Saving as wav.mp3

I have Win7 Ultimate 64 bit. To now, Aud3 has worked very well for me, for years, and I have no complaint. And it may still be working well, as I have great faith in my own ability to screw things up and not see the obvious.
Today, I found my usual process to save a wav file as an mp3 was precluded from what I've done for the last several years. Since '81, actually, although I cannot recall when I started using computers. But nearly two decades, I think.
I want to save a wav as a mp3PRO(FhG) which normally, I recall, is followed by (.mp3). Today, that reads (*.wav.*.mp3) and will only save as a wave. There is the raw option, but I'd rather follow precedent and know what's changed and why.
I'm somewhat dotty from no sleep, and willingly admit this may be very simple. If anyone knows, and would be willing to let me know at [email protected] (so I get it faster) I would be grateful. Very.
Thanks.

I never changed it, but I'll certainly change it back, however it happened. Thank you.
Sleep soon.

Unable to decode and import the selected wav/mp3 file

I am trying to import mp3's into a Captivate 3 presentation
but keep getting this error "Unable to decode and import the
selected wav/mp3 file." I am using the same mp3 files that I have
used many times with projects in Cap1 and Cap2. I have converted
the files to wav's and tried but I'm still getting the same
message. I have a deadline and I'm stumped.
Any ideas?

Hi DianaUNC
Interesting. I've seen it happen with WAV files but not MP3.
Do you still have Captivate 2 around? If so, do these successfully
import into Captivate 2? One thought was that you might pop them
into something like Audacity and save them out again. Perhaps
something is amiss with the encoding used.
Or you might try the trick of opening them in Windows Sound
Recorder and saving them out of that in a different format. I know
that works with one particular WAV file I have.
Cheers... Rick

I have a powerpoint presentation with music which works fine when played through my macbook onto tv, but want to save the presentation to dvd. Music doesn't play - presently saved as wav. Anything i can do - have tried through idvd.

Hi
Please describe How You go from PPT to iDVD. Via iMovie ?
If so - then convert Your .wma file to .aiff (same kHz) and use this in iMovie instead. (no .mp3 either)

How do I enable all sound files wav,MP3 on windows 7 64-bit change system sounds

How do I enable all sound files wav,MP3 on windows 7 64-bit change system sounds it will only give me the option to choose wav?

Windows 7 uses .wav (wave) files for the sound events. The default folder that Windows 7 uses to store the sound files in is located at C:\Windows\Media.
You cannot use a MP3 file but there are lots of (WAV to MP3 converters) available on internet which can help you to convert MP3 to wav serving your purpose of changing system sound.

Good day!
I have a problem. When i want to import music file from standart Gallery, i see the mistake: unable to decode and import the selected wav - mp3 file.
I can't import mp3,wav files...
In Adobe Help site i have found this: http://help.adobe.com/en_US/Captivate/4.0/Using/WS5b3ccc516d4fbf351e63e3d119e9582190-7fd8. html
But in my Adobe Captivate 4 directory i don't have file regsvr32 NSAudio.dll.
Question: where i can download this file?
Thanks!

Hi there
As I recall there were two different "fixes" for audio with Captivate 4. One involved replacing the dll and another had something to do with installation problems on Windows XP. So give the link below a try.

CD Audio and CD Digital controlled by Wave/MP3 sli

Using Platinum Li've! card with digital I/O daughter card. I have connected CD ROM (4 pin) cable to CD In on soundcard and DVD to CD SPDIF in on card (2 pin cable) but both devices are still controlled by the wave/mp3 slider on the surround sound mixer. I have downloaded latest drivers, too. I would like to control these devises by their corresponding mixer sliders (CD digital and CD audio). How can I do this?
Thanks!

JeffFun,
You may need to disable Digital CD extraction for your CDrom for this to work. This is done in device manager on the properties section for the CD. This should allow control of the levels directly.

Unable to decode and import wav/mp3 file

I've recorded an audio file using Mbox 2 and Pro Tools LE 7.
I have exported the file to the wav format, but when I try to
import it into my Captivate 2 file, I get the following error
message.
"Unable to decode and import the selected wav/mp3 file."
Any ideas why this is happening?
Thanks for the help.

