[MPA] AIFF Quicktime Pro conversion question

[filipp lepalaan]

Hi,
Yes, it's the length.
IMHO it's the same as trying to put two hours
of mp3's on one Audio CD even though they might
take up less than 200 megs...

But I'm sure others have way better explanations
and solutions.

... just my 0.02 Euros.
