Wav/mp3 Converters

Are there any good, free programs which will convert other formats into wav or mp3 - preferably mp3?

AVI is video, WAV and MP3 are audio.
Perhaps if you explained exactly what you want to do, we can tell you if iTunes will do it.
If you want a Windows program to do something, you should go to an appropriate Windows forum (not this iTunes for Windows forum).

How do I enable all sound files wav,MP3 on windows 7 64-bit change system sounds

How do I enable all sound files wav,MP3 on windows 7 64-bit change system sounds it will only give me the option to choose wav?

Windows 7 uses .wav (wave) files for the sound events. The default folder that Windows 7 uses to store the sound files in is located at C:\Windows\Media.
You cannot use a MP3 file but there are lots of (WAV to MP3 converters) available on internet which can help you to convert MP3 to wav serving your purpose of changing system sound.

Error in Adobe Captivate 4: "unable to decode and import the selected wav - mp3 file"

Good day!
I have a problem. When i want to import music file from standart Gallery, i see the mistake: unable to decode and import the selected wav - mp3 file.
I can't import mp3,wav files...
In Adobe Help site i have found this: http://help.adobe.com/en_US/Captivate/4.0/Using/WS5b3ccc516d4fbf351e63e3d119e9582190-7fd8. html
But in my Adobe Captivate 4 directory i don't have file regsvr32 NSAudio.dll.
Question: where i can download this file?
Thanks!

Hi there
As I recall there were two different "fixes" for audio with Captivate 4. One involved replacing the dll and another had something to do with installation problems on Windows XP. So give the link below a try.

CD Audio and CD Digital controlled by Wave/MP3 sli

Using Platinum Li've! card with digital I/O daughter card. I have connected CD ROM (4 pin) cable to CD In on soundcard and DVD to CD SPDIF in on card (2 pin cable) but both devices are still controlled by the wave/mp3 slider on the surround sound mixer. I have downloaded latest drivers, too. I would like to control these devises by their corresponding mixer sliders (CD digital and CD audio). How can I do this?
Thanks!

JeffFun,
You may need to disable Digital CD extraction for your CDrom for this to work. This is done in device manager on the properties section for the CD. This should allow control of the levels directly.

Unable to decode and import wav/mp3 file

I've recorded an audio file using Mbox 2 and Pro Tools LE 7.
I have exported the file to the wav format, but when I try to
import it into my Captivate 2 file, I get the following error
message.
"Unable to decode and import the selected wav/mp3 file."
Any ideas why this is happening?
Thanks for the help.

Hi "Chemistry guy",
A WAV is not a WAV is not a WAV. There are many "types" of
WAV audio file. Check to be sure that your WAV file is in "
PCM" format. That should be easy with a good audio editor.
Matter of fact, it should be easy even with Windows included "Sound
Recorder" application.
To use your own audio editor, I imagine you know how to find
and change file properties.
On the other hand, if you want to use "Sound Recorder" ... on
WinXP go to "Start > All Programs > Accessories >
Entertainment > Sound Recorder", then open the file, then go to
"File > Save As" ... and
at the bottom of the save-as dialog, you will see "Format"
(describing current file formatting) and a button to "CHANGE" that
format. Click the button and you will see a drop-list containing
various formats.
Select "PCM" and
save the file.
Hopefully with this change made, you will be good to go.

Unable to decode and import the select wav/mp3 file

Hi,
I've been TRYING to test the Text-to-speech feature in
Captivate 4. Problem: "Unable to decode and import the select
wav/mp3 file" each and every time I want to use it. Frustrating!
I also tried importing sounds from the library, same problem.
My system is Vista Business 64Bit, 4Gb RAM, Intel SSD hard
drive, conexant high definition audio 221 on a Lenovo T400.
How do I fit this? I want to try it out damnt :)

