How to play dvd-audio or dvd-a discs on iMac?

How do I go about playing dvd-audio encoded discs on my iMac? I have been unsuccessful in finding a decoder that will recognize this format. I don't want to invest in ripper software unless I KNOW it will read and convert this format. Many thanks.

I can play my DVD Audio discs on my MacBook Pro. On all my DVD Audio discs it shows DVD Audio and Dolby Digital. When I insert a DVD Audio disc the DVD player opens and plays the disc. Rou will only get Dolby Digital sound quality though and not DVD Audio sound quality.

[SOLVED] Rip or play back audio/video DVD

Recently I bought a DVD that contains audio content as well as video content. On the packaging it says that it is in the "DVD Audio/Video" format.
Today I wanted to rip or at least play back this DVD on my computer. When inserting a "normal" video DVD into the disk drive, the DE which I am using (Gnome 3.12) displays a notification that offers the possibility to start playback of the inserted DVD. No such notification was displayed for the DVD in question.
Since anyway my original intention was to rip the DVD to my hard drive, this didn't bother me much and I started looking for a program for ripping DVDs. This research resulted in me installing dvd::rip.
Unfortunately, upon trying to the read the table of contents of the DVD, dvd::rip displays the below error message:
Job 'Determine number of titles' failed with error message:
Command exits with failure code:
Command: execflow tcprobe -H 10 -i \/dev\/sr0 && echo EXECFLOW_OK
Output: libdvdread: Could not open /dev/sr0 with libdvdcss.
libdvdread: Can't open /dev/sr0 for reading
[[31;1mtcprobe[0m][31;1m critical[0m: unrecognized filetype for '/dev/sr0'
While googling for problems with DVD playback in Arch, I came across some generic solutions that didn't solve the problem, namely adding my user to the audio, video, and optical groups as well as installing packages for handling DVDs (libdvdread, libdvdcss, libdvdnav).
Is there someone who has managed to rip or play back DVDs in the "DVD Audio/Video" format?

Can you mount the disk and see its file system? If it is a DVD, you should be able to do this, regardless of and CSS.
Is there any chance this a VCD (Video CD)?

How to play multiple audio tracks simultaneously?

Hi there,
I am having problem with playing multiple audio tracks. I want to play 2 or more audio tracks at exact time (without delay) - is it possible? how can it be done?

So, essentially, you're trying to take a recording of say, a singer and a guitar player, and end up with the singer in one file and the guitar in the other. Got it.
[http://java.sun.com/javase/technologies/desktop/media/jmf/2.1.1/solutions/Merge.html]
That sample will merge multiple input files into a single file. Because you want to play the files together rather than save them, just take the sample and strip out all of the DataSink stuff, and add the following line right after the Processor "outputProcessor" is realized...
outputProcessor.setContentDescriptor(null);
So, it'll make the following revision to the code:
     // Create the output processor
     ProcessorModel outputPM = new MyPMOut(merger);
     try {
         outputProcessor = Manager.createRealizedProcessor(outputPM);
                    outputProcessor.setContentDescriptor(null);
         outputDataSource = outputProcessor.getDataOutput();
     } catch (Exception exc) {
         System.err.println("Failed to create output processor: " + exc);
         System.exit(-1);
     }That'll make the outputProcessor play the file, as if it was a Player object. You won't have any visual controls, but if you need visual controls, then don't do that, and just create a Player object to play the outputDataSource.

How can play one of my DVD movies on my ipad?

How can I play DVD moviesv on my iPad 2-16 GB WI-FI ??? I Am not too computer savvy:(

The easiest way would be to buy iTunes copies. Or subscribe to Netflix or other streaming service.
Converting commercial DVDs to the MP4's that the iPad will play requires a person to crack the copy protection encoding. And since that act is illegal in many parts of the world, no one here can tell you how to do it.
Now if you have a homemade dvd, something not protected, you can look into a program like Handbrake to convert the formats

How to play an audio file from the begin.........

Hello to everybody,
I am working on a application that is supposed to manage audio file. At the moment I 'm using the SourceDataLine instead of the Clip. But I've got a problem. When the user pushes the Stop button I want that if he pushes Play again the track starts from the begin. I've used the drain() and flush() method but it doesn't work because the track resumes from the point when has been interrupted. Here part of the code:
@Override
public void run()
try
if(dataline!=null)
dataline.open(audio_format);
dataline.start();
int i=0;
while((i=audio_input_stream.read(buffer, 0, buffer.length))!=-1 && flag==false)
if(i>0)
dataline.write(buffer, 0, i);
dataline.drain();
dataline.stop();
dataline.flush();
dataline=null;
dataline.close();
And also I'd like to know how to navigate through the audio file by a slider or something like that, so how much time is passed.
Thank you in advance.

