This was on a show called Great Performances, and toward the end, it reminded me of something infamous. Can anyone place it?

I know! The last time I saw a downloadable "wav" file was over 2 years ago (before MP3's were popular)

Heh, I would, but i'm using Cool Edit 2000 to encode it, and not sure HOW to save it or compress it as an MP3. Let alone if it's even possible to do so.

Same goes for Video Files. ATI won't let me encode anything in DIVX, only MPEG..

Use these 2 downloadable programs/encoder to create MP3s out of WAV files.

I use the older version "Cool Edit Pro" to make MP3's. It's just a matter of saving as an MP3. Cool Edit 2000 definitely has this feature.

I'm not sure how diferent 2000 is over Pro, but I just do a save as...select MP3 as a file format, then you have many options to choose for compression.

The most common option is 128kbps, 44100 kHz, Stereo, High Quality.

Hope that helps.

This was used on the original Conan buring the orgy scene.

and in the movie Bolero with Bo Derek. (at Least I think it was her).

 

[DeathStar1]

Heh, don't watch Conan, but there's some other show or movie that made me rememember that portion of the song. I just can't place it and it's been bugging me ever since .

Oh, and I checked again, and Cool Edit 2000 dosn't have an MP3 save as feature, or export feature.

Definitely Bolero by Ravel.

The piece was definitely used in '10'. Bo Derek's character liked to um ... do things whilst it was playing in the background. Ravel (though usually a fairly asexual character) would probably have approved, since the piece is meant to represent love making. I was a student at the time the movie first came out, and had the misfortune to live next to a guy who played this whilst 'entertaining' his girlfriend. Judging from the non-musical noises, I would say Chopin's Minute Waltz would have been a more appropriate choice. :frowning:

The following joke was popular (at least in the UK) when the movie was first shown:

Q: What's the world coming to?
A: Ravel's Bolero

Odd? The web site says it can:

Do you have the full version? or an LE type version?

 

[DeathStar1]

Nope, Full Version. Unless it's some type of Plugin I don't have.
