Does anyone know how to convert a wav file from stereo to mono? Also if
there are any other suggestions to reduce file size? I've zipped my
presentation and it still won't send! I don't understand why?! Any help would
be appreciated.

 

[Sandy]

try converting to a riff wav: http://sourceforge.net/projects/cdexos/

 

[Austin Myers]

You might consider giving PFCExpress a try, it's designed specifically for
this situation. You can download a free trial version (fully functioning)
from www.pfcmedia.com

[Sam]

Thanks for that. I'll give it a go and see what happens!

 

[Sam]

I'm still having trouble! I triec PFCExpress, any other suggestions? This
presentation is a piece of coursework that I have to upload so getting quite
worried now!

 

[Michael Koerner]

Sam;

Ttake your WAV file into "Sound Recorder" which is available through Start,
All Programs, Accessories, Entertainment. With your WAV file opened in
Sound Recorder, click on File, Properties, Convert Now. As a good place to
start, scroll down until you find "MPEG Layer-3 16kBit/s 11,025 Hz, Mono".
See if this does not help your situation.

Tell me what problem you are having with PFCExpress? If the resulting zip
file is too large to go through your ISP use the alternative suggested and
prepared for you.

PowerPoint will do this for you. No need to do it externally or reinsert

On the picture toolbar (View|Toolbars|Picture), there's a "compress" option.
Use it.

[Sam]

yep did that a while ago. so still don't understand why it won't work?!

 

[Kathy Jacobs]

Sam,
Out of curiosity, would you go to Tools--> Options, save tab and check that
Fast Saves turned off? Then, would you save your presentation under a new
name. Let us know if that shrinks the size of the file.

As above you need to choose compress pictures in the picture toolbar

If you are really stuck with a huge file try using winzip to send split files.
