Extracting Audio From Copy-Protected DVD

I am doing the audio mastering of a feature film I've made. I'm wanting to extract the audio of a DVD I purchased so that I can see the wave form, study the audio dynamics, and see if I can attempt to match some of the eq characteristics toward my own film.
Does anyone know how to be able to, again, directly extract the audio from DVD material for this purpose? I not only have Logic Pro 7, but I also have Final Cut Studio and all the apps that come with it. I also have Peak 4, Toast 6, and Waveburner. Can I use any of these apps (if not Logic itself) to accomplish this taks? And if so . . . how?
Thank you very much in advance for all the responses,
Javier Calderon

HI there!
Right, the way i understand it, you need to get the macro (protection) off the DVD...well, there are ways to do that. I guess the best for you is a software that automatically converts VOB into Avi or Mpeg (both of which will have the sound embedded). Then you can convert such file into Quicktime Pro as .mov (or just use them as such in Final Cut and extract audio form video...)
The only mac soft i know that does that is Handbrake, and it's a free soft, so you shouldn't have trouble finding it. Still, you may still have to bypass the macro, as I'm not sure Handbrake will let you convert a protected disc. There is another software that will delete data protection and zone info and create a folder containing the VOB. MacTheRipper is only for "backing up" purpose, and should not be used to rip DVDs, but since it's your own material, it's fine for you to use it.
Still overall, this will be a lengthy procedure, seeing as you have to rip/copy/convert/extract.
Have you considered playing your DVD off a DVD player and recording the sound straight into the computer in real time?

DVD rip from copy protected dvds

I am trying to rip my tv shows i purchased on dvd to my ipod... i have a macbook pro... its new and i am used to windows. I searched through the forums to find a software to allow the decryption... but all i found was windows software.
MacBook Pro 17 Mac OS X (10.4.7) i have no idea what the inside of my computer is

I have a 30GB video iPod and a Powerbook. I use a program called DVD2Pod. It's free and it's awesome, easy, and quick. The link to the download is http://www.macupdate.com/info.php/id/20275.
I've used it to rip my DVDs of both TV shows and feature length movies. It's a great program.

Extract audio from a DVD how to

Is there a FREE and ease way to extract audio from a DVD?
Thank you

Set a tape recorder next to your speaker? Seriously, though - what kind of DVD? If it's a commercial DVD, it's copyright protected and people here shouldn't give you advice on how to do it. There are other places besides Apple's discussion forums to get that kind of info, and I don't see why this question belongs in "Using Mac OSX Leopard" in the first place.

Extract audio from dvd

I am trying to extract audio from a DVD I have previously made, when I open it there is nothing in the Audio_TS file. I have seen the previous post about video files. http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=596051&tstart=15
I would imagine that it would work the same way. I tried streamclip but it says I am missing a the mpeg-2 component. I did not think I needed this for a non-comercial DVD,
I would like a simple way to use a sound clip off a dvd if that is possible. thanks

follow Daniel's excellent suggestion (hardware solution).
to get just the audio (parts of) from a DVD is no trivial task…
the mpeg2 playback component is needed, because that is the codec in use on any videoDVD
the AUDIO_TS is allways empty on a videoDVD, it is only in use for SuperAudioDVDs.. (rare HiFi format)
the audio of a dvd is well hidden, "woven", muxxded (=tech term) into a data stream… tools as mentioned bbdemuxx demux that stream, in a second step you have to convert the file into something... usefull....
get a few cables, as Daniel said...
Plan C)
invest in tools as Ambrosia's Wiretap which records any sound, your Mac produces... you playback the DVD on your Mac, and you record simultanously the sound... needs additional $$ software and the same amount of time as Daniel's suggestion…

I created in iMovie, and extracted audio from one of the clips to use in the title sequence. All is well, export to iDVD and it plays OK, but when I burn the DVD the audio for the titles does not play. Any suggestions?

Copy-Protecting DVDs against piracy in DVD Studio Pro; or otherwise ?

Copy-Protecting DVDs against piracy in DVD Studio Pro; or otherwise ?
I'm about to start encoding to MPEG2 a very important project that I've edited in Final Cut Pro.
It is vital that it cannot be copied by the client or I could lose a lot of money.
In the past this has never been a concern, but in this case it is very important.
What is the best way to prevent a client/people from copying your DVDs?
Is there anything I can do within DVD Studio Pro or is there anything the Replication house can do at the Glass-Mastering stage?
I'm sure this topic has been covered, but a quick search found nothing.
Thanks guys.

Common problem but no easy answer. It's simply too easy to get around.
If you want to prevent finished master disks being copied in the same way commercial disks are then you will need to get them made at a duplication facility. Not cheap. You can't do it in DVD studio, it's to do with the disk burner.
On a feature film it is very important to prevent copies of work in progress. What a lot of cutting rooms do is make dvd's with the name of the person burnt in and a copy number. Often a large X with 30% opacity is put in the middle of frame.
This can't stop copies being made but at least you will know where they came from. It also seems to make the person who's name is burnt in take more care.
Sorry but thats the best I can offer.

