Types of audio formats

I wish to have some audio over a photo. What types of audio files/formats will iMovie take?
Thanks -

Hi
I convert all to .aiff 16-bit 44.1kHz (Audio-CD) or 48kHz (as from miniDV tape Cameras)
• Never .mp3 (or other alient format as .wma etc)
• Not directly from iTunes as it will add a DRM-copy protection - resulting in (if made) a silent DVD.
(By copying out from iTunes as an Audio-CD (.aiff) and using the files on this in the movie project it will play well)
Yours Bengt W

Compatible audio formats

is the iPod Nano compatible with MPG audio formats and if not is there a way to convert MPGs to WMAs? Also on my computer under the Type coloum in the My Music folder all it says is MP3 file it does not say weither if its MPG/etc., but at the bottom of the file it will distinguish between MP3 format and WMA fromats. please send my and info u have regarding this. thank you

iPod can play songs encoded with these codecs:
MP3 (from 32 Kbps to 320 Kbps)
MP3 Variable Bit Rate (VBR)
AIFF *
WAV (with no compression)
The following require iPod software 1.3 or later:
M4A AAC *
M4P AAC (Protected) *
M4B AAC (iTunes Music Store Spoken Word files) *
The following require iPod software 2.2 or later or iPod mini 1.1 or later:
Apple Lossless Encoder
* Requires iTunes 4 or iTunes 4 for Windows. AAC files also require the most recent update to the iPod software.
Compatible sample rates
iPod can play songs with the these sample rates, and with all compatible codecs:
8 kHz
11.025 kHz
16 kHz
22.050 kHz
32 kHz
44.1 kHz

The record has stopped because the audio format has changed

I am using a JVC 9500E onto an XP pro machine with CS3 nothing else large empty hard drive. Firewire.
Bringing a recording which was taken in one go with no changes - at 48Khz. PAL nothing odd - just continually opauses every 5-360 seconds with the error
The record has stopped because the audio format has changed.
using TAPe and Scene detect.
anyone got any ideas?

I know this is way too late and not really an answer, but I've had the same kinds of problems with PP2's capture function on 3 different decks on 2 different motherboards and 4 different OSes.
My work involves capturing and repairing problematic and old or damaged tapes of all kinds. I understand that there will be some errors (tape stretch, breakage, etc) that can't be handled by the deck/camera hardware directly, and I have no problems with having to manually cue past such issues.
But for otherwise fine and undamaged tapes, for PP2 to suddenly cease capturing, prompting to save less than 2 seconds' worth of video when all that happened was some minor tape noise or an audio frame missing is unhelpful at best and crippling otherwise. It's got to the point that PP2 is completely useless to me, when only the most pristine tapes with the most minimal of problems can be reliably captured.
Since I've used the same hardware (cables, decks) to capture 1200+ hours of "through" footage (i.e. not MiniDV tape playback) without major problems, on the current system alone, that would seem to indicate that the system/cable/deck hardware is fine, it's the problem frame handling that's broken. When 3 different deck/camera manufacturers all react to the same tape problems in the exact same way (at least, for the few common tapes that I've had the ability to test on all 3 decks, all else being equal), that doesn't seem to me to indicate a manufacturer or model problem at all.
However, Adobe's support response in each case (audio drops or minor tape dropouts) is "get the camera repaired by an authorised repairer". (It would seem that I'm an example of a particularly unlucky customer, buying 3 brand-new top-of-the-line 'duds' from 3 different manufacturers in as many years! What are the odds? I should buy a Lotto ticket...) That kind of support response is a real pity, since using the basic transport functionality outside PP2 seems to work perfectly for all but the most severe tape problems, but only using anything except PP2.
To try to tell me that this is a deck hardware failure each time I've raised the same type of problem is disingenuous at best. But that's another story.
The workaround (and yes, there is one!) is to use anything else except Premiere Pro 2.0 for any MiniDV capture operation. It's much easier to use VLC or Nero to perform flawed tape capture, and then use the otherwise sensational editing prowess of PP2 to fix the problems later.
Pity.

Where i could get know each order types's internal format

Dear expert,
Whcih table or from where could i get to know the internal format for each sales doc type...
For example:
KM equals to CQ
TA equals to OR..
Etc...
For my Z customrized order type, does there also have one internal format order type??
Because we are using LSMW to upload open Sales orders....The order type has to be indicated as internal format...
Thank you very much.

dear hoo laa,
let me divide you question into three parts:
1.A.this is to inform you that there is no different formats for each sales document type.
one single format for all but here basing on the control features of that particular sales document types proto types are different.
Eg: base model is one and the same. like bajaj 110cc, 125cc, 150cc, 180cc, 200cc, 220cc. here we are having only one blue print for all models but proto types are different.
2.
For my Z customrized order type, does there also have one internal format order type??
2.A. the sales order which you have copied from.
3.Because we are using LSMW to upload open Sales orders....The order type has to be indicated as internal format...
3.A. it depends on your requriment how the sales orders are uploaded because you know which field to consider and which field not to consider while uploading.
hope this is help ful for solving your issue.
regards,
balajia

What is the next step after editing or triming a video ? What type of file format to save and what to do after that ?

what is the next step after editing or triming a video?
what type of file format should be save and what to do after that?

