Need help getting audio off of a dvd...

[You can skip this paragraph if you don't need the backstory.]
So, for several weeks I've been trying to get some audio off of a DVD of mine and into a simple mp3 file. A couple days ago I found and followed this guide, and thought I had succeeded. But after a while I realized that the file I got does not play nice with my handheld mp3 player, or mpd, or mplayer, or anything whatsoever that is not gstreamer-based. MPD goes especially berserk - after playing the file, it can no longer play anything else until I reboot (yes reboot - restarting mpd doesn't fix anything). I should also mention that I'm aware that the guide is not 100% correct; I followed the advice and corrections of some commentors there too.
Anyways, I guess I need to ask for help with this. How would you go about getting audio off of a DVD?

I usually use the following command to rip a music dvd to wav:
OUTPUTDIR="/Some/Rip/Dir"
TITLE=2
FIRST_CHAPTER=1
LAST_CHAPTER=13
CHAPTER=$FIRST_CHAPTER
AUDIO_ID=128
echo "Ripping Audio..."
while [ $CHAPTER -le $LAST_CHAPTER ]; do
let NO=$CHAPTER
mplayer -dvd-device /dev/dvd1 dvd://$TITLE -vo null -vc null -ao pcm:waveheader:file=$OUTPUTDIR/track$NO.wav -af lavcresample=44100 -aid $AUDIO_ID -chapter $CHAPTER-$CHAPTER
let CHAPTER=CHAPTER+1
done
Resampling to 44100 is important since most mp3 players cannot handle 48000.
Then I have another little script that converts it to flac, sets the correct tags, and finally converts the flac to oggs as well..

  • E56 screen broken - need help getting number off p...

    I hope someone can help me. The screen on my E65 has broken and I need to get the number off the phone before sending it to be repaired. Without a screen I am flying blind so have no idea what keys I need to be pressing.
    I have tried connecting the phone to my PC with PC Suite but the PC software doesn't recognise the the phone has been connected. Is there something I need to do on the phone to complete the connection?
    The other way to get the number would be to copy them from the phone memory to the SIM. Can anyone tell me the key presses I need to do to achieve that?
    Help gratefully received.
    ...Neil

    When you connect your phone to your pc with the usb cable, a list if connection mode options normally appears on your phone display. You need to select  "Pc Suite". What you could do is plug in phone to usb, select. If that doesn;t work, disconnect, reconnect scroll down one and select again. Keep trying until it finally connects to PCSuite. There are only 4-5 options so you won;t have to try that many times.

  • Need help getting video on a mini DVD to my MacBook????

    i am trying to find a way to download the video (& audio), which is on a mini DVD in my video camera, to my MacBook. I have my Sony Handycam connected directly to my MacBook...In the past, i have used Diva to get the video on my laptop, but the problem with Diva is that it does not do sound only video... Somebody please help me.........thank you

    you have to solve two problems:
    never ever put miniDVDs into slot-in drives (as in iMacs or laptops) => buy any external dvd-drive..
    second, conversion of (finalized) DVDs:
    copy/paste:
    for using the iLife vers. ≤6 apps, you have to convert'em first, in recommended order, choose one of the following tools/workarounds:
    DVDxDV (free trial, 25$, Pro: 90$)
    Apple mpeg2 plugin (19$) + Streamclip (free)
    VisualHub (23.32$)
    Drop2DV (free, requires installation of ffmpeg parts, google for it...)
    Toast 6/7/8/9 allows converting to dv/insert dvd, hit apple-k
    connect a miniDV Camcorder with analogue input to a DVD-player and transfer disk to tape/use as converter
    old apps:
    Cinematize >60$
    Mpeg2Works >25$ + Apple plug-in

    none of these methods or tools override copy protection/DRM mechanisms.. advice on 'ripping' is a violation of the ToU of this board ..

  • Old iPhone3 - need help getting photos off of it

    I have an old iPhone3 that has been decommissioned, so it does not have cell service but can access email via wireless network. It has photos that I want to save off of it on to my computer. My computer via USB, does not see it but iTunes does. It has an old iOS on it so it keeps wanting to update the iOS. I tried backing it up but it does not seem to back up anything as it takes less than 5 seconds to back up 14 gig of music and photos. When I tried to use the back up file to transfer the photos, the file was empty.
    How do I get my photos?
    I don't want to sync and lose all of those photos because I get the warning that it will lose everything. So how do I get my computer to see the photos? The computer does not give me an auto-start option to configure in the settings because it does not SEE the phone as existing.

