Will iTunes or QuickTime Player let you burn an mp4 file onto an audio CD?

I want to burn some MP4 videos (i.e., the audio portion only) onto audio CDs; I guess that would mean converting to .aiff files, right?
Can this be done in either iTunes 10.6.1 or QuickTime Player 10.0? I'm running Mac OS 10.6.8 on a Mac mini, if that makes any difference.
Or do I have to find some third party software to do the conversion and then burn the CDs?
Thanks in advance for any advice you can offer.

Depends on how you plan to play them back. AIFF can be played on almost any commercial audio CD player. MP3 files can be played on most current CD players. Apple Lossless or AAC could be used if playback is through your computer. The choice is really yours.

Yes, but the work flow may be different depending on which software and audio compression format you use. E.G., QT 7 Pro could extract the MP4's AAC audio track directly to an new file without conversion if AAC is your target format. As previously mentioned, QT X could be use to recompress the MP4 to an audio only AAC file. The free MPEG Streamclip or QT 7 Pro apps could be used to convert the MP4's AAC directly AIFF files. Converted or extracted AAC files could be added to your iTunes library where iTunes could create and burn a "Playlist" of such files to CD using AAC, AIFF, Apple Lossless, MP3, or WAV compression formats dependin on your playback requirements. (Unfortunately, iTunes will not directly extract and reprocess/burn the AAC audio directly from MP4 files already in its library.

Videos darker in iTunes than Quicktime Player

I've bought a few movies from iTunes and imported a few from other sources.
Whilst watching one purchased from iTunes (There will be blood) I felt the video was very dark. I did a little experimenting and have discovered that videos play considerably darker in iTunes than in Quicktime Player (the AV controls in Quicktime are set to the default so its not because I've adjusted the brightness manually).
I find this really confusing as I would have thought iTunes and Quicktime Player would be using the exact same framework/code to display the video. I can't see any way in the iTunes UI to adjust the video brightness. Am I missing something? Is it perhaps something to do with Colorsync/Monitor profiles. Perhaps one app is compensating with the color profile and the other is ignoring it?

Here's what you need:
Macintosh Hardware
Mac computer with an Intel, PowerPC G5, G4, or G3 processor
Screen resolution of 1024x768 or greater
Playing videos purchased on the iTunes Store requires a Mac computer with an Intel, PowerPC G5 or 1.0GHz PowerPC G4 or faster processor
*Playing HD-quality videos purchased on the iTunes Store requires a 2.0GHz Intel Core 2 Duo or faster processor*
512MB of RAM; *1GB is required to play HD-quality videos*
Playing videos also requires at least 16MB of video RAM

I cannot find the eMac install disk, and I haven't been able to get it to start up from my 10.3 CDRm (holding down option or c), though I read something somewhere about these not being able to start up from system folders earlier than those they shipped with. I've dealt with this sort of thing several times before, and it always seemed to work to simply use target disk mode.
It definitely won't start up fromt the 10.5 DVD-R, and I'm pretty sure I tried putting the MBP into TM to use its optical drive as well, but it didn't work. But it's worth trying again, and I appreciate your input greatly.

Download and install VLC Player. It plays more formats and is free and highly regarded.

My new iPhone 5 will connect to iTunes, but won't let me put music or pictures onto it...

My new iPhone 5 shows up in iTunes, but won't let me put pictures or music onto my phone. They are both under the same iTunes account and it let me transfer stuff onto my old iPhone 4 before. I don't know why it won't let me now. Both are updated also... Please help!!

Thank you so much! I can't believe I didn't think to check that. I synced it to iTunes, but I didn't think to see if those were checked or not and they weren't. I checked them, and resynced and its working perfectly. Thanks so much!!!

When you scroll to the bottom of the list of files in Finder, the left to right scrollbar doesn't let you click the last file and it covers the file for a while until it disappears. Is this a bug? How do I not make that happen?

An odd workaround: click "Always" in System Preferences/General/Show scroll bars. The scroll bars will always show, but they won't cover your last file.

How do I burn an mp4 file to DVD?

Do I need a program such as Toast or QuickTime Pro to burn an mp4 file to a DVD, or is it possible to use iDVD or disk utility?
Thanks.

Bearsfan, Welcome to the discussion area!
Are you trying to burn it to the DVD so it is just a file on the DVD? If so you can use the Finder or Toast.
OR are you trying to create a standard video DVD capable of playing in any commercial video DVD player? If so, have you tried launching iDVD and then dropping the mp4 into the movie area? If that doesn't work, have you tried launching iMovie and dropping the mp4 into it?

