Using iTunes vs. FCP to convert audio to 48 kHz AIFF?

Are there any real benefits of using one program over the other to do this?
Thanks.

iTunes has a menu option to do this...select the clip, convert. FCP doesn't. You'll have to load the clip into the viewer, FILE>EXPORT>QUicktime COnversion, then do a lot of sub menu maneuvering.
iTunes is faster, and is a good way to keep things organized.

  • Using iTunes/Airplay for streaming live audio/video on local network?

    I'm wondering if I can use iTunes to stream live audio and/or video to other computers, Airport Express, or Apple TVs on a local wifi network. I'm willing to jailbreak or hack anything if necessary.
    So this is what I am hoping to do:
    Camera-->Streaming Computer-->Airplay-->Local Wi-fi network-->Devices recieving audio/video

    This device should be doing UPnP by default so you will not need most of the info on this page.
    What the Link does have is the default access info and pictures.
    In the Wan page turn Off the DOS or SPI firewall. (it will have one or the other)
    Check in the Box to Disable.
    Save Settings.
    If this device is behind a Cable modem then also Allow it to Respond to Internet Pings on the same page.
    (this a Check the Box to Do)
    Save settings (Again if you did them above)

  • If I copy a CD (either music or audio) on my Windows based Pc can I access the copy using itunes?

    If i copy a Cd (either music or audio) on my Windows based PC can I access the copy using itunes.  I have a ipod Nano, 7th generation.

    You should use iTunes to "rip" (encode) the songs directly into your iTunes library from the CDs.  This article provides a good description of how that is done using iTunes.
    http://www.macworld.com/article/1156861/howto_rip_cds.html
    If you use some other program to encode the content on those CDs, you can add any audio files that are in a format that iTunes can play (such as MP3 and AAC) to your iTunes library.  "Windows Media" files are not playable by iTunes, but the Windows version of iTunes can convert them while importing (as long as the files do not use DRM).

  • Converting home video using iTunes

    I have a new iPod with video 3rd generation. Everything works great with all video I purchase through iTunes (I'm using the latest version for XP). However, when I try to convert a home video file (in the correct format) to play on the iPod, only the audio plays... the video portion is white. For example, I take a video clip (.avi format) and convert to .mpeg4 or .mov or other acceptable video format and import it into iTunes. The video plays back great in iTunes. I then 'convert' so I can install on the iPod, and the video turns white and only the sound comes through. Any thoughts? Thanks.

    No offence taken!!! As you sent your response I finally got success! I am not sure what the problem was.... I seemed to have a dll clash, but not sure if that caused any issues. Anyway, re-downloaded and installed and all seems to be fine now. Thanks so much for your help and perseverance! I shall now continue to convert my videos.

    The normal situation would be wanting to convert .m4a (AAC or Apple Lossless) to .mp3 as these are both music file formats. The extension .mp4 is normally for a video file and iTunes itself will only convert music files from one format to another.
    For details on how to convert between music formats see http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1550
    If you want to convert the audio track of an .mp4 video to a .mp3 file then you are going to need to use a different utility.

  • Converting audio using QT 10

    Hi
    How do I convert audio files in QT 10. It was possible in older versions using the export command but that function has gone in this version. Im trying to convert a WAV to AIFF.
    Many Thanks
    Adrian

    Quicktime X can't do this.... You need to install Quicktime 7 from your Leopard installation disk, here's how:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3678
    And then you need to buy (if you don't already have) the Pro key from Apple's online store:
    http://store.apple.com/us/product/D3380Z/A?fnode=NDQ4OTY4OA&mco=MTM3NDgwNTg
    You can convert the audio file from a WAV to AIFF in iTunes for free.

  • Converting audio files in iTunes to play on iPad 4

    I used iTunes 11.1.1 to convert a MPEG file to an AAC file.  After the conversion, in iTunes the file kind shows "AAC audio file".  The actual file extension shows .m4a when I look at it in Finder.  It still will NOT sync with my iPad 4 ... why?  What am I doing wrong?

    Don't buy software peddled by spammers in support forums.
    It's usually garbage.
    M4a is a valid file type for AAC audio.
    What happens when you try to sync it?

