Extract audio-only from DVD. Which container format?

I've got a couple of music dvd's that contain nice DTS surround sound audio tracks. The video of these DVD's is pretty much uninteresting, so now I'm looking for a way to rip/extract the DTS track from these dvds (without converting them, I want to be able to pass the original DTS to my receiver) and put them in some container format that can easily parsed by music players (ie. it would be nice to have some metadata).
Which container format would be the most suitable? Ogg?
And which tool can do this?
Handbrake forces you to use the video as well, so that's not a viable option.

Don't take my word for it, but I've heard that the developer of the music player that you use is a pretty smart dude. Have you considered e-mailing yourself a feature request?

  • 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.

    The mac has no native way to read .wma files (these are Windows Media Audio files).  Do a search on the internet for playing wma files on a mac.  You will find several links to solution (one is to use flip4mac).

  • JDBC: How  to select only those records which contains col1 is NULL

    Hi All,
    In JDBC SELECT scenario.
    I wants to select only those records which contains col1 is NULL.
    I am trying as follows:
    <key>
    <col1 isNull="TRUE" />
    </key>
    but in moni/monitoring i am getting Following Error
    006-12-01 19:35:20 Error Unable to execute statement for table or stored procedure. 'BG_SALARY_SEND_SAP_D' (Structure 'SELECT') due to java.sql.SQLException: FATAL ERROR document format: structure 'SELECT', key element 'key' contains no values

    Please suggest how to do select rows with col1 is null.
    Regards

    Rohan,
    isNull= true is used to make the KEY element not mandatory.
    In your case, if the select query is
    select emp from emptest where empno is null
    , then the datatype will be,
    <root>
    <StatementName>
    <dbTableName action=”SELECT”>
      <table>emptest</table>
    <access>
    <emp></emp>
    </access>
    <key1>
    <b><empno hasQuot="NO">is null</empno></b>
    </key1>
    </dbTableName> 
    </StatementName>
    </root>
    I dont have a DB access to try this, but I think this should work.
    If this doesnt work, then you would need to use SQL_QUERY,
    <root>
    <StatementName>
    <anyName action=” SQL_QUERY”>
    <access>select emp from emptest where empno is null</access>
    </anyName > 
    </StatementName>
    </root>

  • Batch Extract Audio Files from .m4a videos

    I saw something about using Terminal to extract audio files from a batch of quicktime movies, but I'm not sure where it was. Anyway, is there a way besides doing each manually? There are quite a few of them. I know my way around Terminal fairly well if necessary.

    Okay, I kind of solved it (drag and drop, click, drag and drop, click, etc...) by using ffmpegX, which puts each file into a queue and goes through and converts them all. Still, it would be cool if there was a way to do it all in a single batch because if you drop a batch into ffmpegX, it only does the first one.

  • Can I save audio only from iMovie video...?

    Can I save audio only from iMovie video...?

    Sure.
    Choose Share>Export Using QuickTime.  Then select Sound to AIFF from the Export dropdown menu.
    The resulting will be an audio only AIFF file.  The Sound to AU or Wave work in the same way and will create audio files of those file types.

  • Extracting audio tracks from a specialized CD

    I am quite new to the Adobe A/V applications having used Sony Sound Forge and Vegas for many years. I am now a monthly Creative Cloud subscriber and thought it might be a good idea to learn Audition, Premiere, etc. since I also use Photoshop, Dreamweaver, Lightroom, and Acrobat.
    My audio workflow is probably quite different than most in that I work part-time at a church and deal with a number of CDs that always contain split tracks (instruments left; voices right), and usually a demo track and a stereo instrument only track. The split track and stereo instrument versions of the song contain multiple tracks within them for practice purposes. When I use the "Extract audio from CD..." command I usually select all of the tracks but would like to have all of those tracks included in ONE .wav file with markers inserted at each track. Is that possible?
    The only way I have been able to reconstruct the multi-track single song files after extracking them in Audition is to open each track in Audition and then create a multitrack session and piece each song together on a single track line. This is time consuming, especially when some of the CDs have multiple songs and  may contain 70-90 individual tracks (divisions).
    Another thing I have not been able to figure out how to do is to take a split track that is contained within a stereo Audition track in a multitrack session and create two mono tracks - one containing the instruments, and one containing the voices. Our choir director will sometimes want to eliminate parts of the vocal tracks and use a soloist instead and having the two tracks as separate mono tracks makes that easier, although I know I can open the piece up in the waveform editor and have access to either the left or right track separately.
    I am also looking for a manual or online course for learning several of the Adobe products. Any suggestions?
    Your help is most appreciated!

