Tracks cutting short on iPod after replacing with higher quality files?

I've been replacing old mp3 by deleting them from the hd then "re-finding" the newer higher quality versions in iTunes.
Problem is all these new files always cut short in my iPod, it's been driving me mad, I thought the solution would be to erase the pod completely then replace all the files, I did this (twice) and it still happens, I even filled my pod with completely different mp3s just so I knew the files were definitely getting wiped but still the tracks I replaced cut short when I put them back on the pod.
I really hope the only solution isn't to delete the files from iTunes then re-import them, I've been trying to avoid this as my library is a few years old now with a bunch of meta-data (play counts, ratings etc) that will be lost if I do this, there must be some other way, seems a bit silly, I'd really like to know why it's happening.
This only happens on my vid pod not my shuffle btw.
any suggestions?

Ok thanks, I downloaded vbrfix but I'm not quite sure how it works (though I replaced the line of code for Mac as outlined) is there something I have to do to get it operational?
It looks like it's a problem with the iTunes metadata fooling the iPod into thinking the vbr file should end earlier then it does, maybe because cbr data was there originally and hasn't been replaced with vbr data, though it's strange this only manifests itself on the vid pod.
Would I really need to re-rip my cds? problem is I wanted to use the LAME encoder which can't be done very satisfactorily from with iTunes, it looks like maybe this vbrfix could just alter the metadata in the files themselves to make them more iPod friendly?

You might try a "hard reset" where you remove battery and AC charger, hold down power button 20-30 seconds and then reassemble and turn on. Reset BIOS (F10) to default settings, too.

Hi,
Does this happen to all 97-2003 Word files?
Word 2013 now has lots of updates compared with earlier version of Word, lots of features have been updated. Use Word 2013 to open documents created in earlier versions of Word (Word 97-2003 format), you will probably encounter unexpected problems,
expecially for those heavily formatted files.
We would suggest you to convert your document to the Word 2013 file format, then you will be able to access the new and enhanced features in Word 2013.

Slideshow with high quality

I have a Photography Studio and I am trying to create client slideshows that display in very high quality. If I view the slideshow as created on iPhoto, the output is fantastic. If I burn a disc with iDVD (even on "Best Quality") the images as viewed from the DVD are not great. They become a little jaggy and some color shifting is evident. Not horrible, just not professional looking. My files are high quality .psd files. I have tried the process with high quality .jpg files, too.
Is the answer a PRO level DVD compression product? Voodoo????
I am at my wits end, but it was a short trip to get there.
Thanks for any and all help,
Louie

Hi,
I understand you want to create a DVD, right? Before you know how to get the best quality, you must choose what software to use . You can build slideshows using just DVD Studio Pro (DVDSP Folrum) and/or in a video timeline with FinalCutPro (FCP Forum).
Each soft need a different approach ! You'll find a lot of posts with useful information in that forums and you can post your own when you decide what tool use for your project.
If you want to build simple slideshows with just a transition or no transition at all, where the people can choose next prev and so picture, you can use DVDSP.
If you want a more sofisticated presentation where you can control completly adnvanced trasitions and zoom/pan effects, you need to create it in a video application like FCP.
You posted this question in Compressor forum, what is a tool for transcoding your video footage to, i.e. MPEG2 files to include in DVDSP.
About quality, think that Standard Definition DVDs have a resolution of 720x480 pixels (NTSC) what probably is absolutly low resolution compared with your original pictures, but doesn't mean your pictures will look bad. Any comercial movie DVD you watch has that resolution ! The advantage is that every DVD player (computer and stan alone ones) will be able to play it.
When you mention the iPhoto slideshow, I think you mean a slideshow you played directly from your computer what is a completly different approach that DVD.
I just want to give a start point.

Ventrilo Mic Hiss with high quality Mic and X-Fi Titanium PCI-E

?Ventrilo Mic Hiss with high quality Mic and X-Fi Titanium PCI-E? I have <a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.astrogaming.com/products/detail/4/A40-Headset/]this headset.[/url]? It works perfectly on other setups and is a very high quality headset.
Recently, I installed the X-fi Titanium PCI-E card. Everything sounds great and my mic works well in other programs and games, however, when talkin in ventrilo there is?a noticeable high pitch?microphone hiss. The hiss goes away when I put my fist around the mic, but I can't exactly talk like that. Plus putting foam around the mic doesn't make it go away.
The headset works fine on other setups so it is not at fault. It's almost like there is a mic boost on, but there doesn't seem to be a mic boost feature in the Creative Console.
Windows 7 Home Premium 64-Bit
Intel Core I7 920 @ 3.4ghz
6GB RAM
4870x2 GPU
Asus P6T Deluxe MOBO
Creative Sound Blast X-Fi Titanium PCI-E
Any ideas. I've tried everything. I used to exact same ventrilo settings on another computer and have had no problems, so it is not ventrilo and is not the mic. It has to be something wrong with the sound card.
Thanks

Turned my T.V. off and the hiss went away.
Must have been some sort of interference.

