Timecode reader for audio files?

We've just conducted some interviews which we now need to have transcoded and translated for subtitling.
Rather than burn a DVD with a burnt in visual timecode, we thought we'd save some time by uploading just the audio file to the web - is there any way a timecode can be embedded in the audio file so the translation matches perfectly?
Uploading a video file with a visual timecode would result in a huge file size.

This really depends on what the transcriber can deal with.
Some quicktime files and the most recent quicktime player can display the timecode track down in the lower left corner of the player (where you normally see a counter).
The other possibility is to output the timecode to a second audio channel and then the transcriber would need a timecode reader to take that info off of the audio channel. All in all much more hassle then the first option.
As far as not wanting to create video files for upload keep in mind that in doing a window burn the image quality doesn't need to be great or large. You just need the timecode to be readable.

  • Vista - how do you make iTunes the default player for audio files?

    Having started using iTunes on a new Vista PC, I've found that it defaults back to Windows Media as the default audio file player every time the machine is rebooted.
    But worse than that, I cannot find any option to make iTunes the default player for MP3 files - under the Vista settings, the ONLY option offered is Windows Media: there is not even a box to tick for iTunes.
    Have others found this? Is there any way around this?
    (I thought that Microsoft was legally precluded from making these kind of enforced settings now???)

    Although I now seem to have successfully made iTunes the default player for audio files, iTunes has started putting up this message:
    "The iTunes Music Library file cannot be saved. You do not have enough access privileges for this operation."
    A quick scan of the forum shows this problem has come up quite a few times, but I'm far from clear if there is a definitive answer/solution. I am the administrator for the computer. It sounds worrying that the Library file is not being saved - should I be worried?

  • HT3775 How do I get QuickTime Player to read ogg audio files?

    How do I get QuickTime Player to read ogg audio files?

    For Quicktime player to play it, it needs to be converted
    to one of the formats listed here:

    Otherwise, you will need to use different player software.

  • "An error occurred while updating the default player for audio file types"

    Getting ready for a deployment of version 9.2 of iTunes for 1400+ users.
    Getting this error when a 'normal' user goes into Edit/Preferences of iTunes and makes no changes.
    "An error occurred while updating the default player for audio file types. you do not have enough access privileges for this operation."
    I've elevated privileges of the C:\program files\itunes directory for this user to Full Control however problem remains.
    Tried to modify the folder to remove 'read-only', as found this suggestion on here, but read-only keeps applying itself.
    User has full rights to the location of the media as specified under Advanced Tab. If I tick 'Set as default media player' and remove tick and then click OK I do not get the error. From what I've read it's affected older versions of iTunes also.
    Doe anyone have any other suggestions?
    Thanks in advance.

    I had a similar issue. Turned out that - somehow - one of the directories or files in my iTunes music folder had gotten set to read only. Fixing it was easy.
    Go to Edit/Preferences.
    Choose the Advanced tab
    in the General subtab select the contents of the box labeled "iTunes Music folder location"
    Click Start, choose Run
    Paste the location
    Press the button to move up one level
    Right-click the music folder, choose Properties
    If this is your problem, the read-only box will be a solid color or checked. Set it to empty and choose the default "apply to folder and all subfolders and files." This will set everything in there readable, which after I did so I stopped getting the error.

  • Upgraded to 10.3.1.55, now can't set iT as default player,"An error occurred when updating the default player for audio files types.  You do not have enough access privileges for this operation." How to fix?

    After I upgraded iTunes, iTunes doesn't recognize CD in the drive, apparently isn't the default player.  It won't let me set iTunes as the default player, I get the error message "An error occurred when updating the default player for audio files types."  I tried Whitesides' remedy (changing Read Only status in folder in Windows) but it didn't solve the problem.  Any suggestions?  Thanks.

    Oddly enough. I think I just solved it. It looks like, for some reason, my computer has about 8 different "iTunes music" folders, and I've been saving my music to the wrong one. Neat. Music now imports and plays as it should. Copying things over is going to be so fun tonight!

  • How to read an audio file from the disk and play it?

    Do you know who to read an audio file from the hard disk and play it. It's for an application and not an applet. I tried with the Applet.newAudioClip(URL url) thing, but I keep getting a MalformedURLException.
    And is there a way to get the path of the file you are using? Currently I'm doing this:
    File file = new file("randomname");
    string = file.getAbsolutePath();
    file.delete();
    I'm sure there's a better way. And this is not for an applet, just a normal app.

  • ITunes doesn't recognise iPod as the default player for audio files.

    A few weeks ago my husband completely re-installed our laptop, without properly looking at how to backup my iPod touch. Everything was lost and I have had to start again, however the system still comes up with this message each time I plug the iPod in:
    iTunes has detected this is not the default player for audio files. Would you like to go to the Default Program Control Panel to fix this.
    I go to the Control Panel, but have no idea what to do.
    Can anyone please help me?
    I have not upgraded to version (4.0)
    Thanks in advance.

