WAV to MP4 Batch Conversions

Wednesday, March 22nd, 2006

By the way, what I’m really after is to perform unattended batch conversions of WAVE files to MP4, and I don’t see any obvious way to do that in Quicktime 7 Pro. That UI seems to require manual intervention for converting each file. Do you know if such a way exists? I was able to do this when converting files to MP3 with Cakewalk’s Pyro software. They give a dialog box that allows you to select all files for conversion, not just one.

I would also suggest that Apple update the return codes for the ConvertMovieToFile() function, so that a specific code for “License required” is issued when someone attempts to do what I was, without such a license. This would have saved you a little time, and me lots of time. :-)

 

Thanks very much again for your help,

WAV to MP4 Export Issues

Wednesday, March 22nd, 2006

Yes, that’s right. I’m running Windows and wish to export AAC audio. I remember seeing this article, but figured that I could use the API since I have QuickTime Pro installed. Oh well. I suppose I can write a program to operate the Quicktime Pro UI in batch mode (I have many, many files to convert). I’ll look into the licensing however, and if it’s not too expensive, will go that route.

 

Thanks for the help,
