Author Topic: Copying sound from DVD? Nim The Aardvark asked for a dagger Member # 205 posted                       This question mainly goes out to Spike, who held those lovely sound-clip movie contests last year; how does one "rip" the sound from a DVD-disc? Is it possible with PowerDVD alone, or do you need fancy music programs for it? PS. I can't get that "Exorcist" wav-file out of my head. I'm beginning to like it.

But if you just want the theme, search for "Mike Oldfield Excorcist" on any P2P network and you'll get gazillions of hits in a fraction of the time you'd otherwise have to spend ripping it yourself.

I'll try the 'grabber, see if it's good. Registered: Aug 1999  |  IP: Logged Spike Pathetic Vampire Member # 322 posted                       I used Total Recorder for it. It's a very uncomplicated program but an unregistered copy of it can only record 40 seconds. If you want to convert the sound clip to an mp3, you'll need another program like MusicMatch for example. And to polish the whole thing you could use mp3DirectCut. If anyone knows of an easier way, I'd like to know too. -------------------- "Never give up.

Registered: Aug 1999  |  IP: Logged Nim The Aardvark asked for a dagger Member # 205 posted                       Here�s what happens. Registered: Aug 1999  |  IP: Logged Cartman just made by the Presbyterian Church Member # 256 posted                       MusicMatch can't read the .vob format. You'll have to convert those two files with AC3 Decoder or a similar tool. -------------------- ".mirrorS arE morE fuN thaN televisioN" - TEH PNIK FLAMIGNO Registered: Nov 1999  |  IP: Logged Nim The Aardvark asked for a dagger Member # 205 posted                       Hm, the AC3 Decoder I installed only converts .AC3-files. Are there any other decoders? I'm searching but all I get are wav->mp3 decoders... Registered: Aug 1999  |  IP: Logged Cartman just made by the Presbyterian Church Member # 256 posted                       Must be a limitation of the trial version. AC3 Decode (free, no "r") i/c/w/ vob2mp3 (a frontend for AC3 Decode), DVD Audio Ripper, and Riverpast's Audio Converter can also do this, but it might be less of a hassle to just download a crack for AC3 DecodeR and be done with it.

Unless, of course, one of the aforementioned programs both extracts and converts. -------------------- Picard: Mr. Crusher, what's our maximum speed this week? Wesley: [checking manual] Uh, 9.4, sir.

Spike, all the buttons in Mp3DirectCut sure take a while to figure out. Not to worry, soon you shall see a sample of my labor.
