Procedure and format guide for newb?

I just bought an 30g Video ipod. Is there a guide that tells what is the best way to format and load your ipod. Most of my music is downloaded from cds, not online. What are the advantages/disadvantages to AAC or MP3 (or any other format). When I download my cds to itunes is it automatically converted to MP3 or not until I load the ipod. I understand it is not good to convert from MP3 to AAC, is this correct? As you see, I know nothing, any help is appreciated.

Welcome to discussions!
1) AAC & mp3 will give the same file size at the same bitrate when importing. AAC should have better audio quality than an mp3 file at a lower bitrate. Ex.: AAC @128 should equal or better audio quality of mp3 @ 160. The one disadvantage to AAC is that it is not as universal a format as mp3.
2) You must set your importing preferences to the format & bitrate you desire prior to importing CD's into iTunes, there is no automatic conversion. Importing in AAC, files will be in AAC, etc. There is no "on the fly" conversion of files when transferring to iPod. Whatever format you have used to import into iTunes, will be the format for the files on the iPod.
3) Converting from one lossy format to another will cause a loss of audio quality. Only your ears can tell if this loss is acceptable or not.
Any more questions, please post back.

  • If I have an i-pod classic and format it for windows, will all the original music be erased?, If I have an i-pod classic and format it for windows, will all the original music be erased?

    If I have an i-pod classic and format it for windows for my new Dell laptop, will the original music on it be erased?

    Yes, but if the device is formatted for Mac then you'll either need a Mac or an HFS+ driver for Windows (try hfsexplorer) to extract the data from it. See Recover your iTunes library from your iPod or iOS device for some ideas on recovery. The manual method listed at the bottom of the table and the driver should be enogh if you only need the media and aren't worried about ratings, play counts and playlists.

  • Where is the iOS6 version of the iPad User Guide and /or guide for the new version of Maps?

    Yesterday I installed iOS6 along with 4 updates one of which was the User Guide, as I recall.   But my user guide till has iOS5  Maps guidance so must be the old guide.  How do I download the iOS6 UserGuide and new Maps guidance? Thanks

    There doesn't seem to be one for iPad yet. There is an iOS 6 guide for iPhone. They are virtually the same.

  • Sizing and Config Guides for AC10

    Hi there,
    there was a statement with General Availability of AC10 there will be a Sizing Guide available for Access Control 10 (or GRC10). So far I could only find the one for 5.3, so does there exist any Sizing Guide yet? Desperately waiting...
    Also, is there / will there be a comprehensive Configuration Guide like it was available for 5.3?
    Thanks,
    Daniela

    Hi Daniela,
    Yes, both configuration and sizing guides are still in creation process. It would be good if you keep checking service market place for the updates.

  • Procedure and Format for emailing a short video clip from iMovie 08

    I use one of the new Panasonic HiDef AVCHD digital video cameras. iMovie 08 works great, no complaints there. From time to time I would like to email very short (5-20 second) video clips, rather than putting them up on iWeb, YouTube, etc.
    There are so many "sharing" options, and I haven't had much luck with emailing these short clips. Many of the recipients are Windows users, so I'm not sure QuickTime is the answer. What is the best way to email short video clips from iMovie 08?

    What is the best way to email short video clips from iMovie 08?
    Assuming you and your recipients' mail clients all allow attachments up to 10 MBs, then a 20-second clip can have a combined data rate of up to 500 KB/s (4.0Mbit/s). This means you can use any share/export compressions format option available to you from within iMovie '08. Therefore, the real question becomes, what compression formats can your recipients play. Have you tried asking them to see if there is a single compression format that everyone can play? If no QT compression format is compatible everyone, then you will likely have to perform a secondary conversion to one that will be compatible. H.264/AAC would provide the smallest files for a given level of quality but require QT 7 (or similar multi-media player). MPEG4/AAC would probably be the most compatible format you can export directly from within iMovie '08. (Would have recommended Sorenson 3/IMA but data rate limitation appears to be ignored.) MPEG-1 files can probably be played by everyone but have higher data rate requirements which may restrict files to SD dimensions and require additional software to create external to iMovie '08. DivX or WMV would probably make your Windows users happy but requires Mac users to have a compatible component for viewing in the QT Player.
    Try the "Export using QuickTime" Share menu option ("Movie to MPEG-4") settings:
    Video
    MP4 File Type
    MPEG-4 Improved Compressor
    Data rate in the range from 1,000 (640x480) to 3800 (near HD dimensions)
    Current (or user specified) dimensions
    Current Frame Rate
    Key Frame every 24 frames
    Audio:
    AAC-LC Music
    Mono
    64 Kbps Data Rate
    44.1 KHz Sampling Rate

