Question about converting to 128kbps for iphone 4

good day. i was wondering about the 'convert higher bit rate songs to 128kbps' option. i always import my bought cd's in apple lossless, and i guess the music i buy on itunes is 256, so that said i have a few playlists on my 16gb iphone 4 and with all the other stuff on there i still have 9gb's free. would it be worth it to me to convert the songs to 128kbps? will the sound be noticeably worse? i have what are considered really good headphones as well so how will that work out as well? thanks for any help. really wondering about the sound quality in case i end up using more of my memory with pics and apps in the future.

would it be worth it to me to convert the songs to 128kbps? will the sound be noticeably worse?
On the iPhone while moving around, sitting in an office, doing stuff, you will likely not notice any difference.
Perhaps if you sit in a very quiet room and really concentrate on listening, you may notice very minor differnece in quality.
That option is to save space on the iDevice. If you have plenty, don't use it.
Note that when you use this option on the Summary screen in iTunes, it only converts when adding to the iPhone.
Your library is not changed at all.

  • Question about the Zagg InvisibleSHIELD for iPhone 4

    Does it affect the clearness of the retina display screen on the iPhone 4? Also, does the maximum coverage cover the band that goes around the phone very well? Just trying to get a better feel for the Zqgg invisibleSHIELD.
    Stephan

    I just got the iPhone 4 and decided to compliment it with the InvisibleShield from Zagg, having the same shield on my iPod Touch and loved it. I went with the Max Coverage version which comes with front/back/sides coverage. I also picked up the Otterbox Defender case to go with it.
    Since the Otterbox Defender fits the iPhone so snuggly, I was not able to keep the side shields on the iPhone, and even with the front and back shields in place it was tricky to make it fit properly into the case, but wasn't impossible, so I currently have the front/back shields on and the iPhone is in the Otterbox.
    The problem: The protective shield on the Otterbox seems to stick to the InvisibleShield film and causes a pressed look. I am able to "unstick" the two shields by squeezing the sides of the Otterbox so that the Otterbox shield lifts away from InvisibleShield but this is hardly ideal, and a few touches later and I'm back to square one..I am tempted to just remove the InvisibleShield completely from the front...do I really need both shields anyway?? It would be nice to keep the InvisibleShield on though, for times where I may not have it in the Otterbox.
    Has anyone experienced this issue and have a solution, aside from removing the InvisibleShield???

  • Question About Sharing Apps Between My iPhone and My Wife's iPhone

    Hi, I have a question about downloading apps to my iPhone.
    I ordered two iPhone 3g's - one for my wife and one for me, and I've discovered that when I download an app (even free ones) on my iPhone and then later sync it to iTunes, my wife cannot put it on her phone. However if I download it on iTunes on my computer and later sync it to my phone, then my wife is able to sync it to her phone as well. It's no big deal when they are free because she can just go get it if she wants it. I haven't purchased any apps yet, but is there a way to be able to give my wife apps that I purchase on my iPhone? Or do I need to purchase all of my [pay] apps and songs on iTunes on my computer to ensure we both have access? Or do I have it all wrong completely LOL?? This rights management stuff is confusing.
    Thanks in advance for your help,
    Jimmy

    I had my iTunes account and phone before I got my wife's hers. When I first started, I synced hers from her account on my computer brought in my libraries and authorized her phone as one of the 5 allowed. She had all purchased apps and music. Over time we each bought music or apps on our seperate accouts. Of course, we told each other about cool apps or music we bought and wanted on our phone. When I went to sync iTunes was going to delete all music and apps and sync with the library I was logged into. Didn't want that, only work around I have found is to copy new music or new apps from one library to the other. Updating on the phone is also difficult because you can't switch between accounts so updates have to be done at the computer for apps bought under different accounts. I am sure there is a better way to do this and ask for an insight anyone would have. I hope it works out.

  • Question about lead in music for podcasting.

    Question about lead in music for podcasting.
    I listen to many other podcasts and there are those which play lead in music with bit of music inside their podcast. The music are songs we all know and enjoy. I have notice that they only play short small clips of these songs and are not royalty free songs.
    My Question would be is there a limit of time which you can play any song with out paying for it and use it in a podcast legally.
    Thanks Mike

    Legally you cannot use copyright music without written permission or a licence from a recognized authority, no matter how short the clip. Many people do this and get away with it (and for full tracks too) and it's debatable how much notice anyone is likely to take, or whether they would be bothered about a short clip. But the legal position is, it's not legal.

  • Questions about converting files in order to import to iMovie '09?

    I was able to import the videos from my camera (.mts files) into iMovie '09, but now when I click Import from Camera, iSight opens up instead. Since I can't find out why it won't open up my camera files now, I have decided on just converting the files. I just have a question about converting though. The videos I recorded from my camera are in HD. They're very good quality. If I convert the videos from .mts into .mp4, would that reduce the quality of the video?

