Importing DVD Audio

I have a DVD audio disc that I'd like to bring into iTunes. I was wondering if I would be able to do that easily. Since it opens with DVD Player on the Mac and not iTunes, I'm guessing not. Anyone have any ideas? It seems that there should be a conversion method...

iTunes will not import directly from an audio DVD. There are other programs, such as Handbrake, which can convert unprotected disks. If this is a commercially-produced DVD-A disk, though, it's probably copy-protected (most are) in which case we can't discuss that further in these forums.
Regards.

Importing/converting DVD-Audio/Dual Discs

Hello, this is my first post.
I just got the 30 GB Video Ipod today.
I am not having any luck with iTunes importing and converting my dvd-audio/dual discs.
The CD side gets recognized by iTunes but sounds VERY scratchy when it is converted to a format to put on my ipod. Strangely, it also sounds scratchy when I play it on windows media player or any other software player. It also goes silent for a bit sometimes. But it plays fine outside of my computer (e.g. my car) and it isnt scratched.
I flipped it over to the DVD side and iTunes doesn't recognize it so I can't import and convert it. The DVD side sounds fine though when I play the audio on my computer or on an outside player (e.g. my car).
Is there anything I can do?

Have a look at this thread:

Import From Audio DVD ?

I bought a audion DVD a few years ago that was some new kind of high quality DVD audio. It's Tommy by The Who and contains all the songs supposedly in a higher quality. I want to import this into iTunes but I can't. The DVD has a AUDIO_TS and VIDEO_TS files. Can I use a generic DVD copy program to extract this type of DVD audio into iTunes ?
I tried OSEx without any luck. I also tried HandBrake which read everything off the Audio DVD into a single MP4 file. What I need is all 42 song in individual audio files so I can get them into iTunes.

Since my last anwer I've used OsEx a 'free' /Open Source program, I believe.
It works beautifully - will grab songs from A/V DVDs at Title/Chapter/even angle level very easily
I then use MPegStreamclip to convert the AC3 to AIFF or other useful format which it does very, very quickly on my Intel 20 IMac From there I usually go to iTunes.
Best of luck (and, of course I can't guarantee that this'll work with 'Tommy' but if this plays in a 'normal DVD player it must conform to the DVD Spec and therefore you shave to be able to work with it).
MPegStreamclip also makes it very easy* to 'Break up monolithic 200MB-600MB DVD/AC3 and other files into individual songs...
Best of luck.

From your statements above, it sounds like you never tried to burn a CD for at least the first year that you owned the laptop, as it had a one year warranty on it. While you might have used it frequently to install software, play DVDs, Blu-Ray disks, etc, that's unclear from your statements. Nonetheless, it might just be dirty-dusty. So, before deleting-uninstalling any software, and given they're cheap, try a CD-DVD Cleaner Disk first and see if that resolves your problems.
Let us know what happens. Good luck.

No import from audio cd

itunes - latest version 7.1.1 - freezes on import of audio files from cd, does not matter whether original new cd's or self burned. have to exit with force quit,
when I then try to copy an audio file from the cd via drag-and-drop to the computer, I receive an error message, error -36, telling me that there is aproblem in reading the file.
deleted all itunes preferences in the library folder, did not change anything
then repaired permissions on the volume, great, could import one cd, on the second itunes freezes again.
needed to repair permissions again, great, can import another cd
so now I have to repair permissions every time I want to import audio files
I have no problems importing mp3 files
anybody here, who knows how to fix this annoying problem?
G4 titanium power book Mac OS X (10.4.9)

does itunes make use of other programs in reading
cd's, would it make sense to delete preferences of
such progs?
It doesn't look like that's the case. It appears to all be handled by threads inside iTunes. So I don't think you'd be able to find the preferences to delete.
one more thing, the problem of not being able to copy
audiofiles from cd to hd only occurs when I have
tried to import the cd into itunes, fresh inserted cd
will allow to copy audio files, but once I have tried
itunes, it is no longer possible, so obviously itunes
screws up something.
My guess, and it's just a guess, is that there's a bug in the CD/DVD drive on those machines, or a bug in the driver for that hardware and iTunes causes the problem to show up. If you know someone with an external USB or Firewire drive, you might try borrowing it and see if it works.
You could also try this software:
http://www.sbooth.org/Max/
and see if it behaves any differently. Maybe it accesses the audio in a different way.
I have no idea why it was fine with the old HD, but it doesn't work with the new one. Perhaps it's a question of how some part of the OS gets loaded into RAM because the 120GB drive needs more RAM or something. But that's just another wild guess.

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.

Import DVD Video_TS folder contents?

G'day,
I'm a film student at Griffith Uni, AU... Over 2006 I produced a few short films. The only copies I have of them are burnt onto DVDs using DVD Studio Pro.
What I wish to now do is consolidate them onto a single disc. The problem I have is that Final Cut doesn't seem to import the audio track.
Is there something I'm doing wrong, or is there another way/program that can do what I am trying?
Thanks
Travis

DSP can't import mpg files which is with embedded data (mv2 +wav,mpa or whatever) so use StreamClip to demux. there is no conversion, or reencoding, so wait a few seconds and from your original movie mpg you'll have m2v + audio file... then import to DSP... thats all.
and use only 1 audio standart in all project. (you'll be mo nearly to DVD standart) for ex. if menu has ac3 audio - then movie must have ac3 audio.
have a nice day. and happy new year

I need import dvd content to compressor or FCP to re encode for web

I need import dvd content to compressor or FCP to re encode for web
Is there a short cut?
When I tried, only the video went as the audio seems to be embedded. How can I encode a DVD to and Mpeg4 file with the audio?
Thank you all in advance.