    Hello Geordie81,
    And welcome to Apple Discussions!
    Are you sure it wasn't referring to making iTunes the default application for audio files as described in this Apple support document? Worth a shot anyways.

  • Where I can find bitrate info for audio file?

    I just upgrade to OS X 10.9.2 and I can't find bitrate informations for audio file in Finder's info window. Is there someone with the same problem?

    Here's an Automator Service that wil give you a pop-up:
    (Highlight the audio file, right click and select the service name)
    Open Automator, Select Service.
    The Service is:
    The Run Shell Script Action is:
    echo $(( $(mdls -raw -name kMDItemTotalBitRate "$1" ) /1000 ))  \(File: "${1##*/}"\)
    The AppleScript is:
    on run {input, parameters}
      display dialog "Total bit rate: " & input buttons {"OK"} default button 1
              return input
    end run

  • Make Acrobat the default reader for pdf-files.

    Since some time (probably after I installed Mavericks) pdf-files are by default opened
    in Preview. To open them in Adobe Acrobat, I can right-click the pdf-file, choose Acrobat,
    and indicate that Acrobat should be the default reader for pdf-files.
    This works, and after logout and login, it does still work.
    But after a reboot, Preview is again the default reader.
    Also, if in Finder I right-click a pdf-file, and via Get Info I configure Acrobat
    to be the default reader for the specific file and all other pdf-files (by clicking
    Change All), this only works for the current session. After a reboot Preview again is the
    default.
    How can I make Acrobat Reader the default reader for pdf-files, and make this setting
    permanent?
    Where is this setting saved?
    Regards,
    Kees.

    I finally solved this, but I still don't understand how.
    To begin with I have 2 hard-drives in my iMac. The OS is on the primary HD, and data are on the secondary drive. My Home directory too is on this secondary HD.
    To check whether the location of the Home directory might be the problem, I copied the Home directory to the primary HD, changed the path in my profile, and did a reboot.
    The next step was to configure Adobe Acrobat as the default reader for pdf-files. To my surprise,  after rebooting, Acrobat still was the default reader for pdf-files.
    So it looks as if this problem has something to do with the location of the Home directory.
    The original Home directory was still present on the secondary  HD,  So the next step was to change in my profile the path to the Home directory again (pointing again to the original Home directory on the second HD), do a reboot and delete the copy of the Home directory on the primary HD.
    So now the situation was back to as it was before: the Home directory on the second HD.
    To my surprise now Acrobat still was the default reader for pdf-files.
    And I could also change the default reader to Preview, and back to Acrobat, and this setting was saved across reboots.
    I'm curious to what solved this problem, and where the setting of the default pdf-reader, or more general, the default application for file types, is stored.
    So I hope that someone who reads this, can shed some light on this.

    Sorry, I don't understand this - you don't want Adobe [Reader] not to open when doing what?  On what operating system?

  • How can I read an audio file and brodcast it using NI RFSG?

    Hi everybody,
    I'm designing a wireless audio signal simulation system that will read an audio signal from a file and modulate the signal using NI 5671 RFSG, then broadcast it to be received at an NI 5660 RFSA. 
    All I need is some guidance from you guys. Some related examples would be of great help since I'm a new user of NI hardwares and software.
    Thanks in advance.

    Hi,
    I’m going to
    help here since Paul is out of the office, so far you have been able to use
    Paul’s example to generate a signal from a Wav File, right? I have a question:
    why did you combine some of the parts of the (fm-modulation) with the generate
    FM signal from WAV file if the example Paul attached is already modulating the
    signal?
    I have another question on the part
    that you are stuck when reading the file, do you want to play it back through
    your speakers or you just want to be able to see the array of samples? Have you
    seen the example “MT niRFSA Demodulate FM.vi”? And if so why it does not help? Here
    is another example for FM modulation: Sound File Frequency
    Modulated Generation using NI-567x I would like to let you know that all
    those examples Paul and I are giving you are located at our website most are
    free and you may find them yourself; if you have the necessary drivers and
    toolkits installed you should be good to go. “The examples
    available do not show what I'm searching for” What are you
    searching for? What type of analysis do you need to perform?
    Remember
    that in the RFSA part of your project what you are going to be receiving will
    be an array that contains all the points of your data not a WAV file. I will suggest trying to
    run both FM example the RFSG and RFSA with no modification for a better
    understanding of what is happening.
    I hope it helps

  • Overview for audio files not showing up in project.

    I just got a new mac, transferred everything over, and everything is working great except...
    I have lost the overviews of all of my wav files for one song.
    please help ^_^

    "Does it display overviews of newly added audio files in the arrange?"
    no it does not
    "If not you would have to export tracks to audio files and import them into a new project file."
    that would stink...
    any other ideas, i really don't want to have to export all of those tracks, and then add the 40 or so plugins back in
    also, bouncing over and over can create problems, so i prefer to only bounce once (final)
