Re: mergMicrophone - audio format suitable for Windows playback?

2017-04-11 Thread Terry Judd via use-livecode 
HI David – yeah, I’d love to use Keynote for this instead of Powerpoint but all 
the data in the .key archive is binary so not easily manipulated in the same 
way as it is in .pptx files. Powerpoint on the Mac actually does an excellent 
job of exporting to video – it just doesn’t include the audio. If it did I’d be 
using a combination of Applescript and Powerpoint on the Mac to handle all the 
video exports.

without ever officially opening the files in PPT on the Windows side (I 
definitely need a solution that doesn’t require me to manually handle 
individual files). I think I probably have to look at batch processing the 
audio files into a Windows friendly format on the Mac side before switching 
them into the PPT files.

Yeah, this is a bit of a bodged together process. I have a ‘template’ 
Powerpoint file that I modify by swapping screen text, images and audio (.pptx 
files are actually .zip archives so I can do this using revZip). The audio 
files, which are themselves derived from templated scripts using revSpeech in 
conjunction with Sound Siphon are created on the Mac. The now personalised PPT

Any add-on in the merg suite is likely to only use Apple centric formats.
I would let Windows PPT convert the audio, then if playback is suitable on
both platforms, distribute the converted file.

mergMicrophone - audio format suitable for Windows playback?

2017-04-11 Thread Terry Judd via use-livecode 
I’m using mergMicrophone (on OSX) with default settings to record audio (from 
revSpeech) for inclusion in Powerpoint presentations, but when I open the PPT 
files on a Windows computer (so that I can export them to video, retaining the 
sound) it complains about the sound files being in an inappropriate format and 
that it needs to convert them (through some internal process) before it can use 
them. This would be ok but I’ve potentially got hundreds of these PPT files and 
need to avoid the PPT conversion step.

Any ideas on what mergMicrophone I should be using to record the audio files 
for them to be more Windows friendly?
