You'll need ACID plus the samples used in the acd file to create the WAV. Put very simply the ACD file does not contain the files used in the song.

: TX!

: CAN ANYONE TELL ME HOW I CAN CONVERT MY AVI
: & MPEG FILES & COPY THEM TO VHS?
: ANY ASSISTANCE WOULD BE GREATLY APPRECIATED!

You would need a Video and Audio output on your computer as well as a VCR (obviously). I do this using my Video camera connected through Firewire on my Mac G4.

The video output (Composite/Svideo) may be resident on your video card.. Take a look at the connectors.

Probably everyone has his/her own style of storing or sorting things, just like how everyone has their own style of bedroom or office. Here are some things that I have tried, though: (Pornography, secret directories, etc, excluded)

Mac:

Atrium (recently converted or obtained files which need to be reviewed further before storage)
System Folder (as usual, but also includes the following...)
[Most extensions and control panels are locked, but not all because some won't work if locked... for example, the printer]
"Preferences (Disabled)" -- sometimes useful for restoring settings
Configuration Exports (contains locked backup exports of Modem, PPP, etc settings)
Applications
[Nothing but applications, name includes version, spaces and punctuation removed so recompression is simple]--all locked
[A few folders named after applications which need multiple files nearby to run]--all applications and files are locked
Modules (contains nothing but locked VST modules, "Module" reminds me what is here)
Documents (notice how folder name often = file type)
Archives (only contains locked SIT archives of MacOS files)
PC Archives (only contains locked ZIP archives of PC files)
Data Images (only contains a few locked DiskCopy data images of diskettes)
AIFFs
DaxAIFFs (nice playable AIFF compression)
MPEGs (movies, all of type "MPEG", regardless of the source)
WAVEs
Collected Artwork
Album Covers (works in progress in PICT form)
TEXTs (various text files)
Lyrics (word processor files of lyrics)
HTMLs (web pages)
Info
[each item is a clipping or TEXT file named "About ________", no "ReadMe" names allowed]
Utilities
Disk First Aid
Norton Utilities
Completed Songs
[each item is a complete song in locked AIFF form, ready to burn]
[one SoundApp playlist representing the entire album, ready to play or reorder]

That pretty much sums it up. However, I have a separate partition that I use for internet files, expanded archives, and test running programs. Anything that will be created, modified, or deleted often goes in here first--so I don't work my main partition so hard with senseless work. Also, it reduces fragmentation during saves. If anything gets out of hand or corrupt, I merely erase the entire partition with one menu command. I also have a separate partition used only for virtual memory. This also reduces fragmentation and overworking my main partition. When I defragment this partition, I notice that my mac speeds up. I don't put anything into my archives or applications folder until it has been tested and scanned for bugs and viruses. Often I will custom-modify things too, using ResEdit and/or editors.

PC:

Atrium (My Documents renamed)--usually contains recently-expanded or downloaded files pending my review.
Archives (ZIP, and GZIP archives, each in its own folder. Nothing here requires installation. All archives expand into working copies)
Icons (a few extra copies of files only used to store custom icons for Win98 Config)
Trojans (any programs that require installation--I dont trust that.)
Modules (backups of all of my VST/DirectX plug-ins/Managers in one archive)
Info
[separate folders for Bugs/Errors, Registry, DOS commands, Tricks, Application Manuals etc]
Media
[separate folder for each audio or video file type]
Studio (Only audio programs in here)--here are some examples:
[DDClip]
[Tuareg]
[SoundForge XP]
[WaveLab]
[a whole slew of other programs and their needed .ini, .hlp, and .dll files]
[Coagula]
EVPMaker
Amen
BMP2WAV
AnalogBox
Tools (Hex editors, batch renamers, MacDisk, Weird hackware)
Windows (normal windows folder)
Command (normal command folder, but also includes custom .BAT files and nice freeware DOS programs)
System/Sysbckup/ (also includes hand-made backup copies of the Registry)

Well, you get the basic idea. I left out the other stuff that's not so important. Notice how I avoid putting programs into the "Programs" or "Start" folders. I just don't like how it's done. I also modified my "Send to" contextual menu so that I can send any file to any program or drive or folder that I want.

Be sure to make all file types visible at all times. This is useful when the system is in error, but wouldn't tell you otherwise. I also set my recycling bins to all match 0 % space, instant deletion, no warnings. If I want to delete something, I don't ever want to see it again. No use wasting space on something I don't ever want to see again. I am careful about what I delete, so it doesn't worry me to be stern about it.

On the PC, some programs will demand a designated VST or DirectX folder, but not all. It can't hurt to use one. Sometimes you might need more than one designated folder for modules or whatever. See if you can use an alias to a folder instead of a duplicate folder.

As I am working on samples, I usually store them according to file type. However, I like to further subdivide like this:

[AIFFs]
[Aliens]--anything too weird and/or dangerous to use without discretion
[Drums]--individual drum hit sounds according to drum piece
[Ambience]--environmental layers or discrete spatial reverb layers
[Robots]--vocoded speech & computer-generated voices
[Vocals]--spoken word phrases, vocal outtakes
[Animals]--animal noises only
[Instruments]--random assortment of instruments with funny names
[Rhythms]--loops named according to style and BPM

Sometimes I also create a folder called "Ripped" or "Ready to Burn". The names are obvious. Sometimes I also have a "MP3s" folder, but I don't deal with MP3's much.

This is how I have done it in the past, but even now I don't do it quite like that.
For a while I was storing lots of things in HQXed and ZIPped editable DiskCopy images. I also experimented with using AppDisk Save files instead of folders or partitions. Soon I will be creating a collection of WAVE or AIFF sounds stored on 1.4 MB PC-formatted diskettes, in case my hard drives all die. That way I can still use my sounds in a hardware sampler or on another computer. I will put only one sound on each disk, so I can have reasonable-sized sounds. I am not currently using MIDI, and I haven't been for the last few years. Even when I do use MIDI, I prefer to use an external hardware sequencer than a computer. I find it faster to work on.

Try running a separate recording program as you play your rm files. Sometimes this is all one needs to do to convert them. It depends on how your sound drivers are set up, but sometimes they are set up just fine and work without any special extra conversion programs. If you need more routing options, you could download "Virtual Audio Cable" from this site. It allows you to route any playable (ASIO or DirectSound) audio from one program to another. Most programs that let you hear anything have to go through ASIO or DirectSound to get to the speakers or outputs (on a PC), so that's how it works.

IF you are on a Mac, them I'm afraid I cannot recommend a solution. I don't know of a system similar to VAC on a mac yet. Although the freeware program Beaver can save streaming MP3 (M3U) files directly to disk. If the files are also being served in MP3 format, then there you do.

By the way, I've read that Real Media, Real Audio, and Real Networks software and servers are very insecure and pose a security risk to all of their users and customers. I recall that they also participate in Spyware, which is also bad news to users who want to maintain their internet privacy as much as possible. I could be wrong, but it's your responsibility to find out the truth now that I've told you what I suspect. The Truth Is Out There.