    When that happens to me I get stubborn and make iMovie see the camera by shutting down and reopening iMovie, because I don't want another level of transcoding. If that doesn't work and you have a card reader of even better, a sd slot on your iMac, just plug the card in. If it appears on the desktop iMovie should see it, and if it appears on your desktop then iMovie should read it.
    I have a Canon HFS 100 that works best if I take the card out and plug it into the computer.
    The times I converted to .mp4, I thought the quality did degrade, because it had to be converted to .mp4 and then imported as AIC. But I am not an expert on whether iMovie can deal with .mp4 directly.
    Canons require that one have the camcorder plugged into a power outlet, another reason to use a card reader.
    What kind of camcorder do you have?  With some camcorders, if one takes both photos and video, the video won't be read.
    When nothing works, occasionally deleting iMovie preferences works.

    Also does anyone know another free software tht works great to convert markIII 60>23.98 footage?
    Thank u thank u thank u !!!!

    Questions about Cinema Tools should be asked in the Final Cut Studio forum.

  • What exactly does "convert [video] selection for iphone" do?

    I have a lot of video, both movies and tv shows, that I've used ffmpegx to convert (usually from .avi) to an AppleTV preset in h264. As it stands, iTunes won't allow me to put them on the 3G. (I know some people have had problems with putting h264 on their 2.0 firmware phones, but this question is a little different.) If I tell iTunes to convert the selection for me, what happens? Does it duplicate the video in two resolutions? Will it reduce the resolution and make the video look worse on my AppleTV? Or is it completely harmless?
    Also, is there any reliable way to convert video in a batch, perhaps with a third-party program? It's pretty obnoxious that you can only convert one video at a time, slowly, with iTunes.

    The iPhone can play these formats:
    H.264 video, up to 1.5 Mbps, 640 by 480 pixels, 30 frames per second, Low-Complexity version of the H.264 Baseline Profile with AAC-LC audio up to 160 Kbps, 48kHz, stereo audio in .m4v, .mp4, and .mov file formats; H.264 video, up to 2.5 Mbps, 640 by 480 pixels, 30 frames per second, Baseline Profile up to Level 3.0 with AAC-LC audio up to 160 Kbps, 48kHz, stereo audio in .m4v, .mp4, and .mov file formats; MPEG-4 video, up to 2.5 Mbps, 640 by 480 pixels, 30 frames per second, Simple Profile with AAC-LC audio up to 160 Kbps, 48kHz, stereo audio in .m4v, .mp4, and .mov file formats.
    What ever you do its going to take a long time to convert a large library. Which is why I recommend the Turbo.264. I'm converting a full length movie to iPhone format at 48fps as I write this. Also because the Turbo takes the strain off the Mac I can carry on using my computer with no problems.

  • General question about converting...

    Hi,
    I'm kinda new to editing and I'm working on a project here using PP CS3 and a lot of footage in .vob file format.
    I've read some posts in this forum, and I know that a lot of people have problems importing .vob files and that a lot of users recommend using Premiere Elements.
    Now that is for a few reasons not an option for me, and I've kinda had a good expercience importing .vob files via the Avisynth method, which really works perfectly (no red frames, etc.) - BUT PP starts crashing when exporting a project bigger than 2-3 min using those .vob files...
    That does not happen when I use .avi (or other) footage...
    I've read in other posts that people recommend converting the .vob files to (uncompressed) .avi - and I tried that, but it seems to me - just looking at the footage - that the quality is slightly worse...
    Is that in general the case, that you loose quality when converting to .avi (or maybe converting in general) ?
    What output format would you recommend converting to (from .vob) when trying to keep the quality but getting a smaller file size than uncompressed .avi ?
    Btw, I use Carbon Coder for converting the footage...
    Thanx for your help in advance !
    Mike

    Harm,
    thanx for your reply.
    The footage was given to me in .vob file format, so I can't play it through the camera...
    And coming back to the Apple Juice ;), I know that the quality did already take a hit that's why I'm (desperately) trying to keep the quality we have to start with...
    What about converting to .avi using the HuffYUV codec (read that in another post)?

  • Question about required workshop classes for OCP

    Im working on finishing up my OCP in a few months. Quick question about the workshop class. Is there a test at the end of the week?
    Also how do most people pay for these classes? They are pretty steep and my company doesnt pay for stuff like this for me. Im paying totally out of my own pocket. Also why is the online class the same amount as the instructor lead class? Its not like im in a room at some building that Oracle has to lease for use or something.

