Burn a CD from a DVD

[Peter]

Is it possible to burn the audio portion of a DVD to a CD that can be played in a regular CD player? If yes, how? Thanks.

I think Dan just asked the same question not too long ago.

And the DVD audio extractor (that Claude posted a link) works very well. I couldn't get the SUPER to download, which was a little weird annoying, but I'm OK for the remainder of the trial period with the audio extractor program.

It is quite easy if you have a stand alone CD burner.

Just use the audio outs from the DVD player.

As far as using a computer, I could not tell ya.

If you have something you need done ,send me a personal message and I can do it for ya.

One potential problem is if you have a PAL encoded DVD - they'll play on PCs but you're screwed if you have a US DVD player. There is a fairly straightforward way to convert from PAL to the US standard but I am SOL anyway because I don't have a DVD burner installed.

I was thinking that because Peter is from Milwaukee, WI, that PAL would not be an issue.

True, I was responding to your general advice to use the audio outputs from the DVD player; if your DVD will only play on the PC, that's not going to work.

I use Wire Tap which captures whatever sounds are played through your computer, then just drop the results into iTunes. Worked great on the Van Morrison in Montreux Dvd. Because each song got its on chapter I did them one at a time and even got separate cuts for the cd. 1980 concert is wonderful btw.

Wire Tap? Is that the Bush program?

[Peter]

DVD Audio ripper seems like a nice program that does the job. However, the trial version will only rip half a file. I'm going to play around with it a bit more before I plunk down my $29.

As I wrote in the other thread, DVD Audio Extractor will allow you to do a complete DVD conversion during the trial period.

Is there also a program available for the Apple Mac?

[medjuck]

Wire Tap works on a Mac.

[Bluerein]

Thanks but the version I'd download couldn't rip the audio from a DVD. Any other suggestions?

[medjuck]

Huh!?? As long as your DVD is playing through your computer Wire Tap will capture the sound.

Ah, how different people have different understandings of the same words. "Rip" in the current vernacular means running a program to convert one file to another. Medjuck's software records what the soundcard plays, so its in real time and therefore not "ripping". Its the same thing I used to do with Goldwave, recording the audio while the DVD plays.

I see the term "vinyl rip" being mentionned frequently, and if it's not done in real time I don't want to imagine what happens to those LPs

Thanks Dan for clearing that up. I mean this: I put a DVD in the DVD-Rom drive of my iMac and then a program will copy the audio portion of the DVD only to the hard drive for me to do whatever I like doing with it!!

Again help would be appreciated!!!

I know nothing about Mac, but maybe Cinematize does the trick:
