Dvd audio only

i am trying to convert dvd audio into a digital format so i can play the audio file in my itunes. i followed some posts which claimed i needed OSE x, and a52decX 0.25. the later program...turned into a .sit icon on the desktop which asks me how to open the program(which i dont know). i also have a folder from the osex program...which is a file with mpeg2 files in it. what do i do from here? please help, and let me know if there is another way of doin this.

A .sit file needs to be expanded first - Use Stuffit expander for that.
Regarding the second part of your question: Use OSeX to extract the audio part only. - Under normal conditions there should be .AC3 files as result. This files that need to be converted to a file format that will work on iTunes. For That I use "mAC3dec" to convert the AC3 to AIFF or MP3.

  • Copying DVD audio (only) into I-tunes

    How do you copy the Audio content of a commerical DVD into I-tunes. Can you control the amount of compression?

    You don't.
    Commercial dvd's are encrypted to stop you from copying them. Breaking the encryption is illegal.

  • Recording audio ONLY from a DVD into iTunes

    Hi, I'm new to macs having just got an iMac G5. So far I love it and it's loads better than any windows based system I've had. I'm wondering if it is possible to record the audio only from some music DVD's I have into iTunes...can anyone help or is this simply not possible?

    Audio Hijack also creates large files, size-wise. This can be a problem if you are working with putting music on audio cds. Google "ripdifferent" for a site that discusses various methods of legally backing up legally purchased media. The gray area here actually has to do with breaking encryption- under US copyright law, users have always been allowed to make a single back-up (Fair Use) of any recorded media they have purchased. It is possible that media companies are, themselves, in violation of copyright law by making it difficult to make said backups by encrypting their media. Also, copying (ripping, recording, etc.) any DVD in any way would seem to be covered by the warning at the start of all DVDs (including soundtracks), which would include Audio Hijack, for instance. This all came about when the digital revolution made it possible to create exact copies. Back in the day, copying an LP to cassette, for instance, was not considered a problem, because you would lose a generation. BTW, ripping music DVDs can be problematic, as they are mastered differently than are "movies," and some Mac ripping programs have difficulty with them. Proceed cautiously and consider legal ramifications, but also consider retaining YOUR legal rights as well.

  • I want to get audio only file from DVD-R. Please help.

    I hope this is the right place to ask.
    I have just completed copying a radio play from VHS to DVD-R.
    (Recorded off air from high quality BBC FM onto VHS sound only in 1993)
    The copy is a success inasmuch as I now have the high quality copy I desire and I can play it (via the DVD player) through the hi-fi with TV turned off.
    However, I want to go further and load the DVD-R into my iMac and make an Audio only file of the soundtrack for use on my iPod for instance.
    I have no idea if this is possible with the standard iDVD (or other software) on my iMac or how to even start.
    I guess it would be equivalent to loading a standard DVD movie and making a file of just the soundtrack.
    Has anyone any ideas please?
    Thankyou.

    If you used your computer as part of the VHS to DVD process, then you'll have a digital audio file that we can find, but I'm guessing you used a VHS to DVD standalone recorder. If so, you can use some free software called MPEG Streamclip:
    - insert your DVD, and Quit from the DVD Player if it starts automatically.
    - start MPEG Streamclip and open the DVD; then open the Video TS folder and open the first of the .VOB files (repeat this step until you find the file you're interested in).
    - use the Export to AIFF option and you'll have the audio file.
    - you'll be able to bring this file into iTunes, burn it to CD, etc.

  • Best way to play Audio only on a DVD with video?

    I have a Meditavie DVD i am making with both video and Audio combined....and i want to make some tracks that are just Audio only
    for close eye Meditations. ( i dont want to have to add a CD with the DVD for just Audio)
    I made one years ago and just used black as the video output track.
    Is there a way to save space and just have the audio track play?
    And if so how might i do it and also link to the DVD menu?
    Thanks for any help!
    Soshman

    Below is what I wrong before I tested the obvious. Just "import as timeline" the audio only (make sure there is no m2v with the same name); Encore happily builds a disk with black. Mediinfo shows the video stream, but it appears to be at a very low datarate. So, give it a try.  I did not burn a disk; just build to a folder and used a software player.
    Other options: Encore slideshows have odd problems, I'd play with making a single slide (just black, right?) slideshow, maybe set to manual advance with no advance - or a very long duration to match the audio length.
    If an m2v works better for whatever reason, Encore has a minimum bitrate, I think around 2.x or 1.x. So I would try exporting  from Premiere,10 seconds of black video using CBR 1.0, 2.0 and 3.0 and see if it matters.

