into an external drive. When I connected the external drive to the mac, the .wma Audio files from the PC will not transfer to iTunes on the Mac.
Thanks for any help.

iTunes on the PC will convert wma. iTunes on a Mac won't.
On your PC, add the wma files to iTunes.
iTunes will convert to whatever you have set in iTunes prefs > General - Import settings.
Then copy the imported files to the external then File > Add to library on the Mac.

How can I transfer a WMA audio file with DRM into iTunes?

Is it possible to transfer a DRM, WMA audio lecture file that I download onto my Dell Inspirion laptop into iTunes? I can purchase and download the file using Windows Media. My goal is to get the audio file onto an iPod Nano. The organization that sells these lectures does not support Macintosh at this time and is only supporting Windows based machines.
The Dell laptop uses Windows XP as its operating system.
Powerbook G4 Mac OS X (10.4.4) Use ITunes on Dell Inspirio w/Windows XP

If I understand you correctly, first I burn the file onto a CD using Windows Media Player, then I can import it (rip the file?) into iTunes. After this I could download the file to my Nano.
I want to make sure I know what you meant by "rip the file" into iTunes.
Thank you for your help,

WMA audio files can only placed in audio track 8 for some reason

Using CS3. The only other audio tracks that have any files in them are tracks 1 through 3 . The WMA files in track 8 were recorded from a small digital recorder.
Every other audio file..... mp3 and the captured mpeg's audio portion.... can go in any audio track.
Why are these WMA files not able to be placed in the other tracks?

Per Harm's comment, you can look at the Audio Track Header for the little "speaker" icons for each Track: one speaker = mono, two speakers = stereo, and "5.1" = a 5.1 Audio Track.
If you set up your Project/Sequence with the required Audio Track types for your Assets, you can have your mono, or 5.1 Audio Tracks almost anywhere you want, and can also change the name, from say "Audio 1" to "SFX_Mono_01."
Also, if you have a bunch of unused Audio (or Video) Tracks, you can Delete those, or can create new ones, about wherever you wish. If you do not have the proper type of Audio Track created, PrPro will create a new one, of the proper type, for you. Just drag your Asset to below the Master, and boom! a new proper Track will appear, with the Clip in it.
Good luck,
Hunt

Automating conversion of audio files to mp3

I often use itunes to convert aif files to mp3.. What I would like to do is to automate the process. Is there any way to get itunes to check a folder and convert all files in it to mp3 files?

Nope, iTunes does not "watch" folders at all.

How-To: Convert audio files to the desired Cisco format (SoX example)

Greetings,
This week I spent a few hours on converting PCM encoded wave files to CCITT ulaw encoded wave files. You know, the format we all use for UCCX, IP IVR and the like.
I have been searching the interwebs and came across a few suggestions, amongst others:
o Adobe Audition
o Audacity
I installed Audition Cs5.5 on my Mac, but it wouldn't let me export CCITT ulaw files.
I also installed Audacity, which would let me export files in the right format, but doesn't support batch conversion of audio files. When you're moving from one voice application to another, this is a huge drawback. For occasional conversion, I would recommend this (graphical) tool.
The solution I have used is the open source software SoX (Sound eXchange) which can be found here: http://sox.sourceforge.net/
It is a cross-platform (Win, Linux, Mac) command line utility that can be use to convert audio files, concatenate them and what not. I just this in conjunction with a perl script I made.
The script is attached, in the hope someone else benefits from it. Should work out of the box on Mac and Linux machines. The script will traverse the $dirname directory (not recursively) and convert what it finds to 8bit, 8kHz, mono, CCITT ulaw format.
By the way, to concatenate files just simply type:
sox half1.wav half2.wav full.wav
This will concatenate half1.wav and half2.wav and name the resulting file full.wav.
HTH
P.s: Disclaimer: You might need to edit the script. There is no implied fitness for a particular purpose, YMMV and I shall not be liable for messed up audio files or what not.
Edit: url added.