Tracks ripped in iTunes with default settings cut short on iPods

I have a WIndows PC running XP (which I keep up to date).
I rip CDs I have bought using iTunes with default settings (so creating AAC files). My iPod library is held on a networked storage device.
All tracks play fine in iTunes.
Quite frequently, when I sync the ripped CD to an iPod, one or more tracks will cut short when played on the iPod, usually near the beginning (they generally play for less than 30 seconds).
The tracks always cut off at the same point.
The problem occurs consistently across 3 separate iPods (i.s. same tracks, same point).
I have tried resetting iPods, removing artwork as suggested by some threads etc.
The only way I have found to resolve the problem is to re-rip the CD (or at least the faulty tracks). Usually this fixes it, although sometimes I have had to re-rip more than once.
I have not found similar problem reports (those I have found tend to be people ripping to MP3 format), which seems strange if this is an iTunes bug.
It has occurred to me this might be an issue with the data being written to the storage device which is connected via ether to router.
Any thoughts?

You're welcome. Glad it worked out.

After "Replace with clip" the original clip can not be deleted from the project - why?

After using "replace with clip" to replace clip A in the timeline with a new clip B , clip A can not be deleted from the project anymore.
If you try to delete clip A, you get a warning, that it still has references in one or more sequences.
If you continue and delete clip A, it seems to be deleted - at first!
Unfortunately if you save and reopen the project, clip A is restored to folder "Recovered clips".
It's not possible to really delete it.
I also did not find a way to unlink clip B from A .
The only thing you can do, is to revert the change by "Restore Unrendered" in the clip context menu. But that's obviously not helping
I dont know if this is a bug or a feature. I understand, that it can be useful to undo the "replace clip" function, but why would anyone not want to be able to delete the original clip at all?
help how to fix this problem is greatly appreciated!
I use Premiere Pro CC 2014.2 (Win7 64bit)

I'm sure it has nothing to to with other sequences.
You can easily reproduce this behaviour:
1. create a new project
2. import 2 clips and name them "A" and "B"
3. put "A" in the timeline
4. ALT-drag "B" over "A" in the timeline (or right-click "A" in the timeline while selecting "B" in the project files and select "replace with clip ... from bin")
5. delete "A" from the project files
6. save and close project
7. reopen project
=> "A" reappears in "Recovered clips" and can not be deleted.

Office Jet 8600 Pro gives repeated message of depleted ink after replacement with new ones

My OfficeJet 8600 Pro (n911a?) gives a repeated message of depleted ink levels (Cyan and Yellow) even after I have replaced them with genuine HP 951 ink cartridges. I am certain that I have installed them correctly (I have done this in the past with no problems) and I have turned the machine off and on again several times. I have checked firmware and software updates and it appears that everything is up to date. Any other thoughts?
Thanks.

Restore from Time machine on new 13" Macbook Pro 2.8 i7 after replacing with OWC SSD

I have new 13" Macbook pro with Apple 256SSD. I am replacing with OWC 480GB 6GB SSD because out of space. When I bought machine I used time machine to restore from backup of other macbook pro. I simply held a key on keyboard at startup (dont remember key?) and it appeard to boot from the cloud to a screen where i selected time machine. Will it work the same this time or because I am replacing hard drive i have to create the USB key thing to restore from time machine? ie does apple have the restore from cloud capability only from their own drives?

You should consider restoring or migrating first only data that you absolutely need and want on the SSD. Then restore selectively.
On the latter, and in general on the topic Time Machine, here is good advice.

What Is The Best Way To Connect Ipod To Stereo Reciever With High Quality?

I recently purchased an 80 gig and am a newbie. I ripped all my music at around 280kbps to retain good audio quality when playing in my car and home theatre system. There are tons of accesories out there (docks, jacks, etc) which is the highest quality to connect my Yamaha receiver. I would think a connection to the bottom of my ipod would be of a higher quality rather than using the headphone jack. Any suggestions would be great. I was thinking about using the monster itv link but mostly for audio. thanks

OK - So now that you have all completely ignored the original question - in hopes of proving your manly-hood....
Does anyone have an answer to the original question....
"What is the best way to connect to a high end home stereo to retain the best sound?"
For sure any connection going through the headphone jack will be a big step back - enough so that you would easily hear a sound quality loss in doing so.
For the few of you who would like to argue/bicker/rant on the nominal sound quality loss....keep on doing so, but for those who actually have some respectable advice we would love to hear it.
For the record, I tend to hear just outside the normal human auditory range...
To help myself put it to rest already... a few years back I decided to conduct my own little listening test.
I took 6 different common ripping modalities (from lossless - to - 128kbps in both MP3 & AAC.... then transfered all of them in order to a blank. Used the same song for each - the song chosen opened with a few clean crisp bars of high freq. music, followed by an instant explosion/drop into a tight & low bassline.
The final cutoff that was achieved before I was unable to detect an audible difference was 198 VBR AAC. Having convinced myself that there was the ever sooooooo slight difference b/t 198 & 256, I went with my current ripping status of 256.... Just incase my audible range should become finally honed with age (yeah, like that is really going to happen) !
This test was run over a Yamaha DSP receiver, running at a constant 110w per channel (w/a max of 220w). The speaker setup was a full surround set of Klipsch Reference Series..... each speaker housing 2 x 6.5 woofer (each housing 2 x 1" Titanium tweeters) And sitting along side the 5 surrounds was/is a 150w continuous 12in. Subwoofer.
Now I am hardly stating that I have hearing as good as some of you extremely technically profound music enthusiasts out there, but for the majority of people making comments about sound quality, and lack there of - when played over a $120/40w Audiovox radio.... I'm sorry, but I would have to side on that of......"Hogwash, that you can hear a difference!"
So.... if possible would someone please offer some advice on a dock or cable connection that will allow us to enjoy the music we ripped at whatever
so-called range we did!
For those interested in seeing who could hit the further bullseye with their eyes closed, You win!!! Now can you help us?