In the early days of digital video editing, an export render could take hours! Not many applications are as hard on system resources as video editing, and rendering the final edit is probably the most system intense action of all.
Head on over to the Premiere Pro Hardware forum to see what sort of computer hardware the pros use for NLE (non linear editing), or to the PPBM5 site for a better look.

Finder media encoder, how can I add audio formats support?

I've noticed the feature where if you right click on a media file, you get an option in the popup menu to encode the file to some Apple-friendly format, I suppose.
I am trying to find a way to enhance this program's support for audio formats. I have tons of music in FLAC and a little bit in other formats like OGG and -gosh- wma, and I'd rather convert them with a native, Apple-written app than with anything else.
Any clues as to how we can enhance this Encoder feature's support for audio formats?

Many video and audio files can be added to keynote slides using the Insert Media browser - the sounds and videos need to be in a format recognized by iPad and need to be placed in the browser via iPhoto then synched to the iPad using iTunes. Sound files can be created using Garageband or Quicktime and appear as movies in the browser so it is best to place them in a separate album with descriptive names.
If you would like Apple to add additional features, give them somme feedback:

Macbook Pro's Mini Toslink Output LPCM 2ch Audio format?

Hi, I have a Sony Amplifier that accept optical input, but it only accept "LPCM 2ch audio format", so does Macbook Pro output this format?

What audio format encoded into iTunes HD Movies and TV shows?

What audio format encoded into iTunes HD Movies and TV shows, AC3, 5.1 DolbyDigital? Its been a long long while since I rented an HD movie on ATV since netflix came around with streaming and BD. Now they have rentals and purchases. Anyone know if the purchases play with 5.1 or better audio?

I think if you pull up the movie in the iTunes store it should tell you. For example, I pulled up the Star Trek movie that came out a few months ago, and it reports "Dolby Digital 5.1 surround sound". Clearly you need to make sure that your hardware supports whatever sound configuration the movie employs.

What's the highest quality audio format to import CD?

I've a 40 GB iPod. the system default to AAC. But i'm planning to buy a Shure e4c ear-plug and want to make sure i've the best quality audio format recording in the ipod.
could someone tell me what audio format yields the best audio quality to import CD? i'm only used less than 20GB of the ipod.
so i don't mind using the best audio format which may take the most space.

Simple answer: Apple Lossless. You will hear the song at the same audio quality level as on the CD--at about half the size.

Some advice on audio formats and converting tracks

_*Some thoughts about audio formats and conversions. These are all supported by iTunes unless stated otherwise.*_
General principles : there is no point in converting an already compressed track into a higher bit rate - it may seem as if this would give an improved quality, but once information has been lost through compression, there is no recovering it. The sound MAY be improved subjectively through the use of an appropriate EQ setting.
This is not a definitive list : other formats, for example the one used by Real Player, and the ATRAC minidisc codec used by Sony, are not listed : many of the following can be used in iTunes, or are reasonably well-known.
To use one of the available formats, they should be set in the Importing tag in *iTunes Preferences* (Advanced prior to iTunes 8, now in General). Once set, the format is used for importing CDs, but can also be used to convert tracks already in iTunes (using the Advanced menu : +Convert Selection to xxx+ ). It is not used when dropping files onto iTunes, or using Add To Library.
1. _Lossless formats_
Certain high-quality audio formats are "Lossless". This means that if the track is re-converted into the same format (after editing, for example), it will not degrade no matter how many times that is done.
.AIFF - a format (common in Macs) representing full CD quality. Bit-rates are over 1400 kbps; +1 minute of music is approx 10MB.+
.WAV - more or less the same as .AIFF but a Windows format.
*Apple Lossless* - a 'once-only compression', applied to .AIFF or .WAV tracks to retain quality but reduce file sizes. A little (totally inaudible) information is lost, but also a more efficient 'codec' (compression algorithm) is involved. +1 minute = approx 5MB.+
.FLAC - similar to Apple Lossless, but less proprietary (a more open standard). Not supported by iTunes.
2. _'Lossy' formats_
These formats are so-called because each time the conversion is done, the track is re-compressed, and more information is lost even if the file size remains the same. Various quality settings can be chosen, from around 320 kbps (high) down to below 128 kbps, though 128 is reckoned to be the lowest acceptable bit rate to listen to music in stereo.
In general, the higher the input quality, the higher the output quality when 'stepping down'. Therefore an .AIFF track converted directly to 128kbps 'lossy' will sound better than a 256kbps track re-compressed to the same 128kbps.
.MP3 - a standard audio compression format that has been around for many years. Common everywhere, and supported by virtually all contemporary music players. The codec has been improved so that modern MP3s sound markedly better than earlier versions. +1 minute @ 128 kbps = approx 1MB.+
.AAC - a superior codec to MP3 (though the quality gap has narrowed), which has been chosen by Apple as the iTunes format of choice. Nowadays, a track at 128 kbps .AAC will sound around the same quality as the same track at 160 kbps MP3. +1 minute @ 128 kbps = approx 1MB.+
.WMA - Windows' own proprietary lossy codec. It seems to have a bright and sparkly sound compared to MP3, but lacks a decent 'bottom end', i.e. the bass tones are somewhat lacking. Not supported by iTunes. (Can be played using VLC).
.OGG - the open standard Ogg Vorbis format, often held to be superior to MP3 but little-used and therefore not supported in many platforms and players, including iTunes.
When considering which format to use, the most important things to remember are
1. how will these tracks be played back? (on a hi-fi? an iPod? expensive earphones?)
2. the quality will depend finally on the judgement of the listener (some ears are better at telling small differences in quality than others)
3. how much space is available to store (and expand) the music library?
As for quality, a good way to decide is to "audition" different formats. Using one CD track known to you, try importing it at several different formats and bit rates (using iTunes Preferences). Then just play them, see which sounds best to you. In this way I came to decide for myself that AAC @ 256kbps was the best for me +(1 minute = approx 2MB).+

