Saving m4a or m4v as new file at double speed

Hi - I know I can listen to or watch an m4a or m4v file at double speed in QT7 using the A/V controls, but is there a way that I can save as or export the file at double speed? I want to be able to replay it at double speed on my ipod.
Thanks

A/V control settings are not saved with the file except for playback in QuickTime Player (and only that machine).
In order to "trick" the QuickTime Player app to play the fie at double (or any other speed) you need to make a new file. You do this by adding (scaled) your source file with a "dummy" file.
The dummy file represents the "time" you wish for the source file to display at your desired playback speed. I use audio only files to keep things simple.
Once you add (Scaled) to a shorter duration the video and audio tracks will playback at a different speed.
You "extract" via the Movie Properties window of QuickTime Player Pro.

Elements 11: saved version treated as a new file

When I edit a picture and save the result (using either "save" or "save as" and making sure there are ticks in "Save in Elements Organiser" and "Save in version set with original"), the edited copy is often (perhaps 3 times out of 4) treated not as a new version but as a new file. When I close the edit, I am told that there is a new file in a watched folder. When I accept this, I am offered any tags which were applied to the original (which helps a bit) but then have to find my way to the edited file and the original, and manually make them into a set. This is a real pain- it adds a couple of minutes to each edit. I am using Photoshop 11 on a Windows 8 laptop with a 1000GB hard disc (with about 100GB free). My catalog is quite big- about 70,000 items. I am a long-time Elements user (since the original?). This problem is fairly new (ie months not years)- certainly since I moved to V11. This is independent of the format of the original (in my case, RAW or jpeg) or the edited file (in my case usually jpeg).

I'm now on Elements 12, and the same problem is back only worse. When I edit a pictures and save as version set, 9 times out of 10 the edited picture is treated as a new addition to the catalogue. So I try the method that worked with Elements 11- switch off "Watch folders". When I do this the saved picture simply disappears- it isn't saved as version set, and it doesn't pop up as a new picture. After trying this with ten pictures, I retrieve the updated pictures by using file/Get photos and videos/from files and folders, pointing at the relevant folder. They are there, so I retrieve them and individually add them to a set with each original. But this is a long-winded way of doing what Elements should be doing for me automatically. I try closing Elements and re-starting, but that doesn't help.
The curious thing is that when I switch watched folders back on, Elelements just very occasionally does the right thing- it saves the updated picture as a version set. About one time in ten, but at random.
This does look to me like a performance-related problem.
I'm running Elements on a Windows 8.1 system, with hardware Intel Core i5 and 8GB memory, and a one terabyte hard disc (it's a Lenova ideapad laptop). The picture folder hierarchy is big- currently 658GB. I do make efforts to prune it, and plainly if I was able to devote a solid week to doing this could bring the size down significantly. My main camera has a 24MP sensor and I often use RAW, which doesn't help (though I usually delete the RAW after my initial editing session on each group of pictures). Would it help to do a major pruning exercise? People when I raised this before thought not.
Any ideas? This problem is a real pain- nine times out of ten when I do an edit, I have to bring the edited picture in as new, find it amongst the group with the relevant tag, and make it into a version set with the original..

Saving a trimmed clip as new file?

hi
i'm tring to resize clips down to just the parts i want, i'm not wanting to make a dvd or anything at this point.
in ulead i often used a feature let me save a clip that i trimmed down off as a new file. i did this to save on disc space and get rid the junk frames. in elements i can see how to trim from the left and from the right, and to split a clip, but i can not figure out how to save off that trimmed video to a new file. or even change the length of the original.
thanks

Once you have your trimmed clip on your timeline, just go to Share/Personal Computer/DV-AVI to output it.

Flash gives me an error when I compile after I 'Saved As' the FLA with new file name

This seems weird. My code worked in the original FLA (using AS3) but when I 'Save As' as a new doc,
It gives me a compiling error below:
TypeError: Error #1009: Cannot access a property or method of a null object reference.
at flash_fla::MainTimeline/frame1()
Any ideas why this happens?
Does it have to do with path to the Library? Is there a way to reset this within Flash or do I have to copy and paste the code to a totally new AS3 file?
Thanks

kglad,
It doesn't specify what line the error takes place.
The weird thing is...
when I copy and paste the code on a totally new AS3 document and rebuild the movie clips within that document, it works fine.
but for some reason...when I 'Save As' to a new file name, it's like it doesn't acknowledge the MovieClips in the Library anymore..
It's kind of frustrating...
Not really a show stopper....but it does waste some time.
I don't know if you run into anything like this before.