Hi "Chemistry guy",
A WAV is not a WAV is not a WAV. There are many "types" of
WAV audio file. Check to be sure that your WAV file is in "
PCM" format. That should be easy with a good audio editor.
Matter of fact, it should be easy even with Windows included "Sound
Recorder" application.
To use your own audio editor, I imagine you know how to find
and change file properties.
On the other hand, if you want to use "Sound Recorder" ... on
WinXP go to "Start > All Programs > Accessories >
Entertainment > Sound Recorder", then open the file, then go to
"File > Save As" ... and
at the bottom of the save-as dialog, you will see "Format"
(describing current file formatting) and a button to "CHANGE" that
format. Click the button and you will see a drop-list containing
various formats.
Select "PCM" and
save the file.
Hopefully with this change made, you will be good to go.

Unable to decode and import the select wav/mp3 file

Hi,
I've been TRYING to test the Text-to-speech feature in
Captivate 4. Problem: "Unable to decode and import the select
wav/mp3 file" each and every time I want to use it. Frustrating!
I also tried importing sounds from the library, same problem.
My system is Vista Business 64Bit, 4Gb RAM, Intel SSD hard
drive, conexant high definition audio 221 on a Lenovo T400.
How do I fit this? I want to try it out damnt :)

I went through the "unable to decode and import the selected wav/mp3 file" error. After talking with an Adobe Rep, I quickly realized that I could NOT use the directions. I have no experience in using Command Prompts. I have written down the directions by key stroke for those people that are similar to me. Enjoy!
For Vista and Win7,
Click on the circle start menu,
In the search box, type in command and in the generated list, "right-click" on the comman link and change to "run as administrator".
Go back to the search box, type in command and hit enter. This will take you to the command prompt window (black window w/ white text) lol
You have to get to the right directory first.
Type: cd (space-bar) .. (hit enter)
Type: cd (space-bar) .. (hit enter)
If Captivate is installed on Program Files (x86) ---
Type: cd (space-bar) progra~2 (hit enter)
If Captivate is installed on Program Files
Type: cd (space-bar) progra~1 (hit enter)
Type: cd (space-bar) Adobe (hit enter)
Type: cd (space-bar) Adobe (space-bar) Captivate (space-bar) 4 (hit enter)
Type: regsvr32 (space-bar) NSAudio.dll (hit enter)
If you get an error at any point, re-key that particular line.
Once you see that the last line of command went through, open up Captivate and test the Text to Speech. These instructions fixed both computers I was working on!!!!

CP4 unable to decode and import the selected wav/mp3 file

I am trying to import a .wav file into a project and get an error message 'unable to decode and import the selected wav/mp3 file'.
I have tried the solution huan_miguel posted a week ago for someone with the same problem.
http://blogs.adobe.com/captivate/2009/03/adobe_captivate_4_installatio n.html
executed all the steps described in this link.
Unfortunately, the problem is still there.
Any other solution?

You're probably going to need to do both.
Although Captivate can certainly accept a 10 meg audio file, you would need to add it to the movie and then synchronise the slides to the audio. Chopping the audio file up and adding the relevant bits to each slide has both advantages and disadvantages. It's easier to control the playback synchronisation when you divide up the audio, but it's more work.
Take a look at this graphic from SoundBooth when I export an audio file recorded in Captivate 5:
Notice that it shows the bitrate of the Captivate WAV file as being 16 bit. This is quite a low bitrate. You can go as high as 32 bit in SoundBooth, however, in my experience, when you try to import a WAV into Captivate that is over 16 bit you will encounter issues. Cp just doesn't seem to like it.
If you want to learn more about bit rates in multimedia: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bit_rate
Suffice to say, you need to find out what the current bit rate of the audio file is, and if necessary, save it as 16 bit for Captivate. For this, you will require some kind of audio editing software.
You can try using Audacity as someone else suggested: http://audacity.sourceforge.net/ and try exporting the file out as 16 bit.
However, if you are going to be doing quite a bit of this type of work, I would suggest you invest in Adobe Soundbooth, or something of that ilk. You'll enjoy the experience more.

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.

What happened to all the compressors when saving a wav file?