  • Recording a voice and formatting it for e-mail

    my mac book pro is standard with no special programs. how can I record a voice, what format should i save it in to attach it to an e-mail.
    thanks

    QuickTime Player would be my recommendation, it will save as Audio.mov by default which you can drag and drop into your Mail document. PC users will also be able to listen to this if they have installed the Free version of QuickTime for Windows.

  • Can I get a time and percentage guide for rendering?

    This seems like a silly point to raise, but one of the things I am missing most with the new FCP is the box that would appear giving you a percentage of render completed and an estimate of the time left for it to finish. Is there a box I can tick somewhere to have this with FCPX or do I have to put up with the disappearing orange line?
    I found it really useful knowing how much time I had left for a render, its annoying me having to guess how quickly the orange line is disappearing! If so, I hope Apple include this in an update soon, its the little things that ruin the user experience...

    In the centre of the toolbar there is a circular indicator which goes around while background tasks are going on.
    Click this and a window will open with progress bars showing render status.
    Usually there's a disclosure triangle you can twirl for even more detailed info about the individual background tasks.
    However.
    If you are using ProRes 422 or other codec which you can deit natively (such as XDCAM EX) you can turn off background rendering (in preferences) as you can play back your footage without rendering - unless you've added effects etc, in which case you will need to render to see the effect.

  • Setting format and format options in Output module settings for render queue item

    Hello,
    I am unable to set the "Format" and "Format options" for video in output module settings programatically using After effects apis.
    I referred the after effects cs3 sdk guide for the apis.
    I find apis for all other options in the "outputmodule settings " like :
    AEGP_SetEmbedOptions
    AEGP_SetOutputChannels
    AEGP_SetStretchInfo
    AEGP_SetSoundFormatInfo
    But there is no api listed for setting the options available in the "Format" tab and "Format options" tab.
    The "Format" tab and "Format options" tab is available in the dialog that opens when user clicks on the Output module settings for the render queue item.
    The format tab when clicked shows a drop down list with aff different formats. By default "Video for Windows" is set.
    The drop down list contains following format options
    Adobe Clip Notes
    Adobe Flash video
    Quicktime movie
    Video for Windows
    I need to be able to set the "Quicktime movie" option in the Format tab programmatically and then set the compression type as "Animation" in the compression settings programatically using the api functions available in AE CS3 SDK
    Please suggest the suitable api to do so.
    I need to write my own plugin to export to Quicktime movie using the after effects apis.
    I follow below steps to do so.
    1. AEGP_InsertMenuCommand and add export option to AE with my own plugin name
    2. In the command hook, select active item using AEGP_GetActiveItem
    3. Add it to render queue
    4. Set the output module settings for 0 th output module using
    suites.OutputModuleSuite1()
    5. Use different functions from suites.OutputModuleSuite1() to set the output module settings like EmbedOptions,StrechInfo etc.
    6. Till this step, I am doing it right. But I am not able to find any api for setting Format options using suites.OutputModuleSuite1()
    I also checked all other suites available for setting FormatOptions but no luck.
    Please help.
    Thanks,
    -Namita

    Hi Namita,
    I am experiencing the same problem.
    I am using AE CC SDK, and I am unable to change the outputmodule format to any of the other movie format types (mov, mpg, flv, etc.).
    It is always set to "avi"
    I even compiled and ran the Queuebert example in the SDK, and there I get the same problem: the path extension is always left on ".avi"
    Does anyone know how to change this?