Adobe Audition 3.0, saved a multisession, problems adding new files after re-opening

Hello,
I have saved a multisession track to continue another time, and now I tried to adding back more files to the multisession, but I get a message "interpret sound format as" and I have to choose the sample rate, channel and Resolution... After I let the setting as default, the track is added but it is messed up cause I don't hear the song anymore... I only hear an annoying noise throughout the whole song. Also when I click on a song to open it, in the right box it says RAW PCM or unsupported format, but I haven't had these problems before when I started to make the multisession!
It seems something has messed up when I saved the multisession but I can not figure out.
Does anybody know what I did wrong and how I can fix this?
Thanks in advance
Filip

"Combine PDFs" Places New File In /private/var/folders/0Q etc. WHERE?

I have just used Automator to combine .pdfs.
Apparently it has put the combined file in ....
/private/var/folders/0Q/0QlZ-reFFvSsYn6CVY8VXk+Ti/-Tmp-/ftqdhY.pdf
So where on earth is that?
I can summon up the new file by double-clicking it in the Automator "Results" window and save it somewhere convenient, but I would like to be able to drag the original from where it is hiding and put it in a place of my choosing.

Thanks! The nearest I could find to your suggested action was "New Folder", which I didn't hold out much hope for, but it worked!
Any idea how to access the weird place my original attempts were put into?

Preview.app new bug : stops opening new files

Starting a couple weeks ago, perhaps with my update to iLife 09 or perhaps related to a recent system update, Preview.app has a new bug for me.
If I open a few files (jpg, pdf, etc) with Preview.app, it will mysteriously stop opening new files. Double clicking the files in Finder, using Preview->Menu->File->Open, or any "open with..." functionality causes Preview to get the focus (come forward) but the file does not open.
I am not able to make it happen consistently with any set of files, but it is not any single file causing the problem. I've had this happen every day for the last couple weeks and it is now moved from annoyance to extreme annoyance.
If I close Preview.app and restart it, the same file that would not open will open fine. I have not been able to narrow this down, but I see this in Console:
4/17/09 2:12:29 PM Fri Apr 17 Preview[11193] * -[NSCFArray insertObject:atIndex:]: attempt to insert nil
As I said, the main thing I've changed recently is installing iLife 09. I'll continue to try to create a replicatable test set, but so far it seems more mercurial than that
Anyone else seeing this?

Well, let me describe it a different way. I do not believe there is any way permissions for the files I'm opening could have anything to do with this.
1) I open a jpg with preview, leave preview.app running
2) I go do something else
3) I open a PDF in firefox, it opens preview with the pdf
4) I go do something else
5) I open a jpeg with preview
6) I try to open another jpeg with preview and it does not open.
7) No file of any sort, even the same file I opened in step 1 or 5 will now open in Preview. Preview.app is now completely unable to open new files.
Generally, I leave Preview.app running. This bug makes that completely non-functional. It also means I can't use preview.app to compare images side by side because it so often won't open the images after a dozen or so files get opened during its process-life.

Writing to specific cells of existing Excel file and saving as a new file using LV 8.6

Hi all,
I am new to LV and am currently tasked to create a program that can open an existing excel file, input data in the program that will be written to a specific cell in the excel file and then saving the current edited file as a new file.
I have browsed through all the forums but I am unable to view the examples sent in them as I am using LV 8.6 which is why I am still having trouble visualizing how to create a program like this. Can anyone help me and mentor me how to write this program in this version of LV? I do not have a microsoft office toolkit hence another approach could be preferred. Thank you.