    Are the photos in your camera roll or your photo library? photos in the photo library album where already synced and have to be unsunc they cannot be deleted. photos in your camera roll can be imported. if your using a windows computer connect to the computer and clickimprot pictures and videos/scanner and camera wizard in the autoplay box. if autoplay doesn't pop up u can go to my computer and right click on your device and select improt pictures and videos/scanner and camera wizard.
    aperature or iphoto can be used with OSX
    also your phone does not need to be recognized by itunes to import pictures.  If your computer as well does not recognize your phone that is a different story

    How difficult is it for you to do a google image search for large images of this subject?
    While you appear to be doing this project for an educational endeavour and can get away with mild copyright abuse as "fair use", you probably should not expect the participants in this forum to 1) work for Disney either as a direct employee or as a contractor and 2) offer their copyrighted work for free.
    If you really want to impress a teacher and a future employer, you would use your own art. Why dont you create your own movie concept? Suppose you and your classmate are up for the same employment position. Who do you think will get hired if you show work that is not all your own, while your classmate has produced all of his/her own work?

  • Need help getting audio to play

    I dragged two audio files to a page in my site, but all I get is a tiny, blue Quicktime symbol with no ability to play the files after I've published the site. I use my own domain name, not a .mac account.
    I've tried this twice - once with the files as they were, listed as mpegs, and another after converting those to mp3s. I get the same results each time.
    Any suggestions on what I need to fix? The site is at: http://LivinginRhyme.com. Audio is on *Radio show interviews.*

    Well, that's interesting. I've went and tried it again, and I can't access anything via Safari, but I now realize I can using Firefox (though, yeah, it takes way too long to load). What browser did you use?
    Is there anything I can do so this works with Safari - and any other browser someone may use?

  • Need help getting music off ipod

    I used to have 2 libraries on my itunes (mine & hubby's). Now it only shows hubby's music library - no classical. How do I get the missing music that is on my ipod back in the itunes library so I can sync my new ipod and get all the music?

    You will need a third-party utility such as Pod To Mac, Disk Aid, or Phone Disk - MacUpdate or CNET Downloads.

  • Need help getting files off of a corrupted ipod

    I have a 40gb 4th Gen Ipod that is not synced to any Itunes....my old computer recently passed away. Like a retard, I never backed any of the files up. So, I tried to use 3rd party software...(I can't remember which one) and the software could not transfer the files because they are "corrupted". The strange clicking noises and the fact that I've had to reset my Ipod various times in the last couple weeks makes me think that this Ipod is on it's way out.....but I want to save the 20gb of music that's on there. I've read that I should restore my ipod to orig settings.....but does that mean that all of that music on there is lost forever?

  • Replaced hard drive: need helping getting songs off ipod to itunes

    I recently had to send my computer into apple for repair, needless to say they had to replace my hard drive so i lost all of my music. However it is still on my ipod, so i was wondering if there is a way to transfer it from my ipod to my computer

    Connect your iPod to your computer. If it is set to update automatically you'll get a message that it is linked to a different library and asking if you want to link to this one and replace all your songs etc, press "Cancel". Pressing "Erase and Sync" will irretrievably remove all the songs from your iPod. When your iPod appears in the iTunes source list change the update setting to manual, that will let you use our iPod without the risk of accidentally erasing it. Check the "manually manage music and videos" box in Summary then press the Apply button. Also when using most of the utilities listed below your iPod needs to be enabled for disc use, changing to manual update will do this by default: Managing content manually on iPod
    Once you are safely connected there are a few things you can do to restore your iTunes from the iPod.
    The transfer of content from sources such as songs imported from CD is designed by default to be one way from iTunes to iPod. However there are a number of third party utilities that you can use to retrieve music files and playlists from your iPod. I use Senuti but have a look at the web pages and documentation for the others too, you'll find that they have varying degrees of functionality and some will transfer movies, videos, photos and games as well. This is just a small selection of what's available, you can read reviews and comparisons of some of them here:
    Wired News - Rescue Your Stranded Tunes
    Comparison of iPod managers
    Senuti Mac Only
    PodView Mac Only
    PodWorks Mac Only
    iPodDisk PPC Mac Only (experimental version available for Intel Macs)
    TuneAid Mac only (iPhone and iPod Touch compatible)
    iPodRip Mac & Windows
    YamiPod Mac & Windows
    Music Rescue Mac & Windows
    iPodCopy Mac & Windows
    iRepo Mac & Windows (iPhone and iPod Touch compatible)
    iPod Access Mac & Windows (iPhone and iPod Touch compatible)
    If you have any iTunes Music Store purchases the transfer of purchased content from the iPod to authorised computers was introduced with iTunes 7. You'll find details in this article: Copying iTunes Store purchases from your iPod or iPhone to a computer
    There's also a manual method of copying songs from your iPod to a Mac or PC. The procedure is a bit involved and won't recover playlists but if you're interested it's available on page 2 at this link: Copying Content from your iPod to your Computer - The Definitive Guide
    Keep your iPod in manual mode until you have reloaded your iTunes and you are happy with your playlists etc then it will be safe to return it auto-sync. I would also advise that you get yourself an external hard drive and back your stuff up, relying on an iPod as your sole backup is not a good idea and external drives are comparatively inexpensive these days, you can get loads of storage for a reasonable outlay.

