We just covered a tip on <a href="http://osxdaily.com/2012/01/16/convert-video-to-audio-mac-os-x-lion/">how to convert video to audio</a> using the media encoder, but it turns out this feature isn’t enabled by default for all Mac users running Lion. If your Mac is missing the “Encode” menu options, turning them on is easy.</p> <h2 style="font-size:1.2em;">Enable Video & Audio Encoding Tools in Mac OS X</h2> <ul> <li>Launch System Preferences from the Apple menu</li> <li>Click on “Keyboard” and then click on the “Keyboard Shortcuts” tab</li> <li>Select “Services” from the left, and scroll on the right for “Encode Selected Audio Files” and “Encode Selected Video Files”</li> <p><img src="http://osxdaily.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/01/enable-encoding.jpg" alt="Enable Encoding in OS X Lion" title="enable-encoding" width="252" height="40" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-26027" /></p> <li>Check the box next to both of those options and close out of System Preferences</li> <li>Confirm encoding tools are now enabled by right-clicking on an audio or video file and looking for the Encode option</li> </ul> <p>Now that the OS X Lion media encoder is enabled, you can right-click on media files to <a href="http://osxdaily.com/2012/01/16/convert-video-to-audio-mac-os-x-lion/">convert video to audio</a> and <a href="http://osxdaily.com/2011/07/30/convert-audio-to-m4a-mac-os-x-lion/">audio to m4a</a>. The resulting pop-up encoder window looks like this: <span id="more-26026"></span> <img alt="Convert audio to video in Mac OS X Lion" src="http://osxdaily.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/01/convert-audio-to-video-mac.jpg" title="Convert audio to video" class="aligncenter" width="618" height="386" /></p> <p>Conversion is surprisingly quick and produces high quality media files, give it a try.</p> </div> <p><a href="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/OcJEmTHLGqZrDVtE6CD-tu143bs/0/da"><img src="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/OcJEmTHLGqZrDVtE6CD-tu143bs/0/di" border="0" ismap="true"></img></a><br/> <a href="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/OcJEmTHLGqZrDVtE6CD-tu143bs/1/da"><img src="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/OcJEmTHLGqZrDVtE6CD-tu143bs/1/di" border="0" ismap="true"></img></a></p><div class="feedflare"> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/osxdaily?a=T2ReCUeaXcU:FjNU13WgubI:yIl2AUoC8zA"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/osxdaily?d=yIl2AUoC8zA" border="0"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/osxdaily?a=T2ReCUeaXcU:FjNU13WgubI:V_sGLiPBpWU"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/osxdaily?i=T2ReCUeaXcU:FjNU13WgubI:V_sGLiPBpWU" border="0"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/osxdaily?a=T2ReCUeaXcU:FjNU13WgubI:D7DqB2pKExk"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/osxdaily?i=T2ReCUeaXcU:FjNU13WgubI:D7DqB2pKExk" border="0"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/osxdaily?a=T2ReCUeaXcU:FjNU13WgubI:7Q72WNTAKBA"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/osxdaily?d=7Q72WNTAKBA" border="0"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/osxdaily?a=T2ReCUeaXcU:FjNU13WgubI:qj6IDK7rITs"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/osxdaily?d=qj6IDK7rITs" border="0"></img></a> </div><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/osxdaily/~4/T2ReCUeaXcU" height="1" width="1"/> View the full article
