Taking audio from a DVD to a CD?

[Godsmack 361]

On an album I absolutly love, there is an included live dvd. As such, there is alot of the tracks I like better performed live as opposed to studio.

Is there a program available to extract the audio from a DVD and copy it to a CD and/or my computer?

I want to be able to play this in a vehicle without DVD capabilities, so the audio is important to get.

there is a few programs... but all the ones i know about i had to purchase because i dont trust downloading cracked programs and such due to the high risk of getting some kind of virus... i know i got it off of download.com let me call my uncle today (its on his computer) and i will get back to you

isofter dvd audio ripper.

[Godsmack 361]

okay phi, where do i find this magical program?

[shizzzon 461]

do this-

get dvd2avi its free.

You also must have some sort of dvd cracking software so get a trial version of AnyDVD as well.

While AnyDVD is running, have it rip the ENTIRE disc to the hard drive.

Now, open DVD2AVI, open the first VOB file of vob files that contain the highest order.

So if u see something like -

vts_01_0

vts_01_1

vts_02_0

vts_02_1

vts_02_2

vts_02_3

vts_02_4

You would choose the vts_02_1 since it has the highest order of sets of vobs.

Also make sure you choose the _1 version first, DVD2AVI will add the rest of it in order for you, you will see. The _0 vob is the menu for that section of the DVD so you don't want that in there.

Up top in the program, you will change if wanted the audio downmixing and conversions. MAKE SURE YOU LEAVE IT AT 44.1KHZ or else it will violate the rules of being a proper audio disc.

Go to save project, it will create a d2v file which u dont need and an audio track.

Make sure you tell it to make the audio track into a WAV format.

This program will make the entire dvd's audio track into 1 big wav file.

If you want the whole audio from the dvd playable, if the audio is longer than 80 min, you will need to cut it in half.

Audacity is a free program and can do that for ya.

Now listen-

If you want each song ut as it's own track, then the chapters on the disc were properly segmented by song.

Since that's likely, then you will want SmartRipper. It is hard to find but will do the job.

YOU DO NOT NEED ANYDVD IF YOU NEED SMARTRIPPER AND SMARTRIPPER IS FREE.

You will configure smartripper to create a new vob file after each chapter and you will want to rip the disc in MOVIE MODE.

You will now have a gigantic load of vobs now since you had the prog create a new one via every chapter.

From the VOB, you can go on yahoo and search for VOB to WAV or you can do the dvd2avi thing i mentioned above.

You can also use TMPGENC DVD Author do extract the audio track out of the VOB, you will need the trial version.

The TMPGENC Encoder can also do it as it's trial as well.

I have all of these progs i am naming so i am very familiar with doing complicated video and audio editing.

[slim2fattycake 85]

um, i got the program. its a lot easier than that. it'll let you listen to each video i think. its been a while since i used it. i remember it works perfect.

[slim2fattycake 85]

if you have aim, i can send it to you on there. slim2fattycake.

[shizzzon 461]

haha, where'd u come up with that name from?

I just know what i have.

I have a LOT more but i do a ton of video editing, specifically with dvds. These programs come in handy for other purposes.

I remember having Robin Hood Prince of Thieves.

The retarded company spanned the movie across 2 dvds but didn't have any special features so there was no reason to do that...

So i just ripped both discs, cut out the fade out from the first disc and all the movie intro crap from the second, deleted all menus from the 2nd and 1st disc since there was absolutely nothing on this disc other than the movie.

Took about 7 hrs but the finished product was perfect... the way it should have been for retail.

It's sad how the customer has to sometimes fix retail dvds... This isn't the first time i had to do something like that.

For fun, i created all 3 matrix movies on 1 disc non stop, continuous story line without interruption and was created to be watched like that so someone who has never seen the matrix wouldnt even know.

Plus, you get the added convenience of choosing which matrix movie you want to watch as well if u dont have time to watch almost 7hrs of a story at once, hehe.

I think that one was my biggest thing i did recently. My next goal is to do the entire story line of all the Rocky movies non stop on 1 disc but i am still in the testing phase of letting others view quality samples to determine which ones look identical to the original dvd before i try the impossible again.

[slim2fattycake 85]

how good was the quality on the dvds? i mean the only reason i would want two dvds is with better quality. i hate it when features are packed into one dvd. it takes out of the space for better quality of sound and video. however, i do like that idea of putting trilogies together on one disc.

but slim2fattycake is a long time sn. i actually have it as the name on here too but i think i put phi as the nickname or something. lol. but yea i use a lot of those programs too. i should show you my collection. but yea i dont know any other way to send it faster than gettin on aim and then transfer.

Quality is important, but it also depends on what you are using to view it on as well!

The televisions i use are viewed at 540P but i encode in FULL 480P.

The only time i don't is with trilogies. i encode in HALF 480P.

I have done extensive testing and even gave a friend a test dvd with 13 different types of resolutions, sharpening filter selections and other various things used to retain that dvd look without pixelation, interlacing, edging, ghosting or blurriness to occur.

I did this with the Matrix because the Matrix is VERY TOUGH!

A lot of the movie may be slow but when it's fast motion, it's maximum fast motion so it's a challenge.

The entire disc was created to fill up an entire DVD9 which it did.

I would use HD-DVD or Blu-Ray but that technology still isn't anywhere near the performance to price of DVD yet.

The quality is oh so perfect.

Now, if the disc is viewed on a television that is capable of 720P or higher, then yea, i'd say you start to see pixelation for sure due to the size of the resolution the tv can be viewed in.

Once Blu-Ray starts to become very affordable, i'll start doing this hobby work on those discs since you can get dual layered discs now that hold 50gb, that's plenty for a 720p video. 1080p as well should hold a good 3-4 movies on there no problem with the right editing.

I have the software to create High Def video but it's pointless to use as it's only viewable on the computer.

goldwave.com

[Godsmack 361]

okay i got the audio extracted in like 6 different .mp3's.................how do i split them into multiple mp3's like one for each song?? tracks I guess...........

[shizzzon 461]

I have that software too.

Since you basically have an audio file with multiple songs in it, you must select the area that the song uses, cut and paste into a new document, then save.

Or, you could select everything else in that song file, delete it, save that file then undo changes to bring back the rest of the songs.

It would have been "Perfect" if you ripped the dvd by chapter so the songs were already chopped for you.

I ripped each file it had............i couldn't find a way to seperate by chapter.............GLADLY will re-rip if I can get it broken down by chapters............Lemme know how

[Godsmack 361]

FYI the Album is Atmosphere "When Life Hands You Lemons You Paint that Shit Gold" It has "Sad Clown Bad Dub Thirteen" on it as the Live DVD............If someone has already cut it into songs, or has the album and is willing to do it for me, pm me to work something out for me.............yeaaaaaaaaaa

[shizzzon 461]

Well, without wasting your time, pop the dvd into the player and go to scene selection and find out if the company has created chapters that divide each song up... by chapter.

If it does, then i can help you perfect the rip method.

[Godsmack 361]

no info on it man i tried that