Burn a PDF file onto a CD that contains music

Hello, I'm currently in the process of completing a physical version of some music I made. I also want to include the lyric booklet PDF file but I would like to keep the CD as a music CD so there won't be any compatibility problems. Is there any way to burn the PDF file onto the CD with the music without sacrificing playability? An album that I know has done this is Fall Out Boy's "Folie a Deux". They put some files onto the CD that would allow you to download additional content. Thank you for any help!

I know you can to this with Toast, Roxio Toast 11 Titanium - CD, DVD, Blu-Ray Burning Software Program for Mac I've done it before. Toast calls this an "enhanced audio CD". I don't know if you can do this with iTunes or Disc Utility, but probably not.

I am not able to download mp4 files (video and audio) to iTunes since I updated to iTunes 11. Thanks for your help.

Thank you for clarifying. Your question is in your browser, not in iTunes. Each download link is different, and it has nothing to do with the File menu. You can save media files by secondary-clicking on the link to the media file and selecting Save File to "[your downloads folder".

I can't import mp4 files onto itunes

7) Select Always for this type checkbox
8) Now try double clicking on an MP3 file
9) Does it start playing in ITunes?
10) Check Itunes settings: Edit>Preferences>Advanced
11) Are the checkboxes Keep Itunes folder organized and Copy to Itunes foler when adding selected? If not - read the manual to understand what those two settings do

How do you burn a video file not compatible with quicktime?

Hello all,
I am very new at this so I apologize if the solution is very simple - i just can't seem to work this iDVD thing...
I've searched through the forums and can't seem to find exactly what I need, please point me in the right direction if a solution has already been posted elsewhere.
Okay, so my problem is trying to burn movies to DVD. I don't actually have to use iDVD, but it's the only solution i've come up with. My problem is when I add a movie file (lets say, something that will ONLY OPEN with VLC), and press preview, no movie files show up... but when i put in a video file that will play with quicktime, the preview works fine.
So i suspect the preview wont play because the file is not compatible with quicktime.
have any of you tried this? All i want is to be able to play a downloaded movie on the dvd player downstairs
regards,
Peter

iDvd is not a general burn utility. However, there's a very good chance (whatever that file is) that Toast will burn it to Dvd-R. And if not (which is unlikely) then do as suggested already and use Mpegstream Clip. It's 100% free! However Mpeg 2 playback component may run you a few bucks (if needed).
Or the alternative is to invest hundreds of dollars in Apple software and use apps like FCP and DVDSP (or FCS) along with QT Pro. Nine times out of ten this combination tends to work well ... but it ain't cheap (not to mention a rather steep learning curve).

I can't Install iTunes or QuickTime Player

i have downloaded iTunes 8 from the official apple website, when i click the icon on my desktop which was created from the download it says...
gathering required information but then it says...
your computer must be restarted for any changes to iTunes to take effect.
so i do it and then try and go onto iTunes...
IT DOES IT AGAIN!
this keeps happening over and over, i have tryed deleting all the things i have downloaded and downloading again and the same happens.
its a never ending loop.
also when i click on the QuickTime Player buttons it says erroe46 or someting...
file cannot be found
please help me guys!

ok then, sorry ill get the exact problem typed now in number order...
EDIT:
QuickTime Player:
When I click on the QuickTime Player icon my desktop which was made when I downloaded iTunes 8 from the official apple website I got this...
'Error 46: Could not load or find the QuickTime ActiveX control.'
iTunes:
When I click on the iTunes icon on my desktop which was made when I downloaded iTunes 8 from the official apple website after what seemed to be a normal instalation I got this...
1. Preparing to install
2. Please wait while windows configures iTunes (takes 9 seconds)
3. Gathering required information...
4. Time remaining: 3 seconds
5. Time remaining: 2 seconds
6. (then jumps to) Time remaining: 14 seconds
7. You must restart your system for the configuration changes made to iTunes to take effect. Click Yes to restart now or No if you plan to manually restart later.
*Then this happens*
1. (If I click Yes) Opens the 'Computer' page then restarts my computer (takes longer than usual.
1. (If I click No) Opens the 'Computer' page and does nothing else. (If I restart my computer manually then nothiing out of the usual seems to happen)
2. (After restart) If I click the iTunes icon this happens all over again!
Notes
I have tryed deleting all of the components of the original download and then downloading again three times to see if it helps. But no luck.
Would trying to find an earlyer version of iTunes possibly help? like version 7 or something?
SOON I WILL RECORD WHAT HAPPENS AND POST ON YOUTUBE AND SEE IF THAT HELPS ANYONE THAT MIGHT HAVE A SOLUTION FOR ME.