  • Capturing Audio using iTunes

    Greetings! Is it possible to capture audio from an external source using iTunes for Windows? I have some old cassettes I'd like to transfer to CDs. I can connect my tape deck to the microphone jack on my PC, but can't get the audio saved on there. If a 3rd party software is necessary, can iTunes do the job? I can't find a way to do it using the usual MS programs (MovieMaker, Media Center, Media Player 11).
    Thanks,
    Jay

    Here's what i do.
    download audacity, a freeware audio recording tool.
    it records things to WAV files.
    you can set input to line or mic (or wave out mixer out if you have a soundcard).
    start recording.
    play yr source (cassette)
    stop recording. then you can edit the sound with audacity it has lots of utilities.
    export file (saves it as a .wav)
    go to itunes and import it and then convert it to the format of yr choice.
    if you have asoundcard the mixer/wave out actually lets you record streaming audio too.

  • Can I use iTunes to convert m4a to mp3 for use on my car stereo

    I would like to burn a playlist to a CD for playing on my car stereo.  If I use the default audio option, the CD sounds terrible, so I guess I need to select the mp3 option instead.  When I do that, however, I'm told that my files are in m4a format and need to be in mp3 format instead.  Can I use iTunes to convert m4a files to mp3, and if so, how? I wish to retain the songs in my iTunes so I suspect I need to make copies of the original and convert the copies, but I don't know how to do this either.

  • Porblem with mpeg format even converted using itunes

    hi
    I bought a new ipod of 80 gb but when i try to add the video files to it and convert it using itunes as convert for ipod/iphone it was playing video but the audio was not playing.
    Could any please help me in this

    Quicktime or Quicktime Pro (both of which iTunes uses) does not convert "muxed" ( muxed means multiplexed where the audio and video are stored on the same track) video files properly. It only plays the video and not the audio.
    See:iPod plays video but not audio.
    You need a 3rd party converter to convert the file with both audio and video.
    See this for help: Guide to converting video for iPod (Mac/Windows).

  • Stream audio from Mac to airport without using iTunes?

    Hi,
    I want to know if I can stream my audio output to an airport express that's connected to my speakers without necessarily using iTunes. As an example, when watching a movie on Netflix on my MacBook Pro. The movie playback is through Safari, not iTunes so is there a way to send that audio to the airport express?
    Another question: Would the new Apple TV do that too (of course not with Mac Netflix playback since it has Netflix support within it) with, for example, Sirius Media player running on my MacBook Pro?

    Wow! That was quick and so effective!! Thank you!
    I had never heard of that application. So now my question would be, can I do this with the new Apple TV instead of airport express??

  • Can I use Apple TV (version 3 with IOS 5.1) Airplay to simultaneously to stream audio to another Apple TV without using itunes on my PC?

    I have 2 Apple TV's version 3 with IOS 5.1 and would like them both to play the same music through Match simultaneousy but without having to use iTunes on my PC.
    It seems I can only select one of them at a time for audio output, is there a way to make them both play at the same time?

    My main concerns are:
    -If I use iTunes on my main computer, will it then be available to Apple TV?
    -If I use Apple TV to download will it be available to my Main computer?
    -Can the Apple TV use a media server for storage over LAN (using NTFS Samab or otherwise)?
    Basically iTunes feeds AppleTv with media either syncing (copying to it) or streaming live.
    Media must be compatible with AppleTV.
    AppleTV requires a proper iTunes instance running - it cannot access a NAS directly.
    If you store media in a folder on a NAS and it's part of the computer iTunes library (just stored on the NAS vs internal/external drive), then when running iTunes makes this content available to AppleTV.
    Data will travel:
    NAS > network > iTunes > network to AppleTV
    As the path is potentially slower than internal/external attached drive > iTunes > network > AppleTV, it may or may not work robustly for streaming.
    If AppleTv is set to sync (it can also stream in this mode), when you purchase direct on AppleTV, the media should sync back to where the itunes library is stored (via iTunes) to keep things in sync and to allow you to backup the media.
    You cannot drag/drop media to/from AppleTv across the network, nor can it directly access storage itself - iTunes is an essential cog in the wheel.
    The majority of commercial 'in-built iTunes media servers' will not work directly with AppleTV as it has to be 'paired' with iTunes by entering a numerical code in iTunes and does not simply see 'shared libraries'.
