Mister Smart,
I don't know why he wants vorbis, but he's the client, not me. If he's
paying me to do this for him, then don't you think he gets the right to
choose how he gets the file? No offense. I totally agree with what you're
saying, don't get me wrong, so no need for you to get all smart alak with
me. I'm just trying to adhere to his request. Why he wants it in vorbis,
I'll never know either, but he does and is paying me to do it as he
requested, and that's what matters. If someone wanted a low end ford
instead of a lamberguini are you gonna try to sell them the lamborguini when
that isn't the car they want, just because it's higher quality? If it isn't
what the client wants/needs then yes, one can recommend a better sollution,
but there comes a point where the customer has to be right. Would I
personally do it in vorbis? No. I wouldn't, but it's obviously what he
wants, and I have to make a living, so telling him to go elseware wouldn't
be professional of me... especially when I know I can get the resources to
do what he's asking. I'm sorry for snapping earlier, but ethicly speaking,
do you not think that he has the right to request something be done as he
sees fit? This is why I asked in the first place, as I don't know much
about recording in that format on the mac side of things. If it were
Windows, it would be a different story, hell, even if it were Linux, it
would be another story, but it's not. Therefore, I asked here as I was
hoping! that this list would be a good resource to get some info. Instead
however, I feel belittled like my question isn't even worth answerring.
Don't give me the we did answer did we not? No! You really technically
didn't. Instead, you just bickerred about how it's not a good idea. OK,
duh! I get that! I know it's not. I've already covered the fact that I
agree 100%, but again, it's not my decision. This is what the client wants,
and seeing he's my client, it's therefore my responsibility as an engineer
to meet, if not exceed his expectations of satisfaction. This isn't open
for debate.
Kevin, thank you for the suggestions of Switch. I'd totally forgotten about
that gem. I'll definitely try using that to see if I can convert it, as I
do have a license for the app that I bought about half a year ago. I don't
hardly ever use it, I'll admit, but I do have it laying around, now that you
mention it.
Consider this thread closed. I don't want any more crap about it. It's
obvious that everyone elses work ethical policies are different from mine.
I feel it's best to satisfy the customer. You all obviously feel it's best
to give quality even if it's not what has been required. Though I disagree
with this approach tremendously, I'm gonna let dead dogs lie. I'm willing
to agree to disagree.
Chris.

LOL why'd you ask our opinions then?
First you say he's nuts about sound quality, then you ask about compressed
lossy formats. Why?
if he wants high quality audio, send him high quality audio! (wav, flac,
alac etc.)

Chris,
I'm not the one who makes the rules. This guy is paying me for the final
project, so frankly, I think he therefore gets a little say in the matter,
doesn't he?

5 minutes of 16-bit 44.1K stereo wav is only 50.5 MB in size.
Even 5 minutes of 24-bit 48K stereo is 82.4 MB.
Neither of you have the bandwidth to transfer that much?
Even 24.192 is only going to take up about 330 MB.
Convert it to FLAC and you'll save approximately half the space, with
absolutely no reduction in quality.

So, I have a session fully recorded that a friend wants to hear really
really badly. I have no problem at all sharing it with him, but he's
very very picky about his audio listenning. He wants the file in ogg
vorbis. I don't think PT 11.2 can bouncve into vorbis, can it? If not,
are there any good Voiceover friendly tools you all could suggest that
would let me just bounce it as an uncompressed wave, then turn around
and convert it to an ogg file?