I went through the "unable to decode and import the selected wav/mp3 file" error. After talking with an Adobe Rep, I quickly realized that I could NOT use the directions. I have no experience in using Command Prompts. I have written down the directions by key stroke for those people that are similar to me. Enjoy!
For Vista and Win7,
Click on the circle start menu,
In the search box, type in command and in the generated list, "right-click" on the comman link and change to "run as administrator".
Go back to the search box, type in command and hit enter. This will take you to the command prompt window (black window w/ white text) lol
You have to get to the right directory first.
Type: cd (space-bar) .. (hit enter)
Type: cd (space-bar) .. (hit enter)
If Captivate is installed on Program Files (x86) ---
Type: cd (space-bar) progra~2 (hit enter)
If Captivate is installed on Program Files
Type: cd (space-bar) progra~1 (hit enter)
Type: cd (space-bar) Adobe (hit enter)
Type: cd (space-bar) Adobe (space-bar) Captivate (space-bar) 4 (hit enter)
Type: regsvr32 (space-bar) NSAudio.dll (hit enter)
If you get an error at any point, re-key that particular line.
Once you see that the last line of command went through, open up Captivate and test the Text to Speech. These instructions fixed both computers I was working on!!!!

CP4 unable to decode and import the selected wav/mp3 file

I am trying to import a .wav file into a project and get an error message 'unable to decode and import the selected wav/mp3 file'.
I have tried the solution huan_miguel posted a week ago for someone with the same problem.
http://blogs.adobe.com/captivate/2009/03/adobe_captivate_4_installatio n.html
executed all the steps described in this link.
Unfortunately, the problem is still there.
Any other solution?

You're probably going to need to do both.
Although Captivate can certainly accept a 10 meg audio file, you would need to add it to the movie and then synchronise the slides to the audio. Chopping the audio file up and adding the relevant bits to each slide has both advantages and disadvantages. It's easier to control the playback synchronisation when you divide up the audio, but it's more work.
Take a look at this graphic from SoundBooth when I export an audio file recorded in Captivate 5:
Notice that it shows the bitrate of the Captivate WAV file as being 16 bit. This is quite a low bitrate. You can go as high as 32 bit in SoundBooth, however, in my experience, when you try to import a WAV into Captivate that is over 16 bit you will encounter issues. Cp just doesn't seem to like it.
If you want to learn more about bit rates in multimedia: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bit_rate
Suffice to say, you need to find out what the current bit rate of the audio file is, and if necessary, save it as 16 bit for Captivate. For this, you will require some kind of audio editing software.
You can try using Audacity as someone else suggested: http://audacity.sourceforge.net/ and try exporting the file out as 16 bit.
However, if you are going to be doing quite a bit of this type of work, I would suggest you invest in Adobe Soundbooth, or something of that ilk. You'll enjoy the experience more.

Unable to decode and import the selected wav/mp3 file

I am trying to import mp3's into a Captivate 3 presentation
but keep getting this error "Unable to decode and import the
selected wav/mp3 file." I am using the same mp3 files that I have
used many times with projects in Cap1 and Cap2. I have converted
the files to wav's and tried but I'm still getting the same
message. I have a deadline and I'm stumped.
Any ideas?

Hi DianaUNC
Interesting. I've seen it happen with WAV files but not MP3.
Do you still have Captivate 2 around? If so, do these successfully
import into Captivate 2? One thought was that you might pop them
into something like Audacity and save them out again. Perhaps
something is amiss with the encoding used.
Or you might try the trick of opening them in Windows Sound
Recorder and saving them out of that in a different format. I know
that works with one particular WAV file I have.
Cheers... Rick

Playing audio and video files in JSF (.wav,.mp3)

Hi,
I would like to know how to play audio and video files such as .wav,.mp3 in jsf .
could any one please post the code for playing the wav files.
Thanks,
Ram

There is no JSF component to do this, so you would have to write your own custom component to render an <object ...> element.
Or, you can use <f:verbatim> wrapped around an html <object ...> element.

Convert zvr to wav/mp3/ogg

hi!
i have a digital voice recorder which records to *.zvr-files. i installed gstreamer0.10-plugins to have all plugins available, but it doesn't seem that any gstreamer-plugin can handle this files.
is there a way to convert *.zvr files to wav, mp3, ogg or to another common audio-format?
i already tried the windows-software delivered with the voice recorder. the software works, it plays the zvr-files. but if i use it's function to convert zvr to wav it just creates a *.wav file of 480 bytes which doesn't work.
there's another conerter for windows: http://www.free-codecs.com/download/ZVR_Converter.htm
it produces the same useless, tiny *.wav files like the voice-recorder-software.
any ideas?
btw: it's a (philips voice tracer 7655)

There's several apps to convert WMA files, you might want to take a look at Switch.

