HD QuickTime content

Paul Westbrook | 30 April, 2005 19:10

Apple just released QuickTime 7 that has support for the H.264 codec, which provides a good compression format for video.  They even have posted some movie trailers in HD to show off their new version of Quicktime.

On my 800Mhz PowerBook G4 the HD Batman Begins trailer does not play that well. Maybe it would have if I had a faster computer.

Jhymn IconI have bought over 900 songs from the iTunes Music Store.  When I want to listen to this music on my TiVo, I need to convert it to the mp3 file format.  Using iTunes the only way to convert protected AAC files to mp3 is to burn the tracks to an audio CD, and then rip the CD.

Also, this process doesn't work well if you don't convert a single album.  You can burn tracks from different albums onto a single CD. But when you rip the tracks, all of the track numbers and album names are incorrect.

JHymn is a java application that allows you to convert the music that you purchase from the iTunes Music Store, into a unprotected format.  In addition to converting it to a unprotected format, you can also have the audio file converted to mp3.
