hi gang im trying find some free software that i can use to save the sound- track of a dvd to mp3 files that i can put it onto a cdr.is there a free software that does that? lenny aka benbernie
I gathered that. Rip sound only from movie (you may have to decrypt first) to harddrive. Open sound file with Audacity and convert to .mp3 format. Burn to CD.
hi again when i used dvd shrink i got a "invalid navigational structure".dvd shrink cannot continue.what should i do?? benbernie
Hold on a little. It's been a long time since I saved a soundtrack this way so I'm actually doing one right now so I remember the procedure and don't steer you wrong. I promise I'll post back as soon as I can. It's 9 PM here so either later tonight or tomorrow. Okay?
Hey lenny, it looks like it has to be done in "real time" so this will take a while . Here's a thread I found while you're waiting. I'll be back. http://forums.afterdawn.com/thread_view.cfm/701886
I have the paid version. I never had reason to notice. All Platinum versions or just the latest? What are the limitations on the trial version?
You need linux.. it's real easy with nothing special needed... transcode -x null,dvd -i /dev/dvd -T2,4 -a 1 -y null,ogg -b 320 -J resample -E 44100 -o test.ogg this extracts the audio track 1 (-a 1) of chapter 4 of title 2 (-T2,4) of /dev/dvd (-i /dev/dvd) and converts it to ogg format (-y null,ogg), bitrate 320 (-b 320, default is 128 resampled at 44100 (-J resample -E 44100), saving it in file test.ogg (-o test.ogg). to get wav files ready to be burnt in an audio cd, use -y wav instead. edit the command as needed... works on windows if you have ffmpeg and transcode installed (usually come in the mplayer/mencoder package) and you know how to use the command line tools.
hi gang im back.i managed to save the soundtrack by using a different dvd/cd player.thanks gang. lenny
hi well i connected my older dvd/cd player into the in line jack on my soundcard.i have a newer dvd/cd recorder player but there seemed to be a problem with my speakers alot of hum.but not so with this other cd/dvd player.its how i do it when i want to record the sountrack from a vhs tape.but with that i connect my vcr to my computer and do it that way.for you id say try it with your dvd player.let me know what happened. lenny
Oh boy! Now I can stop and go to bed. To be honest, when I want only audio from DVD I use DVD Audio Extractor. http://www.castudio.org/dvdaudioextractor/ But you wanted free so I gave it a shot (mistake). It was taking forever so when you said you had it then I quit. Whew. I might give varnull's suggestion a try but everything I've tried from jodix.com has been hit or miss. The program I mentioned above has worked perfectly every time so I think I'll stick with it seeing as how I paid for it. Anyway, it was worth a try. Oh yeah. Thanks varnull. Food for thought.
