Re: converting from mp4 to mp3.

2019-07-10 Thread 'Janina Sajka' via MacVisionaries 
It's not exactly conversion because the MP4 file is actually a
container, but extracting the audio is certainly possible. Someone else
might be able to help you with a graphical tool. I use ffmpeg on the
terminal command line with a shell script where the operative command is
the following:

ffmpeg -i "$1" -acodec pcm_s16le -ac 2 audio.wav


In the above you would want to replace "$1" with the filename of the mp4
file. The output you get is in a wav file called audio.wav. You can
certainly change the output file name, and you can pipe the output to a
command that would create an mp3 from the wav.

As I mentioned, I run this from a shell script which I've saved as ae16.
So, when I need to do this, and I do it often, I simply issue this
command:

ae16 

And I get a file called audio.wav in the same directory.

If I want mp3, I then use lame to create that. More often I encode to
flac.

You can rename the audio.wav file to whatever you like, of course.

converting from mp4 to mp3.

2019-07-10 Thread Lorie McCloud 
I just want the audio on an mp4 created in a Zoom meeting. what's the best way 
to get it on a Mac? can it be done with VLC media player? it seems like Pontes 
Media Downloader might be able to do it but I haven't figured out how to make 
it work.

thanks.
Lorie

Reading Age of Documents

2019-07-10 Thread 'Adrienne Chalmers' via MacVisionaries 
Hi all

Thanks to Jason for the link. I had a look at the HomeBrew site and panicked. 

However, I then found a link to this site, where you can paste text and get it 
analysed.

Hope it’s of some use to others on-the list

IPad Swift Playgrounds and working with Contacts

2019-07-10 Thread Ryan Mann 
MacHello.  Me and a friend are using Swift Playgrounds on an iPad to learn 
Swift.  Right now, we are trying to work with the Contacts framework to do 
things such as add contacts.  When I try to import the Contacts framework using 
the statement “import Contacts”, Playgrounds tells me that the module doesn’t 
exist.  I don’t think I can do anything with contacts without using this 
framework.  Is this framework only available on Xcode on a Mac?  I thought 
Swift Playgrounds had access to all Swift frameworks.