High-quality files on PC and smaller files on iPod

I want to maintain CD quality files on my PC and have lower quality files on my iPod and my girlfriends iPod nano in order to be able to carry around more music, etc.
I would like to continue using iTunes as we are already both familiar with its layout; however, I know that iTunes will not automatically copy smaller files than are on the computer to an iPod. But, I was hoping that someone had deviced a method of accomodating this even if it means duplicating all of my files (a set each of high and low quality) on my PC.
I have been struggling with this for several weeks on my own. I would even consider switching from iTunes if I could still easily synch with the iPods.
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
Peace
Windows XP

hiya!
however, I know that iTunes will not automatically copy smaller files than are on the computer to an iPod.
you can do this if you set up some smart playlists.
How to create a Smart Playlist with iTunes
suppose you were to choose AAC as your compressed format. then create a smart playlist with the following rule:
Kind contains AAC audio file
if your ipod had a high enough capacity, you could then simply head into your itunes "ipod" preference tab, select "automatically sync selected playlists only" and select the smart playlist containing only the AACs. so you'll end up with just the AAC versions of your music files showing up on the ipod.
if you already have the large, uncompressed versions of your songs in the library, you can use the "Convert" function to create the extra AAC copies of the songs:
iTunes: How to convert a song to a different file format
(you can do this in bulk. just select all the songs you want to convert, and itunes will steadily work through converting each one you have selected.)
you can use a similar smart playlist technique to create a smart playlist that contains the uncompressed high-quality versions of the tracks. you can use that playlist to navigate through the uncompressed versions, for playing on the PC.

Your tip in Printing in Indesign--working with high quality images

Hi everyone,
I am very curious about what the other professionals' idea about printing and using Indesign to print.
I am working on a project that with high resolutions of model and product images together.
Since I had to move elements on the layout. Model and product images are in different layers in Indesign.
I used Indesign to combine those images together to create ads for magazine.
However, I was told that it would be "SAFER" to combine those images together FRIST in photoshop.
he thinks the process should be that:
---Having a flated image of model and products in photoshop first
----then bring that one image in Indesign.
----This way it would insure the color will be right.
What do you guys think?
The places I worked in the past, has not done stuff like that.
I feel like ...colors aren't something we could control when magazine uses their own printing vendor.
What is your process to ensure the color is right when priting a combination of different high resolution tiff files?
Thank you very much for your time and knowleage.
Lori

Assuming you have some sort of color management in place, I would continue to do it the way you are.
But let's say you did want to follow this fellow's advice. Here's everything I can think of.
Putting the models and products together on one Photoshop "page" can wind up making the PSD file very big as there may be spaces between the models and products.
Never, ever flatten that Photoshop file. There's no need and makes a very complicated workflow if you have to make any changes.
You're right about the magazine printing process taking over color.
What are you sending the magazine? A PDF? There's totally no need to flatten in Photoshop then.
The art is flattened in it's own way.
I'm also assuming that your prducts and models are close to each other

For ICD-BX132, How do I transfer an audio file to PC with high quality ?

when i transfer audio files from the recorder to pc .I find it transferd in poor quality. i need it in HQ quality.

If you are trying to play back MP3 files that have been transferred from the Integrated Chip (IC) recorder to the computer, if the audio skips, pauses or freezes during playback and if you are using third-party software, the software may not be compatible with the MP3 files. Try the following troubleshooting steps:
Try playing the MP3 audio files back on the IC recorder instead of the computer.
If the audio still skips, there may be an incorrect setting on the IC recorder. Refer to the operating instructions supplied with the product. Manuals are available online through the Manuals/Specs/Warrantylink on this page.
If the audio files play back with no issues on the IC recorder, then the IC recorder is not the problem and continue with the next troubleshooting step.
If you are using third-party software to play back the audio files, try using a different type, or brand, of third-party software that is compatible with MP3 files that are recorded in a universal format.
If the audio files play back with no issues using a different third-party software, then the problem was with your other third-party software.
If the problem persists once you have tried other third-party software, then the software is not the problem and continue with the next troubleshooting step.
Try using a different computer to play back the audio files.
If you complete all of the steps and the issue is not resolved, service may be required or you can get in touch with Sony Egypt Support here for further assistance.