Unable to decode and import the selected wav/mp3 file" error in Captivate 4

Good afternoon.
I have exported and edited the audio from a Captivate presentation in Soundbooth. After editing, I save the file as a .WAV. When I import the file to the slide, I recieve the error message listed above.
I have followed other threads in the forum and performed the following:
XP Pro (32 Bit - SP3)
E-Learning Suite
Captivate 4
Soundbooth CS4
Downloaded and installed new NSAudio.dll
Successfully registered NSAudio.dll
Have successfully ran the restoreCP4regentries.bat and the restoreRegPermCP4.bat
Rebooted the computer
Ran the program as an adminstrator (although it asked me to re-register the product -a little strange)
I still recieve the error when I try to import the WAV files. If I convert the files to MP3, they can be imported. At this time I'd prefer to not import them as MP3.
WAV format is uncompressed, 44, 32 floating bit (I also unsuccessfully tried other bits).
I've lost an entire afternoon of productivity to this.
Any thoughts on how to resolve this? It appears I have followed all the recommendations I have seen so far.

Hi there
I believe Captivate is a bit persnickety about the WAV format. You will likely need to adjust some setting with the WAV output. You might begin by trying the following and see if it resolves.
Begin with a backup copy of the audio clip
Open basic Windows Sound Recorder
Open the WAV file with the issues in Sound Recorder
Click File > Save As
Click the Change... button - make no changes and click OK (this should change to PCM format)
Try importing the WAV file after that and see what happens.
Personally, I'd be using the MP3 myself. Not sure why you are against it. After all, that's what will end up in your compiled result.
Cheers... Rick

How to convert .caf files to WAV, MP3, WMA etc

I use QuickVoice free app on my ipad2 to record memos. I’ve just found out how to convert the files and play them on my Windows computer. First I used this program call QuickVoice Sync to copy my recording on my computer, used this link:
www.nFinityInc.com/QuickVoiceSyncWin.exe - for Windows
www.nFinityInc.com/QuickVoiceSyncMac.zip - for Mac users
to download QuickVoice Sync onto your computer. Open the program up and it firsts asks you to backup your files, which I did through iTunes and iCloud just incase. Then I clicked import, the program then searched for my recording and copy them into a new folder in my documents called QuickVoice. My recording in the folder were .caf files which I couldn't open in Windows so I used a program called Audacity. Use this link to download:
http://audacity.sourceforge.net/download/
I downloaded the program and opened up one of my .caf files my clicking 'file', then 'open' in Audacity. When the files was opened I clicked 'file' again then clicked 'export' to convert my .caf file to WAV file for example. You can change the type of file my scrolling through the different types of files available by clicking the box next to 'save as type', I chose 'WAV (Microsoft) 16bit PCM' then click save. You can also change where you save the file by clicking another location before you click 'save'.
I can now play these files in Windows Media Player on my computer or playing them in my QuickVoice app on my ipad2.
Hope this helps, if there are any questions please ask and I will try to answer the best I can. I figured this out myself and I’m not a big pro in computers so I will do my best to answer any quires.

Try "Easy CAF Converter for Logic Pro" on the Mac App Store.
According to an app description,
"The Easy CAF Converter for Logic Pro automatically converts Apple Loops installed with Logic Pro 9 and X to uncompressed audio formats (aiff and wave).
With the Easy CAF Converter for Logic Pro, musicians using other major DAWs (e.g., Cubase, ProTools, Ableton Live, and Studio One, etc.) can now easily use the rich set of apple loops of Logic Pro in their music productions."

Captivate 2 - Windows XP - Unable to decode and import the selected wav/mp3 file

Hi - I have read through all of the postings related to this topic and have tried all of the helpful solutions to no avail.
I have verifed that the file is PCM Format (countless times)
I have registered the NSAudio.dll
I am still receiving the referenced error.
I'm running Windows XP (not Vista)
I'm running Captivate 2
I have a Dell Latitude
I tried to import the file as an mp3 and received a Microsoft error
mfc90ll.exe has encountered a problem and needs to close. We are sorry for the inconvenience.
If anyone has any other ideas, it would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

Hi again
About all I can think of to suggest is to try converting the formats using something like Audacity. See if you get a different result.
