Re: lingo-l WAV or AIF
If you want to stream them you need to do insert-media element-shockwave audio, otherwise use as AIF. I guess you can't use streaming mp3 in soundobjects (queue, playNext etc) for obvious reasons (= preloading). -A. Do I have to do something special then for use with MP3 or do I just has to handle them as an aif or wav. Place it in the soundchannels, puppetsound, lingo, any xtras needed? i seem to be having very good luck with mp3's for voice overs and bkgd music but for short rollover sounds i have been using wav files. the mp3's compress down very well. What's better to use WAV or AIF files. Because now I'm using the IAF files and I notice that on a PC gaps appearing when it changes from marker or from dir file. I was wondering if i change them to WAV files it would be better. thx tom [To remove yourself from this list, or to change to digest mode, go to http://www.penworks.com/lingo-l.cgi To post messages to the list, email [EMAIL PROTECTED] (Problems, email [EMAIL PROTECTED]).

RE: lingo-l WAV or AIF
i have been using them as you would a wav or aif. I had a question about puppeting the sounds and called macromedia and they told me that that was the old way of doing it that now with 8.5 all you have to do is call your sound with the sound command. I have eight different sounds (mp3's) i queue them, playNext and preload without any wierdness. -- From: Andreas Gaunitz P11 Reply To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, February 21, 2002 4:54 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: lingo-l WAV or AIF If you want to stream them you need to do insert-media element-shockwave audio, otherwise use as AIF.

Re: lingo-l WAV or AIF
What's better to use WAV or AIF files. Because now I'm using the IAF files and I notice that on a PC gaps appearing when it changes from marker or from dir file. I was wondering if i change them to WAV files it would be better. The decision for which type of file to use depends on: * cross platform compatibility * Xtras or plug-ins required * Type of capture card * Type of editing software * File conversion capibility If you are not sure what platform you are developing for, perhaps it would be better to go for a file format which may be used on more than one operating system or is supported by the computers that will be playing your movies such as AIFF. For the record, Director supports the following digital sound files: AIFF (for cross-platform use) WAV (windows only) MP3 System 7 Sound (Mac only) Quicktime (sound-only movies) Video for Windows (sound-only movies) MIDI Shockwave Audio What sample rate were you using? 22.05kHz should be enough because of file size limitation. Also, if play back is jerky, this could be due to both the size and file type you were using. Internal sound files tend to play back better if kept short. Long internal audio files have a hard time playing back smoothly because the entire file is loaded into RAM before it can begin to play, so Director handles the play back of larger files better externally. What type of file you ultimately choose depends on your requirements. For example .wav files are small, internal sound files. If they are music files, Quicktime or MP3 would be better, for they are external files. Hope this helps.