Google MPEG Streamclip. It's free and works! This questions gets asked a lot. Take advantage of search when you can.

If it is a commercial video DVD, it cannot be ripped by iTunes (or any other legal program).
If it is a DVD containing MP3 files, open the DVD in Windows, and drag the files to your desktop. Then remove the DVD from your computer, and add the files to iTunes the normal way.

Importing Dvd based music cd's

I am trying to figure out a way to import a dvd based disc i purchased. I didn't even realize until after i bought the music that the disc were dvd disc. There are no videos or anything it just says it is "enhanced" for 5.1 surround. any help? Much appreciated.

iTunes cannot import from a DVD Audio disk. You'll have to look for a utility that can capture and save the audio stream as it's playing; there are some for Macs and I'm sure equivalents exist for Windows though I can't give you any titles.

Error messages during burning DVD audio

When burning a musical DVD audio 96/24 in Toast imported from an i Tunes playlist I get the message:" file VTS-06 etc inaccessable .
Data Fork -39 , plus a Mac system error. Mostly the error occurs during burning , sometimes during simulation but this happens rarely.
Can someone tell me where the problem is. many thanks

Here's what the Help Menu offers:
Exporting a movie to iDVD
Once your movie is ready for viewing, iMovie HD can automatically export it to an iDVD project that you can burn on a DVD. You can then view your DVD on a television using a DVD player or on your computer screen using the Apple DVD Player.
Note: Before you export your movie to iDVD, you can add chapter markers to it so that viewers can quickly review different sections of the movie on DVD. If you've added chapter markers, they are exported with your movie, and you can use them to add scene selection menus to your iDVD project.
Not all computers support iDVD. See your computer's manual to find out if your computer does.
To export your movie to iDVD:
Choose Share > iDVD.
Click the "Share selected clips only" checkbox if you only want to share clips you selected.
Click Share.
iDVD opens and your movie appears in a new project in iDVD.
For more information about using iDVD, choose Help > iDVD Help when iDVD is open.

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.

Dvd Audio playback is slow and with pops sou

Hi, i have just got a dvd audio (night at the opera from queen ) and i want to enjot the high quality of this fromat, but with creative media source dvd audio player there's a problem in playback, i can see the lists of the song, select it, but when it plays, there's a pop sound and it's in slow play, there's a second that it plays normal but then it causes the same problem.
i have test it with windvd v6 and gives the same problem.
by the way the sample dvd disc from creative, plays normal. really it's amazing that sound.
I have read many reviews about the copy protection issue, and i think that's the problem, i don't if anyone of you, have played the queen dvd audio?.
the version of the media source dvd audio player is .50.08.
Where can i dowload the latest version of the dvd audio player. i think the last one is .52.04, but i can't find in creative web site an upgrade for this version on the dvd audio media player.
my sound card is Audigy 2 zs internal sound card. and i have the latest drivers and aplicaciones from creative web site upgraded

Hi,
I have the same problem since December 2011 with a similar Mainboard (Asus M4A78T-E).
Did you resolve your problem?
Thanks

DVD-Audio player does not detect any DVD-Audio sour

Hi,
I am trying to play a DVD-Audio disc on my computer using the DVD-Audio player software that came with my Audigy 2 card, but the software fails to detect my DVD-ROM dri've as a DVD-Audio source.
I can play audio CDs and DVDs with no problems using the DVD-ROM dri've.
The OS is WindowsXP Pro with SP and I have the latest patches applied to both driver and DVD-Audio player software.
I would appreciate any suggestions if someone experienced this anoying problem and solved it.
Thank a lot!

DVD Audio encryption security has unfortunately been hacked using the decoders within WinDVD from Intervideo.
As a result, DVD Audio playback using the WinDVD/Audigy combination has been suspended on "new" versions of the software.
I am a registered user of WinDVD and upgraded to WinDVD 7 Platinum in June and DVD Audio was working fine.
I mistakenly downloaded an "upgrade" to WinDVD 7 at the end of July and found all my DVD Audio discs failed to play.
Intervideo (as usual) refused to respond to my technical support queries when I enquired as to whether the DVD audio support was removed in view of the breach of the DVDA encryption.
Thankfully the previous version was still available for download (after much searching on the web) - WinDVD.Platinum.7.0.Release.2.Build 27.07Using a new activation key from the Intervideo website STILL didn't enable DVDA playback on this previous version however.......... I was able to fudge this using the original purchase activation key by changing the PC system date to within 0 days of my initial activation key supply which I had stored in an email.Hey presto - back to WinDVD DVDA support!Intervideo are being very crafty.... they have updated the WinDVD website to remove all references to DVD Audio support and then were answering my technical support queries as if I wasn't configuring my PC correctly.
What versions of DVD Audio playback software are you using?
Creative DVDAudio player? WinDVD (version?)