    Thank you durin! Yes, File > Open Append is much faster. It requires, however, that I know which track numbers make up an entire song. Then the Edit > Extract Channels to Mono Files works great too. After working on the individual tracks I then Ctrl-clicked on each track and did Multitrack > Bounce To New Track > Selected Track to convert it back into a stereo track in the waveform editor. From there I can add it to a CD layout along with the other songs we are going to use on a Sunday.
    I’m still working on the editing of the sermons I record for the purpose of burning CDs and also putting on our website. There are a lot of pauses that I need to take out and I have used Audition to help automate that process. I haven’t quite gotten it adjusted correctly yet as it seems to be deleting too much. I am also looking for a way to do a global delete of certain sounds like the sound many speakers make just before starting a sentence by putting their tongue against the front of their lower teeth and making a “clicking” sound.
    I really like your “Skip Selection” option as I use a similar command in Sound Forge to check the area I am about to delete to check continuity before deleting the selection. In fact, I programed my mouse to do that with the push of one of its buttons. Will probably do that in Audition too.
    I’m beginning to like Audition more and more each time I use it. Can’t wait to learn Premiere and its related applications!

  • Extracting mpeg files from DVD studio pro burnt DVD

    I burnt a dvd with studio pro a while back and have scince deleted the mpeg file. I want to make and edit and burn a new dvd. Is there any way to get my mpeg file back off the dvd so I can edit it?

    You can use MPEGStreamclip to either demux the DVD streams (VOBs) back to their elements (.m2v and .AC3) which will create no loss in quality. You can also edit in MPEGStreamclip and then demux (though the editing process is a bit clunky).
    Once you have the elemntary streams you can do a "down and dirty" edit in DVD-SP also.
    Alternatively MPEGStreamclip can be used to convert the VOBs into Quicktime movies with consequent loss in quality as you will be converting from MPEG (a lossy format), edting and then eventually reconverting that footage back into and MPEG (thereby compressing again)
    Best ting about MPEGStreamclip is it's free:

    I should add as a caveat that you should only be using this on material that you own.

  • Recording narration on tape - extracting audio only - workflow suggestions?

    I have a bunch of students who are recording their narration tracks onto tape via a camcorder.
    What is the best workflow to get these clips with audio only into iMovie 08?
    Presently, we are capturing all the clips iMovie 08, then using Movie Tools Convert to AIFF droplet, dragging the aiff's into iTunes and accessing them in iMovie from iTunes.
    Alternative suggestions? There are lots of narration clips and lots of students working in a noisy computer lab, so direct recording is really not a good choice here.
    Don't have QTPro on the computers.
    If I'm doing the CMD+Shift drag technique correctly, you must drop the clip ONTO an existing clip to get the audio separated from the video.
    There is no way to extract the audio any other way in iMovie 08?
    Is the better workflow to install iMovie 06 and use it's Extract Audio feature?
    There would still be several steps to getting the extracted tracks into iMovie 08.
    thanks for any suggestions or pointers

    the 'Export with Quicktime..' option allows you to choose 'Aiff' as option.. that exports the audio-only of any project..
    so, one option of workflow is: import camcorder-narrations into an Event, create Project, Export As Aiff, (process in Garageband), and the usage of iTunes is in my opinion a very clever way.. (using Playlist to organize audio before usage in iM) ..
    another way is, to do all audio work in Garageband.. which is the intended workflow in iLife08.. edit in iM08, 'share', and do all audio in GB ..
    consider to install iMHD6 on one computer as 'audio workstation': import tapes into an iMHD6 project, Export as Aiff, share those audio files to other Macs (LAN, usb sticks) - a good naming scheme is of paramount importance
    .. There would still be several steps to getting the extracted tracks into iMovie 08.
    basicly: yes.