If all you want is to create a backup of some file you can do:public class Foo
    public static void main(String[] args) {
        Foo f = new Foo();
        f.createBackup("something.xls");
    public void createBackup(String inFile) {
        FileInputStream in = null;
        FileOutputStream out = null;
        try {
            in = new FileInputStream(inFile);
            out = new FileOutputStream(inFile + ".bak");
            int read;
            while ((read = in.read()) > -1) {
                out.write(read);
            out.flush();
        } catch (FileNotFoundException e) {
            e.printStackTrace();
        } catch (IOException e) {
            e.printStackTrace();
        } finally {
            if (in != null) {
                try {
                    in.close();
                } catch (IOException e) {
                    e.printStackTrace();
            if (out != null) {
                try {
                    out.close();
                } catch (IOException e) {
                    e.printStackTrace();

Extracting audio from video clip to use as narration?

Hi there,
I have a video clip in which I want to take the audio of actor speaking and put it onto another video.
I.e. he is speaking about walking in the park. I want to take him speaking about walking in the park and put it onto the clip where he is actually walking in the park.
How do I do this in premiere elements 10?

Hi Bill,
Thanks for the quick response. I guess my question now is how would I do those two things?
In terms of exporting the audio, where can I find that option when I'm on timeline?
What do you mean by "Alt-click" and what is a "muxed file"?
Thanks again,
Mallory

Welcome to the forum. There are several ways to accomplish this, and your choice might well rest on how you like to work, and what you are doing, such as Deleteing Video. First, you could Export/Share just the Audio as a PCM/WAV @ 48KHz 16-bit, from your Timeline, and Import that into a New Project, where the Audio WAV file would be used. OTOH, you could Atl-click on the Video portion of the muxed file, and Delete the Video, leaving only the Audio portion. Good luck, Hunt

Recording just audio from a video DVD

I thought I was ordering a CD with the music of a Broadway show. It turns out to have been a DVD of the entire production.
How do I get just the audio from the DVD into iTunes? And while I'm at it, once I get the audio, I'll need to strip the dialogue, and I haven't got any idea how to do that, either!
Hope someone can help!
Jimper

You can use Audio Hijack to record the audio from the Apple DVD player, which can be sent directly to iTunes as an ACC or AIFF file.
http://www.rogueamoeba.com/audiohijack/
Stripping the "dialog" (assuming dialog is spoken commentary during the performance??) will be much more difficult. There are techniques to use a an audio editing program such as Audacity
http://audacity.sourceforge.net/
to invert a one side of a stereo track to remove vocals for Karaoke, but the sound quality will be greatly diminished, the bass and even the vocals may be removed.
So if there is "dialog" on all of the songs it may be cheaper to buy the CD.
Hope this helps.

Extracting audio from many clips at a time

I have to extract some audio from many many video clips, so I was attempting to do it in one step, but Logic extract only from one clip at a time
So I'm thinking to use Audio Converter (it can extract audio from many clips in one step), but it ask me the AIFF encoding Bitrate (among 64 and 192 kbps). So I'm wondering... but Logic which AIFF bitrate manages???
Tnks

yes, it is possible. Infact, it is the normal practice to add those 10 roles to that single user in SU01 direclty.
and as I said, user comparison should be scheduled normally in SAP system landscape to do the things automatically, however not immediately but after some time.
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04/helpdata/en/52/6714a9439b11d1896f0000e8322d00/content.htm
If you want user comparison immediately, then you need to do it manually in the role.

Use QuickTime Pro to extract audio from VCD

Can I use QuickTime Pro to extract the audio from a VCD? after that, I would like to convert that audio file to an mp3.

MPEG Streamclip is exactly what I needed. Thank you!
For others with the same need, here's my workflow for Extracting Audio from a VCD:
* Pop the vcd into a computer and open it up.
* Navigate to the MPEGAV folder. You should see something like AVSEQ01.DAT.
* rename that to AVSEQ01.mpg
* Drag this new .mpg file into MPEG Streamclip
* File/Export Audio . . .
* Open up Audacity (optional)
* File/Open . . .
* direct it to the newly created .mp3
* Trim off any extra audio (I didn't want the opening credits, etc. on the .mp3)
* File/Export as .mp3

Extracting audio from premier project is not automatically opening in audition .How to reset this

I was using the feature of extracting audio from a time line in Premier for working on noise reduction and so on .It used to open automatically on choosing
" EDIT CLIP IN AUDITION" and on "saving" it was ready in Premier for further action. Now this is not happening. What happened and how do I reset this feature please?

Not a reply but some more input. The culprit is not Safari but iChat, which I discovered just now, having run the app and quit after the person I was inviting wasn't available. I'm grateful for anyone who shed some light on this for me.
All the best,
David

Extracting audio from short clips

My previous post/question seems to have disappeared so I apologise for a repeat: I'm noticing (and this started happening just recently) that it takes now about 10 minutes to extract audio from even very short clips (10 seconds long, say). It used to be clip-length-dependent, now it's flat 10 minutes no matter how short the clip. It's driving me nuts because it's an enormous slowdown of the workflow.
Anybody has seen this and knows about a workaround?

it takes now about 10 minutes to extract audio from even very short clips (10 seconds long, say)
Is the underlying media clip also 10 seconds? Or is it much larger and just edited down to 10 seconds?
iMovie HD extracts audio from the WHOLE underlying media clip but displays just the part that is not edited off. So extraxting audio can take time when deailing with such clips.
Do a test: Export the just the selected 10 second clip as Full Quality DV and import it back (so the media clip really is just 10 seconds). Then extract audio from that 10 second clip. Is it any faster?