  • Question about source system copy for BW

    Dear all,
    I have a quick question about copying a source system for BW.
    We have two clients in the source ERP:
    100 Customizing
    200 Testing
    Our BW is only linked to client 200, so when we now delete client 200 and make a copy from 100 to 200, are we then still able to restore the source system connection so that our extraction will work, or will it fail, as in client 100 I have no BW related (except the cross-client-objects like datasource) information, that can be used for a possible restore of this connection.
    What is the procedure in this case?
    Thanks,
    Andreas

    Unfortunately, you will lose your source connection and need to create a new one in R/3.  You can use the same source system name in BW, but check the source system connection after the copy (SM59).  Also, I would "Restore" the source system (in BW, right-click on Source system in RSA1, and click "Restore") to insure the datasources get replicated from R/3 to BW.
    Depending on how much you want your BW and R/3 systems to be in synch, you will need to rebuild all your data providers (cubes/ODS's) from your R/3 system.  This means deleting all the data and running the initializations from scratch.  At the very least, you will need to rebuild the delta queues.
    Curious, if 100 is just for customizing, is there any data in it?  Are you just creating a new blank client 200?

  • Some question about Toshiab reocvery disk for Satellite P300-133

    Hello guys ,
    I got some questions about unpleasant recovery surprises :
    *1)* I just made recovery DVD using Toshiba Recovery Disk Creator and it initially asked for 2 DVDs - but when the first one was done it didn`t require a second blanc DVD . Is it possible all system files of Windows Vista to be written on 1 DVD ?
    *2)* Could I reinstall Windows Vista using the HDD Recovery option ( by pressing F8 ) without using recovery DVD ?
    *3)* Which HDD partitions`ll be formatted ( just system C: or both C: and E: ) using HDD recovery ?
    *4)* What is recovery DVD - Image of the hard drives or Vista installation files ?
    Its pretty bad idea not to include OS on DVD when I have paid for it.
    Thanks for all the problems to Toshiba :(

    1. I think the recovery disk creator means 2 CDs. I have a Portege M700 with Windows Vista and one DVD too. I recovered it and after this I have a clean Vista installation with all drivers and tools from Toshiba. Nothing is missing.
    2. Yes, you can reinstall Vista using the HDD Recovery option when you press F8 at startup. You dont need the recovery DVD but you should create one when your HDD get some errors or something else. If you need a new Recovery DVD, you have pay for one.
    3. The complete HDD and partitions will be formatted, so backup your data first on a DVD, external HDD, USB stick or something else.
    After the reinstallation you have the factory settings.
    4. The recovery DVD is an image of the HDD about the factory settings. If you make a recovery, there are all drivers and tools already installed. Of course on the disk are the installations files of Vista, but you can only use this DVD on your Satellite P300. The disk can not be used on an other Satellite or on a PC.
    When you have more questions, have a look in the user manual. There are a many in formations about the recovery. Its in chapter 3.

  • Question about costs of Wifi on iPhone?

    Do you have to pay to go on wifi, even your home wifi, on your iPhone?
    Cheers
    Jamie Skinner

    Hi Jamie
    Firstly, you do not have to pay to go on your home WiFi, however if you have a bandwidth limit/month then obviously you will be eating into that on your iPhone the same as a computer. Whether you have to pay for other WiFi depends on where you are. The Cloud network in the UK gives iPhone users free access so again no costs there, if you want to log onto other networks charges may apply, but you can't incur charges for trying. A lot of hotels will charge you up front for a password for their access, again if you are unable to connect without the password then you can't incur any charges.
    EDGE is also free for iPhone users so if you are unable to find any WiFi then EDGE or the slower GPRS are also free.
    Be careful, however, if you travel abroad and are roaming away from O2 coverage. Most advise turning Data Roaming off whilst abroad to avoid large data bills when returning home.

  • Question about converting to Quicktime: "Searching for movie data"

    Hi All -
    I converted several clips on FCP to Quicktime files onto my MacBook Pro. They play just fine. However, when I send these files to someone else or try to play them when my external hard drive is disconnected from my MacBook, I get the following message: "Searching for movie data in file sequence Sequence1-FIN-0000006".
    The sequence number changes from one movie to the next, of course. Either way, the QT file will not play unless my external hard drive is connected to my laptop.
    Why is this? Am I converting wrong? I'm using the top Convert to Quicktime when exporting the footage.
    Any insight would be very helpful.
    Thanks!!

    Don't mean to disagree David, but that's not it.  What was exported were REFERENCE QT files...not SELF CONTAINED.  Meaning that smaller files were made that reference the media on the Capture Scratch.  They will work fine on your system, as the media being referenced is there.  When someone else tries to open them, they get that error, because they don't have the media being referenced.
    When you export QT Movies, you need to check the SELF CONTAINED box.
