In addition to wav/aiff, you also have the option of MP2 (MP3's predecessor), as well as IMA 4:1. These compressed formats take up considerably less HD space, so if that's a concern, these ancient, but still serviceable, formats might be worth taking a look at. MP2 at 128kb/s is quite tolerable (and at 224kb/s is downright excellent). IMA 4:1 provides less aggressive compression and lower quality. It is much less complex than MPEG-anything, however, so system resources get taxed much less (during encoding and decoding).Quick Time should be able to convert to any older format that will work on the version of QT that came with the CC. A .mov file should be most compatible. But I would think the earliest versions of Quick Time would have supported .WAV & .AIFF. I would not suggest Apple's SND format as I believe it is mono only.Mac128, I'd be happy to test out how the channels are working later this week. If someone could be as kind to a) let me know what type of stereo file i'm making for a system 7.1 machine B) best program run it on the CC