  • DVD-Audio and "can not detect sound blaster card" with Audigy2 Va

    I recently purchased an "Audigy2 Value" card from an eBay user, because I recently purchased some DVD-Audio discs. I downloaded the Audigy2 drivers from the website, and the Creative MediaSource player. 5. Surround sound worked fine for me, though sometimes the driver would reset to the default 2/2. sound and I would have to re-select 5. sound, which was annoying.
    Then I was completely unable to get the MediaSource player to recognise my DVD-Audio discs, and the EAX functionality of the player would never work. The EAX logo never appeared in the player. When I tried installing the MediaSource player from an install disc, I got the message "can not detect sound blaster card". Then I discovered the world of EEPROM problems.
    I followed advice from some other threads, including using ScanPCI to get information on the card, which yielded the following result.
    When installed on my machine (Asus A7A266 motherboard) the ScanPCI reads:

    On another machine (specs unknown, it's a "house pc") I got this (with 3 entries!):

    (Just a note: above you can clearly see that it does not say I have an Audigy, it thinks it is a SBLi've. Is this normal? The card IS an Audigy 2, it says so on the card.)
    So, I put the card back on my own PC, thinking this has fixed my EEPROM, but I get the same as before. Subsystem ID 0002h. And of course the install software will not detect the card.
    I realise that I could go back to using the web drivers, but this still leaves me with MediaSource not recognising the card and not enabling DVD-Audio or EAX, which is why I bought the card in the first place!
    I have heard that the VIA chipset is possibly to blame for the EEPROM problems on the Audigy cards, and certainly it seems like it is not permanent, since it gave different information on the other PC. So now I am seriously considering getting a new motherboard.
    Do other motherboards cause this same problem? I don't want to buy another board and get the same trouble. All I want is to be able to install my MediaSource and have it recognise my card so I can listen to my DVD-Audio discs.
    Cheers,
    Russ.

    Figured out my problem. Installing the drivers from the web to begin with was a bad idea. They just did not work properly with the card.
    The "card not found" problem has gone as well, after installing it in another PC. I am also using the proper install disc now, as the other one I was using turned out to not be for the Audigy 2 value after all, but was an Audigy 2 install disc. That easily explains the "Card not found" error. The differing results from the ScanPCI program are still bizarre, though.
    Thanks to all of the people on the forum who posted information in other threads to help me deal with this issue. For now I am sticking with the original drivers from the disc and I am not upgrading.

  • So when can we expect official X-Fi CMSS and DVD audio drive

    After this whole bad PR fiasco over modding drivers. When can we expect OFFICAL drivers from creative that support CMSS stereo surround effects and DVD audio in Vista?
    Gi've me a timeframe because I feel like breaking my X-FI card into little pieces, digging it, and youtubing it. Or?I could just return it and get my money back. Haha.

    Presumably the X-Fi 2 will bring it's own innovations.
    EAX6 and higher quality parts for higher SNR responses, and Vista drivers.
    We only have the MS certification that proves it, no tech specs of announcements of any kind yet.
    If it really does bring something amazing then fine, but I can't see myself jumping for it. My Audigy has served me well and with Daniel_K drivers I've got as good as I'm going to get.
    Onboard sound has come on leaps and bounds so after this card, I doubt I'll get another.
    If the X-Fi 2 is based on the X-Fi I wonder how long it'll take for someone to edit them and use them with an X-Fi.
    Meanwhile, us Audigians are still left out in the cold.