Thank you for helping me on this. However I do not really understand how does ActiveEx work. I have created a Vi according to the picture that you provided but there was some error in running the file.
Below is my own VI that I am trying to create. It consists of multiple string inputs which I am trying to input each into an existing file. I have created a separate txt file which has the cell numbers. I am trying to allocate each string into each respective cell in an existing file. I am currently having the problem of doing this "allocation" of each string as I do not have the microsoft office tool kit. Is there any other way for me to do so?
Also, I would like to save the newly created file as a new file with the name as seen in my VI. How would I be able to do it?
Please help me as I am stuck here but do not know how to continue

Saving File with new file name

I am subclassing JFileChooser and implementing ActionListener for being able to save and open files.
I am using different file extensions (.ac and .ps), and when saving, I first check that the file name has the right extension.
If it doesn't, I add the right extension.
But for some reason it doesn't show my saved new file, even though in the debugger it goes through all the code of saving.
Here is the main portion of my code before the code of saving (adaptee is my JFileChooser):
File ananyaFile = adaptee.getSelectedFile();
String name = ananyaFile.getName();
int l = name.length();
if (!(l >= 4 && name.charAt(l - 3) == '.' &&
((adaptee.getFileFilter() == adaptee.acExtensionFilter &&
name.charAt(l - 2) == 'a' && name.charAt(l - 1) == 'c') ||
(adaptee.getFileFilter() == adaptee.psExtensionFilter &&
name.charAt(l - 2) == 'p' && name.charAt(l - 1) == 's'))))
if (adaptee.getFileFilter() == adaptee.acExtensionFilter)
name = name + ".ac";
ananyaFile = new File(name);
adaptee.setSelectedFile(ananyaFile);
else if (adaptee.getFileFilter() == adaptee.psExtensionFilter)
name = name + ".ps";
ananyaFile = new File(name);
adaptee.setSelectedFile(ananyaFile);
Why does it not show my saved new file? Do I have to set it somewhere else?
Thanks for your time!

Ok, I put the code which adds the extension
File ananyaFile = this.getSelectedFile();
if (ananyaFile == null)
   return;
String name = ananyaFile.getName();
int l = name.length();
if (!(l >= 4 && name.charAt(l - 3) == '.' &&
   name.charAt(l - 2) == 'a' && name.charAt(l - 1) == 'c')
   name = name + ".ac";
   ananyaFile = new File(name);
   this.setSelectedFile(ananyaFile);
}into the approveSelection method of my subclass of JFileChooser.
If someone wants to open a file without writing the extension and the file with the extension (which was added in my code) exists, it does get opened.
Also, if someone wants to save a file without writing the extension and the file with the extension (which was added in my code) exists, it does ask if you want to replace the file (as I have programmed).
But if you say yes, or if you want to save a file without the extension that doesn't yet exists (with the extension), it doesn't save it.
However, saving works fine if someone writes the full file name into the File name box.
Well, I would like to allow the user not to write the extension not only for opening a file, but also for saving a file.
Please help! I am getting pretty desperate! Thanks!

"Tag Editor" for M4A and M4V Files?

I got major corruption in my music files, resulting in either 2 extra letters being inserted in the file names just ahead of the period between the file name and the extension, or the entire filename being replaced by 4 random letters. Found some tag editors that will let me repair MP3 files, by pulling tag data out of the file and using it to fix the file names. Does something like that exist for m4a and m4v files?

No, I'm not suggesting that at all, I was replying to another poster who said they couldn't add artwork to an mp4 at all.
Your equipment likely has nothing to do with this, I have a dual 4 core 3 Ghz Xeon CPU and I too have a considerable wait sometimes adding artwork to some files.
mp4 containers can hold either mpeg4/2 or mpeg4/10, (simple mpeg4 and AVC) and each compression type has a whole array of complexity types associated with it, much the same can be said for audio in the mp4 container.
What I'm saying is that some mp4's will take time to add artwork, some will do it straight away and there are situations where some mp4's won't take artwork. It isn't your system, your hardware or anything you are doing wrong, it's the way it is.

High sample rate data acquisition using DAQ and saving data continuously. Also I would like to chunck data into a new file in every 32M

Hi:
I am very new to LabView, so I need some help to come up with an idea that can help me save data continuously in real time. Also I don't want the file to be too big, so I would like to crete a new file in every 32 mega bytes, and clear the previous buffer. Now I have this code can save voltage data to TDMS file, and the sample rate is 2m Hz, so the volume of data increase very fast, and my computer only have 2G ram, so the computer will freeze after 10 seconds I start to collect data. I need some advise from you briliant people.
Thanks very much I really appreciate that.

