Converting mp4 Interview To CDR

[Ken Dryden]

I had a delightful interview with David Hazeltine today using Skype. My issue being it is an audio only mp4 and I have been unsuccessful finding a way to burn it to a CDR. I typically have played files like this using the headphone jack on the iMac to connected stereo inputs on my Tascam CD recorder, but I am not hearing anything through the headphones and even the level output isn't showing anything.

I also have a laptop capable of burning CDRs.

Can anyone help with suggestions?

Maybe you can first make an MP3 version.   I use software called Switch to do things like that.

Foobar still works great on Windows, and they have a version for Mac. But I can't speak to that.

VLC is another software that works well to extract or convert file formats.

I’ve been using Foobar to download to my laptop so I will try it. Thanks for all the suggestions.

it was nice being able to record a Skype call but it was troublesome that it would vanish after 30 days.

If you want to back it up on a CD-R, just burn it to a CD-R as an mp4 file. You can burn any data file to a CD-R. It doesn't have to be an audio file.

If I can’t play the CDR in a CD player, it is kind of useless to me.

I burned a CDR using the mp4 file an hour ago when I couldn’t get Foobar to convert it to an mp3. I will see what happens.

Does this work?

My CDR is playing so I have no issues. Thanks to everyone for the suggestions.