  • DVD-Audio discs

    I apologize if this has already been asked. Will the Superdrive on my iMac be able to play a DVD-Audio disc? I want to be able to ultimately import the music into iTunes.
    Please note that I am not talking about ripping the audio from a normal DVD. This album (showing my age) is not available on a normal CD.
    Thanks
    iMac G5   Mac OS X (10.4.6)   1 Gig Ram, Superdrive

    I don't see why it couldn't. I've tried this with my iMac. The only thing you have to do different is import into iTunes. When you try to do this normally, the disc will not show up in iTunes. You have to create a folder on the desktop to copy all the songs into from the disc. then you can drag the folder into the iTunes window, and it copies all the songs into your library and music folder. After that is done, you can delete the folder on the desktop.

  • Quick question about Creative DVD audio pla

    Hi all,
    I loaded all the drivers and software that came with my Sound Blaster Audigy 2 ZS. The kit came with a DVD audio sampler disc. When I put the DVD audio disc into my computer DVD ROM dri've, it automatically navigates to the Creative Audio DVD player. The only problem is that the "play" button is greyed out. It will not play the disc. It show in the staus window that the sampler disc is there and ready to go. I have tried every button but can not get to play.
    Any ideas what I am doing wrong?
    Thanks,

    Now when I launch the DVD audio player and try to click on a button it just freezes up and have to end the program in task manager

  • More DVD Audio Problems! Help!

    This is the same problem as mentioned before in "dvd audio compatibility". I'm getting a lot of customers coming back with the same problem, and they're all using coax to connect their televisions to their dvd players. Problem is, not everyone has RCA jacks available to them. How should I be encoding these videos in Encore 2.0 to avoid this problem? By default they're all going into Dolby digital 2.0. For the past 2 years, I've used Encore 1, and never had this problem.
    What should I be doing in Encore 2?
    Thanks!

    David.
    It sounds to me as if there is something much more fundamentally wrong here. ALL your customers should be perfectly okay using CoAxial outputs from their DVD players. It is only DVD-Audio (a completely different format) that has this issue with needing RCA type jacks.
    DVD-Video should be perfectly okay outputting via CoAxial cables to a suitable Dolby Digital Decoder.
    These people who are missing audio - are they attempting to decode the Dolby Digital stream internally in their players? My guess (and thisis a guess without detailed info) is that they have simply not got their systems set up correctly. Sadly, this is all too common as most end users will never go into the setup pages and will just leave everything at factory defaults (which are rarely ideal)
    When we are talking about CoAx connections, are we talking CoAxial Digital Audio connections here, or CoAx TV (RF type) connections? There is a huge difference.

  • Getting audio only when exporting to camera

    Hello. I have exported many times before but when I recently tried to export to camera, I get audio only. I tried deleting the iMovie Preference file (which I had to do at times in the past) and then I got some video with audio at the beginning but then the video stalled while the audio continued.
    The iMovie material (which I have already exported to DVD) that I am trying to export to tape is from a DVD which I had converted to DV through Toast and edited in iMovie if that makes any difference.
    I'm using iMovie 6.04. Any comments will be appreciated.

    Hi, Rich,
    I just select QuickTime from the Share option in the menu bar, not Export from the File.
    It gives the options of Full Quality, CD-ROM, Web streaming and Email and Expert Settings. I always leave it as Full Quality. I just tried it now and when I select 'Expert Settings,' nothing happens until I click on 'Share,' and then I see the options of how to export and what format to use. Selecting Movie to DV Stream, I then have to change from the 'Most Recent Settings' to get the options of either PAL or NTSC settings for 32, 44.1 or 48 kHz...those are sound settings for audio.
    Frankly, I find it much harder to do all these setting changes when Share to QT as Full Quality has always produced a great movie that is equal in quality to the original iMovie.
    I have been doing it this way since the first iMove came out. It has always been known as a loss-less method. Frequently, my iMovies are complicated with many video and audio clips. With earlier versions, whenever iMovies became complicated, the playback would skip, stutter or the audio would freeze or become distorted. I learned from experience that the burned disks and disk image files would be fine, but it was hard to finish the edits. I learned to edit the video clips, add the still photos, transitions and titles, add just some audios if I needed a few seconds of sound under the still photos, and then export the movie as the Full quality quick time movie. Then, take that qt movie into a new iMovie and then add the audio. Worked every time. The new qt movie always played fine......unless I got too many more clips, and then I just made a new qt movie at that point. I also always use the qt version for exporting back to miniDV tape because the stuttering version usually would not export, or if it did, the stuttering would persist and ruin it.
    Good luck with your projects!