The Windows version of iTunes supports importing of WMA files, converting them to one of the other formats. Mac iTunes offers now support of WMA files at all.
Good point - and if I knew more about iTunes on Windows I would amend that and post a different version of the article in their forum.
I accept the point about .WAV files being used also for compressed formats but didn't want to make it too complicated; the most common use for .WAV I believe, is full quality audio.
On the subject of Lossless compressed audio (FLAC and AL), Wikipedia has this :
_*Difficulties in lossless compression of audio data*_
+It is difficult to maintain all the data in an audio stream and achieve substantial compression.+ +First, the vast majority of sound recordings are highly complex, recorded from the real world. As one of the key methods of compression is to find patterns and repetition, more chaotic data such as audio doesn't compress well. In a similar manner, photographs compress less efficiently with lossless methods than simpler computer-generated images do. But interestingly, even computer generated sounds can contain very complicated waveforms that present a challenge to many compression algorithms. This is due to the nature of audio waveforms, which are generally difficult to simplify without a (necessarily lossy) conversion to frequency information, as performed by the human ear.+
+The second reason is that values of audio samples change very quickly, so generic data compression algorithms don't work well for audio, and strings of consecutive bytes don't generally appear very often. However, convolution with the filter [-1 1] (that is, taking the first difference) tends to slightly whiten (decorrelate, make flat) the spectrum, thereby allowing traditional lossless compression at the encoder to do its job; integration at the decoder restores the original signal.+
+Codecs such as FLAC, Shorten and TTA use linear prediction to estimate the spectrum of the signal. At the encoder, the estimator's inverse is used to whiten the signal by removing spectral peaks while the estimator is used to reconstruct the original signal at the decoder.+
This seems to imply that even Lossless codecs make changes, but it IS a very complex subject. If I could still edit the main article I would remove that bit about AL losing information.

Best audio format for recording speech?

Hello everybody,
I was wondering which audio format (encoding, sample rate, sample size) is considered best for recording speech in regard of memory usage and perceptible/acceptable quality loss.
What do you suggest, what are your experiences, what reasons can you state?
Thanks!

I finally found something:
[sample rate for speech|http://wiki.audacityteam.org/index.php?title=Sample_Rates#32_kHz_.2F_14.5_kHz]
[bit depth|http://wiki.audacityteam.org/wiki/Bit_Depth#16_Bit]
I know audacity is not an application based on the java sound api but these wiki articles provide good common information on signal processing.
According to the article I believe 32kHz ist the optimal sample rate for recording speech. But I still don't feel satisfied by the information given about the bit depth. I think 8 bit is too low but 16 bit (CD quality) might be too sumptuous. Unfortunately the quality I can record with is limited my recording and output hardware so it might become hard for me to top that out. Maybe someone can help.
Is it true, that the encoding can be customized with codecs by extending the audio service provider? How would something like that work?

What is the audio format and bitrate for the MixRa...

Regarding the MixRadio+ "high quality":
What is the audio format (AAC/MP3/WMA/etc.) ?
What is the bitrate (192/256/320kbps etc.) ?
Thanks

That is what happens when you change the size of an image.
The best format for a logo is vector. Then you can change its size, rotation, etc without any distortion or pixelation.
If you are unable to go with a vector graphic, try to use several images of varying sizes and switch between them as needed to recreate the tween, or, try a PNG and hope the pixelation isn't too bad.