  • I need to get photos off a water damaged iPhone 3GS. Can I take out the component that has the photos (is this the main board?) and put it into another of the same phone to retrieve the photos? Please help

    I need to get photos off a water damaged iPhone 3GS. It spent time underwater, saltwater. I let it dry for a week, turned it on, the apple symbol came on, then it died. I need to retrieve my photos off it. Can I take out the component that has the photos (is this the main board?) and put it into another of the same phone to retrieve the photos? Please help

    You're talking about the logic board. The two most likely things to get toasted, with water damage, are the battery(it shorts out), & the logic board. The worst water damage would be salt water. I'm afraid your logic board is toast.

  • Need help getting from 10.5.8 to 10.6.

    need help getting from 10.5.8 to 10.6.  i know i'm late to the game!

    If you are not sure of what you are doing,If you are worried about losing anything when doing a major systems upgrade/update,
    Before embarking on a major OS upgrade, it would be wise, advisable and very prudent if you backup your current system to an external connected and Mac formatted Flash drive OR externally connected USB, Thunderbolt or FireWire 800, Mac formatted hard drive. Then, use either OS X Time Machine app to backup your entire system to the external drive OR purchase, install and use a data cloning app, like CarbonCopyCloner or SuperDuper, to make an exact and bootable copy (clone) of your entire Mac's internal hard drive. This step is really needed in case something goes wrong with the install of the new OS or you simply do not like the new OS, you have a very easy way/procedure to return your Mac to its former working state.
    Older version of CarbonCopyCloner found here.
    http://mac.filehorse.com/download-carbon-copy-cloner/2734/
    Older versions of SuperDuper can be found on the SuperDuper Website and Homepage.
    http://www.shirt-pocket.com/SuperDuper/SuperDuperDescription.html
    Then, determine if your Mac meets ALL minimum system install requirements.
    Mac OS X v10.6 Snow Leopard system requirements
    Purchased Installer disc here.
    http://store.apple.com/us/product/MC573Z/A/mac-os-x-106-snow-leopard
    To install Snow Leopard for the first time, you must have a Mac with:
    An Intel processor
    An internal or external DVD drive, or DVD or CD Sharing
    At least 1 GB of RAM (additional RAM is recommended)
    A built-in display or a display connected to an Apple-supplied video card supported by your computer
    At least 5 GB of disk space available, or 7 GB of disk space if you install the developer tools.
    In addition, see this discussion for more relevant info that you may need if you have any other questions or issues.

  • I need help getting itunes on my new computer. old one crashed

    My old computer crashed, I downloaded iTunes on my new computer and need help getting all of my stuff on it that I had. I did 'home share' to see if that worked, and it didnt.
    Also, on my old computer, when I synced my iPad & my husbands iPod, it didnt sync any music or podcasts, no videos-and i went through each category seperately to sync it and it didnt work. So I can't sync my devices to the new iTunes bc not everything is on there that i have purchased.

    It has always been very basic to always maintain a backup copy of your comuter for just this occasion.  Use your backup copy to put everything on the new computer.
    If for some reason you have failed to maintain a backup, not good, then you can redownload some itunes purchases in some countries:
    Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