  • How to import audio/video from DVD into FCP

    Hi, I need to import/capture into FCP from a dvd. When dvd files are open on my Mac it show VOB fotmat for video. I imported those files but they don't have audio, also the total time is 20 minutes but when imported into FCP it shows only bout 25 seconds. can someone help on this matter?
    Thanks in advance

    Cinematize works great. You can select portions or the entire DVD. It will not read encrypted DVD's so assuming you are using media that you have rights to it will do fine.
    You can import in several compressions. If you like you can import only the audio, only the video, etc. It will give you a QT file at the end.

  • No video (black), audio only, from imported .mov files

    Bear with me while I explain the whole process to get where I am, which is that in FCE, I am importing .mov files and they are completely black, no video, just audio.  When I bring a clip into the timeline and try to render even a small clip, it is still black.
    I'm not well-versed in video so please bear with me:
    Steps:
    1.  I received large video files from a videographer
    2.  the large files could not be imported or played in FCE
    3.  downloaded HandBrake converter and began converting files.  Kept them at the same size, but they were then renamed .mov files.
    4.  When I open them in QuickTime, they are black - no video.  But when I see them on the drive and press spacebar in 'finder' to play them, I can see the video.
    5.  When I import them into FCE they are black - no video - just audio.
    FCE is currently set (in Easy Setup) to:  AVCHD-Apple Intermediate Codec 1920-1080i60
    Any help would be greatly appreciated.  I tried converting one file to mp4 and it works fine in FCE, but this takes a long, long time to convert.
    thanks
    There is a 2nd issue that may relate to this:  I am trying to import JVC .m4v files and I am getting "File error 1 file(s) recognized, 0 access denied, 1 unkown".  These files CAN be opened in Quicktime.
    FCE HD 4.0.1
    Mac OS 10.6.8

    I'm having similar, but slightlly different issues.
    I have been using FCE 4 on Mac OSX 10.7.5 with Quicktime 10.1 (501.29).
    I convert my footage in Mpeg Streamclip (GREAT free program) and set the files to the Apple Intermediate Codec.  This makes them work really well in my timeline and I don't have rendering issues or problems.
    So, my problem comes when I File/Export/Quictime Movie.
    The original file plays fine, but they're 2-3 gbs each, so I put them into Quicktime to convert them to a webfriendly size, but every single time they come out as an audio only file.  GRRRR!
    Any help would be greatly appreciated.  Maybe I'm missing something stupid.
    Thanks so much for your help.
    Sincerely,
    Steve

  • SD only from DVD SP? is this True?

    I recently heard a rumor that it is not possible to output HD content from DVD SP
    - it is an SD DVD authoring program. Period. No HD options.
    Is this true?

    There are two DVD-Video formats: DVD and HD DVD. DVD-Video IS an SD only delivery format. Period. HD DVD is now obsolete. Blu-ray is not DVD. Blu-ray is Blu-ray.
    To restate:
    DVD is SD only. It's always been that way.
    HD DVD is HD and is now obsolete having been abandoned by the group of manufacturers that supported it. However, DVD-SP will author HD DVDs that will play on most Macs and a couple of (now obsolete) HD DVD players from Toshiba.
    Blu-ray is NOT DVD. Blu-ray is an entirely different delivery format. The only thing it has in common with DVD is that it's delivered on optical disc (but not the same type of disc as DVD or HD DVD).

  • Left Audio Only From Headphones Jack With External Speakers

    Yes, the balance is set properly under the sound system preferences.
    So here's the problem, I have JBL Encounter speakers connected via the headphone jack and since yesterday only the left speaker produces sound.
    I've plugged my ipod into the JBL speakers and they work fine. I've also used headphones with my computer and again, left audio only.
    I've even switched the right and left satellite speakers and again only left audio is produced... though on the right (side) satellite.
    Any thoughts on how to correct this? The nearest apple store is 2 and 1/2 hours away so I'd prefer not to go if there is another fix.
    My three month phone service is up but I'm still covered under the apple care for a few more months.
    Thanks in advance.

    Sounds as if your headphone jack is either defective or has been damaged by having a cord yanked at some stage, Kanji
    It is either a trip to your nearest AASP or a mailing box from Apple to get it resolved. Applecare will cover it if the problem isn't due to accidental damage (though a cat tripping on the cord can be enough to produce such results and the price could accordingly be substantial as the port is mounted on the logicboard on recent MBPs as I understand it) .
    You might want to try a regular pair of headphones in the socket to make sure the problem also occurs with them, too, though.
    Cheers
    Rod