Saving PDF under new file name

Hi,

Itunes saves my songs in a new file that is not the default setting

My settings for downloading purchased music from itunes is c:\pop\music.
Since a few months itunes generates a 2nd file named "music" within the existing file "music" and downloads all new songs in there. (It just happens, I surely didn´t tamper with the settings.)
So everytime I buy music from the itunes store the new files are now saved under c:\pop\music\music.
Also my ipod now only synchronizes the new files as long as they´re in c:\pop\music\music and not under c:\pop\music where I want to have them to be able to combine them with the others.
I checked under "Information" of the new songs and for each song the setting for the place where it´s (supposed to be) saved under is still c:\pop\music. Also my default settings are still c:\pop\music.
So why does itunes create a new file?????
I can change almost every entry under "Information" but not the storage location.
I don´t know why this happened and how I can change this back. Can anyone help me here, please!

What im trying to say is, i purchased a imac after getting a new phone, which was on windows.
So i now need to sync it so i can enjoy all the easy pleasures of genius so on and so on
However not eveything made the shift over, so now my itunes on phone has songs from my old library, that due to whatever multiverse lays between mac and pc, are now not available on my new smarter and amazing mac.
So if i sync the phone i will lose my songs, yes which did cost me money!! Does anyone know a way to prevent this?
please bare in mind I am Mac simple, quite ******** really
thank you in advance

How do I change the default save location for new files in Pages back from iCloud to my Documents folder?

I just upgraded OSX to Mountain Lion and Pages to 4.2, and because OSX is syncing with my iCloud account, when I go to save a new file in Pages it defaults to try to save to my iCloud account rather than giving me the folder structure on my hard-drive that I prefer. It requires two extra steps to save to the proper place in my Documents folder on my hard drive.
Is there a way to reset the default so that when I go to save a new file, the folder structure opens to the last saved folder (like it does in other non-iCloud applications) rather than defaulting to my iCloud, and to do it without just removing documents from my iCloud account entirely?
I checked the Preferences for both Pages and iCloud and found nothing about this.

What I meant is turn off Documents and Data in iCloud in OS X. Keep it on on your iOS devices. iCloud will sync documents between the iOS devices and make them available on the iCloud web site, but it won't mess up iWorks' open and save dialog boxes. It also won't assume that you want all your documents in iCloud, which I think is undesirable anyway.
Keep iOS and OS X separate, and use the web site to move files between the two as necessary.
iOS iWork is different from OS X iWork. There are fewer fonts on an iOS device. iOS iWork programs have slightly different feature sets than OS X iWork programs, and the file formats are different. iCloud automatically converts the file format when necessary, but if you make a habit of saving things directly to iCloud, you are limited to the lowest common denominator between the two versions of iWorks. So why would anyone want iWork on the Mac to open and save documents on iCloud by default?
If you want to store files in the cloud and sync them on your Macs, SugarSync is a much better solution. It lets you choose your sync folders, it doesn't make you reorganize your files, it lets you sync all file types, it doesn't convert files to a different format and back, and it stores everything in the cloud, too. Just the simle act of saving a file backs it up and syncs it. I wouldn't live without it. iCloud is best with iTunes purchases and synchronizing Mac settings and iOS files; I woudln't live without it. The two make an unbeatable combination.

How do i set a default group (not staff) for new files?

by default, new files created from within applications appear to be assigned group "staff", regardless of the folder in which they are being created.
i want new files to inherit the group of the folder in which they are being created. if i create a new file from the terminal command-line, this works. note that it also works when creating new folders from the finder and "save as" dialogue boxes.
how do i get this to work for new files saved from all applications?
thanks.

I usually use the .NET method myself, but if I were forced to poll I would do something like this. I use a variant to hold the list of filenames. I would only poll the folder info, when it has been modified then do the Folder List. Any new files are spotted when the variant attribute does not exist (Replace = FALSE), and this is added to the array.
