He specializes in MP3, Windows XP (both Professional and Home Edition), Microsoft Office, and Visual Basic for Applications. Guy doubts iPods will ever have enough space to store all the music and data he wants to carry with him, but he will be delighted if Apple proves him wrong.

  • Digital Video and Audio for Multimedia and Web Development? the Non–Definitive a to Z* Guide
    so you want to know about digital video and audio for multimedia and web development? The Non–definitive A to Z* Guide. © Michael Heller, Intern Cooper International Learning Center, Oberlin College A Presentation for the Five Colleges of Ohio Language Technology Initiative Summer 1997 Macintosh–based Web Authoring Workshop Macintosh is an excellent multimedia and web development platform due to its ease of use, its operating system’s provisions for cross–platform compatibility, and Apple’s Quicktime Media Layer (QTML). Multimedia projects developed on Macintosh using Macromedia’s Director and Authorware or Apple’s Media Tool can be viewed by most Macintosh (MC68040 and PowerPC) as well as most standard Windows-Intel workstations. In addition, web development on Macintosh is simplified by its intelligent graphical user interface and can be delivered to any HTML 2.0/3.0 compliant browser. A. What does that mumbo jumbo mean? It means that using Macintosh to develop computer–based video and audio materials is the way to go. Macintosh is especially suited to converting video and audio so that it can be used by most computers and on the web. B. So, how do I develop these audio and video materials? If you have an 8500 or 8600 Mac, then you have almost all the tools you need straight out of the box. The 8X00 series has a built–in Digital Audio/Video board which allows input (digitizing, or the conversion from analog to digital) of audio and video signals and output (conversion back to analog) of audio and video signals. Video Tools Eventually, you may need some additional software tools, but for beginners, Apple’s Video Player (1.6 in your Apple Extras folder) and Movie Player with Authoring extensions (2.5.1, in your Apple Extras folder:Quicktime Folder) will suffice for video capture and editing (including the audio soundtrack).

    Software Library Listing March 2012 1 INTRODUCTION This is a catalog of all of the files maintained in the Keystone MacCentral Software Library. The Library can be obtained on DVD by request. Processing fee to KeyMac members is $5. We have archived all pre-Classic and Classic files, along with most “No Longer Available” files. These are still available on request. The library list is organized into categories — this should make the listing more useful. The times, they are a’changing. With the introduction of the App Store, it is becoming more difficult to download some “Shareware” versions of applications. So far, the MacUpdate site <http://www.macupdate.com/> has been able to provide access to recent updates (in most cases.) Also, we generally keep only the most current version. In some cases, the program works with a single version of Mac OS X. In these cases, the web site maintains versions for prior OS X versions.

  • Bladeenc for Mac 1.4 Readme Free MP3 Encoder for Macintosh Copyright © 1999-2001 Petteri Kamppuri Based on Bladeenc 0.92.6 Copyright © 1999-2001 Tord Jansson
    BladeEnc for Mac 1.4 ReadMe Free MP3 encoder for Macintosh Copyright © 1999-2001 Petteri Kamppuri Based on BladeEnc 0.92.6 Copyright © 1999-2001 Tord Jansson This program and all files accompanying it are subject to the GNU LESSER GENERAL PUBLIC LICENSE, see the file COPYING for more details. CONTENTS General Information Version Information Useful Information How to use Quick Start Settings Preferences Getting audio files from audio CDs Recording audio files Converting MP3 files to normal audio files Thanks The End General Information BladeEnc is a MPEG 1 Layer III (MP3) encoder based on the ISO reference code. It makes MP3 files from AIFF, WAV and raw PCM files. It supports many bitrates, from 32 to 320 kbps. Best of all, it's completely free with source code available. The author of the encoding engine is Tord Jansson. I have only made the Macintosh specific part. My program is a wrapper to the original BladeEnc. Its "around" the original BladeEnc encoding engine and it makes it possible to use BladeEnc on Mac. Because the original BladeEnc has only a command line interface, this wrapper was necessary to get BladeEnc to run on Macs. BladeEnc is free software released under the GNU lesser general public license. The license is in the file COPYING. See http://www.gnu.org/ for more details on the license. Read more about BladeEnc and it's features from the official BladeEnc homepage: http:// bladeenc.mp3.no/. Version Information 1.4 upgraded to BladeEnc engine 0.92.6, hopefully fixes crashing bugs at the end of encoding 1.3 fixed bugs related to spaces or other special characters in path or file names.