I've tried to use it but I found out that if I use quite large wav files an exception is thrown, Aha! I expected as much. That is why I developed BigClip.
..so I thought to change to SourceDataLine even if Clip has the right stuff to manage my audio files. So what do you suggest? Is there a way to avoid such problem? I mean, how can I be sure that I'm able to use every wav files? Not every WAV file can be opened using SourceDataLine, but if SDL can open it, so can BigClip.

How to play an audio file when a sprite is clicked

I am designing a Director movie in order to learn how to use the program. My question is how can I make a small audio file play when the user clicks on a sprite? I believe it is done via a small script. My second question is similar. How can I make the movie play a sound when the cursor hoovers upon a sprite? Can you help, please? Thanks in advance.

Hi Ibrahim,
Rob has pointed you to the Lingo for playing a sound. There is a behavior in the Library Palette that makes this very easy without needing to write a script yourself. In the Media > Sound category, there is a 'Play Sound' behavior. You can click and drag this behavior onto a sprite and then in the Parameters dialog, you can choose the sound to play, the channel in which it should play, the event to activate the sound, and if you want the sound to loop.

How to play mp4 audio files as video on my iPod Touch?

I know you are all thinking that this is a stupid question based on the topic, but I have videos for some reason that are in the form of mp4 audio, but they are video when I play them on my computer. I can open these videos (mp4 audio instead of mp4 video) using Windows Media Player and it's not just audio, there is also video. However, whenever I try to sync it to my iPod, it shows up in my music section instead of videos. If i play the video under music, all I see is the white iTunes background, no video. Is there anyway for me to set these files to be recognized as video and store it under my movies category?
Thanks.

First, go into Get Info and change the Media Kind on the Options tab to tell iTunes that this is a video. Next, you need to sync this item from the Video tab on your iPod detail in iTunes (i.e. don't sync it as if it was a Music item). If you sync all video content then this will happen automatically once you change the Media Kind. But if you only sync part of your video library, make sure you include this video in the sync selection.
If you still have problems, you may need to convert the video for iPod playback, even if it plays fine in iTunes. If that's the case, right-click on the video and you'll see an option to convert for iPod use, which will make a copy (so make sure you know which version to sync to the iPod, or simply delete the original).

How to play other audio files in Podcasts app?

Hi all. Whenever I add audiobooks or recordings of radio shows to my iPhone, they go into the Music app. However, this doesn't have a placeholder function (that is, it doesn't remember at which you point you paused the file) or a sleep timer like the Podcasts app does. I find this really annoying, especially the lack of placeholder. Is there any way to get these things to play from Podcasts instead? I've searched on this but can't find any other questions about it. Surely other people find this irritating as well? Hoping there is some solution, maybe using a third party app?

Close Windows Media Player. Make sure you know where the song files are on your hard drive. Use the iTunes command File > Add File (or Folder) to Library.
If they are MP3s they will add directly to your iTunes library. If they are non-protected WMA files, they will be automatically converted and added. If they are something else, "measures" must be taken...
Let is know how this works!

How to play next audio book file/chapter?

Trying to setup an ipad2 for my mother and load some of her audio books on it. The audio books are mostly in mp3 format with some being in m4a. Books are marked as audio book format.
Problem is that when placed on the ipad and accessed by going through music -> more -> audio books, the books appear, selecting one shows all files/parts of the book, but when playing, it does not advance to next file. Particular problem in which some books are split into 3 minute chunks per file.
Taking the same files and placing them on my ipod 5.5, they play fine and auto-advance fine.
Any ideas?
Ipad 2 w/ iOS 5

iOs 5 Bug identified...
After selecting an audio book, if you select a file/chapter directly, it will play only that file/chapter and NOT continue to the next one. Also, no icon (speaker) is shown for the files/chapter being played.
If instead you press the play button at top left (not main focus on screen), then the book starts playing from beginning, an icon is present next to file/chapter, and the files/chapter are played sequentially automatically.

How to play an audio file through a button?

I have a form in which I have a button (Command object). When the user clicks on this command button it is supposed to play a wav file. The wav is residing in my hard disk at "C:\tada.wav"
I have tried to include the following code in the commandAction() method, which technically is the right way of performing this operation:
But I get a warning when I compile saying that this operation should be performed in a seperate thread as opposed to commandAction().
if(c == cmdPlay)
try
String wav = "file:///c:/tada.wav";
Player p = Manager.createPlayer(wav);
p.start();
catch (IOException x)
x.printStackTrace();
} catch (MediaException x) {
x.printStackTrace();
Can anyone please tell me how to implement this solution properly or just suggest a new way of creating a "play" button in my form? Urgent HELP NEEDED PLEASE!
THANKS.