Hi,
welcome to the beautiful world of open source :-) By the way, I have not seen anybody programming in Perl for a long time.
Just one comment: G.711 uLaw is just the half of the story. Remember, UCCX supports either G.711 uLaw or G.729 as well. And since G.729 has license restrictions (costs $10000 per year if I remember that correctly), no free software can incorporate it to its "convert to" list (apart from reading it, which is fine).
A piece of advice: CUCM has got that voice translator service running, which does the job as well. All you have to do is to upload your files, and you'll get at least four formats ready and available, including G.729 - and it can be downloaded easily using TFTP later and used in UCCX.

I'm trying to extract audio files from my OLYMPUS Digital Voice Recorder VN-6200PC I am getting this error whenever I try to play its file type on my MacBook Pro,"The document "VN622195.WMA" could not be opened. The movie's file format isn't recognized."

The mac has no native way to read .wma files (these are Windows Media Audio files). Do a search on the internet for playing wma files on a mac. You will find several links to solution (one is to use flip4mac).

Saving GarageBand 08 audio files in PPT 2011

I have been using GB to make audio files to insert into PPT for a few years. Suddenly, I cannot save the files. I can insert and play them but they wiil not play the next time I open PPT. Will the upgrade to 11 solve this? Can you tell me why? I have not upgraded because I saw a caution about problems for 11.
MacBook 10.6.8
Thanks

That's definitely a question that only PPT users/experts will be able to answer. The audio files you export from GB are ordinary AIFF/AAC/MP3 files.

Audio Recording - Conversion from .caf files to mp3 / flv

Hi,
Does anybody has done any dynamic audio conversion from .caf files to mp3 or flv format? Basically we have an Iphone app that is recording audio and it saves the data in a SQL Server Database but we want to share this audio in a website. The website need to be able to play the audio in Flash. Does this make sense? I've seen some libraries out there but the Services and Environment are running on Windows so the conversion may be need to be on that environment.
Thanks,

The .cda files you see on the CD are a red herring. Bet you any money you're using Windows. :-)
Besides that, this question has absolutely nothing to do with Collections.

It's 2013 and I want to convert AIFF audio files to MP3s

It’s 2013 and I want to convert .AIFF audio files to .MP3 files on my Mac.
I created some sound files as .MOVs for a band’s website but that format doesn’t work for some Windows OS users who refuse to fetch a QuickTime plugin for their Explorer or Firefox internet browser…("don’t make them think; it either works or it doesn’t.")
I have been told that MP3 audio files are still the most common audio files on the web and I want the band’s music to be in the most-accessible format.
Thanks,
Ron
Also, this is my first Apple Support question and I would appreciate being pointed to the most appropriate forum(s).

Thanks, Joe, that was very useful!
For other people with my problem I should add some of the missing puzzle pieces —
1) A while ago I loaded the songs from the band’s CD onto a previous, now dead, Mac laptop (with a previous Mac OS) and used QuickTime 7 to create down-sampled (and smaller) .mov files. Then I deleted the original .aif files from that computer.
2) Now (back to the present) I wanted the .aif audio files on my new computer to convert them, but the computer doesn’t have a CD/DVD drive. My solution was to use my partner’s iMac.
3) I inserted the CD into the iMac’s drive, clicked "no" to iTunes’ dialog asking if I wanted to import them, created a folder on the desktop, then opened the CD folder on the desktop and copied the songs into the newly-created folder.
4) I copied the new .aif files to a thumbdrive then deleted the .aifs from the iMac.
5) I put the copied thumbdrive .aif songs onto my MacBook Pro Retina (where I had changed iTunes Preferences to MP3) then I 'dropped' the sound file icons onto the iTunes icon in the dock.
5) In iTunes I right-clicked on the songs and chose "Create MP3 Version".
6) Next, I right-clicked on the MP3s in iTunes and chose "Show in Finder". This opened another folder (~/Music/iTunes/iTunes Media/Music/Unknown Artist/Unknown Album/), revealing the MP3s.
7) I created duplicates of the MP3s and moved them to my band's media folder (and will put them on the website after renaming them and editing their webpage for the new audio filenames).
8) Finally, I will delete the .aif and .mp3 songs from my iTunes, using iTunes' interface to ensure it doesn’t get confused.
Sheesh. but I’m still happy to not have a CD/DVD drive on my MacBook Pro. I very rarely use CDs and a drive on the laptop would add bulk and weight while being mostly useless.