When saving a wav file in Soundbooth CS3 you had your choice of 7 different compressors. In Soundbooth CS4 you can only save a wav file uncompressed. My office has to save wav files using the CCITT u-Law compressor for uploading to Verizon's VoIP system when we create auto-attendant messages.
I could download a program that will save audio files into other formats, including the CCITT u-Law format, but I would prefer to just use Soundbooth and copying the CompilerWave.prm file from CS3 into CS4 doesn't work. Is there any way to get these compressors back without having to use another program?

Hi,
Several of the WAV compressors available in Soundbooth CS3, including the CCITT u-Law, will be available soon. There were some issues with including them in CS4, but those problems have been resolved. I apologize for the inconvenience. On the upside, the codecs are now faster and several bugs were addressed.
I'll post an announcement here when this is available, and I believe it will show up in the Adobe Updater tool.

Convert zvr to wav/mp3/ogg

hi!
i have a digital voice recorder which records to *.zvr-files. i installed gstreamer0.10-plugins to have all plugins available, but it doesn't seem that any gstreamer-plugin can handle this files.
is there a way to convert *.zvr files to wav, mp3, ogg or to another common audio-format?
i already tried the windows-software delivered with the voice recorder. the software works, it plays the zvr-files. but if i use it's function to convert zvr to wav it just creates a *.wav file of 480 bytes which doesn't work.
there's another conerter for windows: http://www.free-codecs.com/download/ZVR_Converter.htm
it produces the same useless, tiny *.wav files like the voice-recorder-software.
any ideas?
btw: it's a (philips voice tracer 7655)

There's several apps to convert WMA files, you might want to take a look at Switch.

Adobe Audition 3.0.1 - Saving/Converting WAV's to MP3 adds small amounts of time to my MP3 files !!?

Hello.
I am new to the Forum, but turning to the masses out there for help with a weird one!
I have used Adobe Audition for YEARS. I do a lot of converting of my finished WAV files to Mp3 files. The finished WAV's have always been in 48000Hz, 16 bit Stereo, and are always mixed to the specified time (e.g. 15, 30 or 60 seconds duration). These are then converted to mp3 files, using the 'Save As' option, choosing the 'Save As Type' as mp3PRO (Fhg) (*.mp3) option.
My conversion settings have always been:
CBR, mp3, 320Kbps 48000Hz Stereo (4:8:1), Maximum bandwith = 24000Hz, CBR Rate = 320, Sample Rate = 48000Hz, Codec = Current - Best Quality, Allow mid-side joint stereo, allow intensity joint stereo, Set 'Private' Bit, ISO Padding, Write CRC Check Sums.
...Now, for some strange reason, ever since last night, whenever I do the above process - the resulting mp2 file seems to ADD ON little bits of time...from 0.048 of a second to around 0.168 of a second..!!??? So to further clarify: If I convert a 15 second WAV file to mp3 - the resulting mp3 file ends up being slightly longer in duration at: 15.168 seconds..???
This has never happened before. And, a solution has got me beat.
I have tried different conversion settings, different configurations - even saving the initial WAV as a lower sample rate - but, no joy.
I have an old version of Adobe Audition 2.0 on a different machine - and guess what?! Even IT does this same weird thing now too.
It doesn't seem to matter if I REC and convert new files or convert old files - same problem.
Even opening up mp3 files - that I KNOW were spot on for time - now also have these little bits of extra time added to them, once they are openned...??? What the...!!??
I spent over half an hour on the phone with Adobe Tech support, earlier this afternoon. They got me to reset all of my user configuration files - but, didn't slove the issue!
PLEASE: Has anyone experienced this same conversion issue..? I would also be interested to know, if anyone else replicates these conversion settings, if they get the same problem..?
Could this be one of those good old Windows update things..?
Does anyone know if there are updates available for Auditions built-in mp3PRO encoder / decoder..?
PLEASE HELP !!!
Thank you, in advance.
John.

Well I don't know how you've missed this before, but it's always done it. It's a throwback to Syntrillium days, when it was discovered that some MP3 players managed to cut off the starts and finishes of MP3 files. The developers got around this by adding a small amount of silence when coding an MP3. Originally, Audition's loop files were MP3-based as well, but these didn't have the added silence, because obviously that would screw up the looping a treat. But as far as I'm aware, even though players are better now (aren't they???), the additional silence remains.
I'm not surprised that the help desk doesn't know about this - it's a bit subtle. And with the best will in the world, they only have the crib sheets they're given, and they certainly don't cover everything that happens.