  • Adding Chapter Marks makes DVD audio not work

    I sent a 65-minute video to Compressor from Final Cut Pro X. In Compressor I used the 'Dolby Digital Professional' and 'MPEG-2 for DVD' settings from the Disc Burning folder as targets, and added a job action to create the DVD. I left all default settings. DVD worked fine with good audio and great picture. Then I manually added Chapter marks in Compressor and created another DVD. This DVD had no sound for about half the video. Any ideas on how I can add Chapter marks in Compressor without losing audio? This is for a school Talent Show with about 25 different acts, so I really want to have a Chapter selection on the DVD. If I try other apps to make the DVD (FCP X, iMovie, iDVD) the video quality suffers terribly, so I'm hoping I can get Compressor to work. Thanks for any help.

    I've come up with a fairly straightforward workaround for this. In Final Cut Pro X, before sending to Compressor, do an audio-only export to an AC3 file (Share...Export media, select "Audio Only" for Export and "AC file" for Audio file format). Then use the "Send to Compressor" function from the Share menu in FCP X. In Compressor, create a DVD using the standard "Dolby Digital Professional" and "MPEG-2 for DVD" settings and adding a "Create DVD" job action. Make sure the target AC3 file name in Compressor has a different name (or location) than the AC3 file you created in FCP X. The resulting DVD does have intermittent audio as before, so it can be discarded.
    Here's the trick:
    Open the folder containing the Compressor-created AC3 file, copy the file name, then move that file to the Trash. Find the FCPX-created AC3 file, rename it with the name of the Compressor-created AC3 file, and move it into the folder where the Compressor-created AC3 file was before you moved it to the Trash. Now you can resubmit your job from Compressor and it will burn a new DVD using the AC3 file you created from FCP X, which should have good audio. For me this created a great looking DVD with the high quality MPEG-2 video from Compressor, and the good audio AC3 from FCP X.
    I think there is a bug when sending FCP X projects with multi-cam portions to Compressor. I've seen two other cases of this on the discussion boards and multi-cam appears to be the common thread. I can't think of any logical reason that an AC3 file created in FCP X would sound fine, but the same FCP X project sent to Compressor results in an AC3 file with intermittent audio.
    At one time I thought the issue was exceeding the capacity of the DVD. But after experimenting I learned that an AC3 file created in Compressor from my multi-cam FCP X project has intermittent audio, even without a "Create DVD" job action. (I used VLC to play back the AC3 file and had the same intermittent audio I had with the DVD).

  • New Encore user... AVI shows as audio only?

    OK im a designer... photoshop flash dreamweaver then im your girl but ive
    NEVER used encore before!
    Ive got several episodes of shows ive dowloaded (all leagal!!) which I want to put on DVD, they are AVI files.
    When I import them into the project space they only show up as a window audio...no video!?
    What am I doing wrong/missing?

    You say AVI. That is but a "wrapper," and almost anything can be contained in there. This ARTICLE will give you some detail and also show how to "peek inside" that wrapper. It is the CODEC contained in the AVI, that is all important. It is most likely that the CODEC used is not going to work in Encore, which wants to see either a DV-AVI Type II (either with muxed PCM/WAV audio, or with only the video stream), or DVD-compliant MPEG-2 (again muxed or not). I recommend using elemental/elementary streams, where you have Video-only, and Audio-only in two separate files. The Audio can either be PCM/WAV 48KHz 16-bit, or DD AC3, which is DVD/BD-compliant.
    Let us know what's inside the AVI's, and someone can direct you on how best to proceed. Most likely, you will just Import that file into PrPro and Export as DV-AVI, but you also may need to convert it, should it be DivX, Xvid, or MJPEG, all common CODEC's in the AVI wrapper, but incompatible with Encore.
    Good luck,
    Hunt
