JoeTesora 0 Posted May 4, 2005 Share Posted May 4, 2005 Just got the bonus DVD 'Musical Journey' that comes with the CD soundtrack for 'Revenge of the Sith'. I want to make mp3s of the audio for CD/iPod use (my kid loves the dialogue add ins). However, using the system I use for ALL my DVD ripping (SmartRipper-->DVD2AVI-->TMPGEnc) I get picture... but the sound is simply muffled static. The disc itself features the music in 5.1 or PCM (your choice) but that shouldn't matter, right? I have no problem doing this sort of thing with any other disc. What am I doing wrong? Does anyone else on this board have this DVD and have the same problem? Would love some advice. -JT Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
King Mark 3,631 Posted May 4, 2005 Share Posted May 4, 2005 Why don't you try recording it in real time with your sound card.I have a creative and it has this "What U Hear" record feature that captures audio in MP3,WMA,AAC, or WAVE from anything that's playing out of the headphone output.I use it to get clips from DVD's.K.M.

JoeTesora 0 Posted May 5, 2005 Author Share Posted May 5, 2005 Thanks for the advice. I don't have Creative but I used Audacity and it is a solution I guess but the quality is dodgy. Really need to get the digital sound right off the disc itself. Anyone else have any advice? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WedgeAntilles 0 Posted May 5, 2005 Share Posted May 5, 2005 I use DVD Audio Extractor for this purpose only...http://www.castudio.org/dvdaudioextractor/index.htmIt's really easy to use and makes it painless. The new version even let's you preview the track before you rip. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thx99 1,740 Posted May 15, 2005 Share Posted May 15, 2005 The PCM track is 24-bit as opposed to the CD standard of 16. Unless you have a sound card capable of playing back 24-bit files and/or software which can open a 24-bit file and play it at 16-bit resolution, you will not be able to do anything with the PCM track. This might be a contributing factor as to why you're getting "muffled static". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MeBeJedi 0 Posted May 16, 2005 Share Posted May 16, 2005 IIRC, an SPDIF connection won't pass a 24-bit signal either. (Or maybe that was 24/96) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greg1138 3 Posted May 16, 2005 Share Posted May 16, 2005 I've had no problem here - managed to rip it easily using the method described on this site, along with Audacity for mixing the channels and editing.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thx99 1,740 Posted May 17, 2005 Share Posted May 17, 2005 I've had no problem here - managed to rip it easily using the method described on this site, along with Audacity for mixing the channels and editing....I presume that you ripped/mixed/edited the Dolby Digital 5.1 track as opposed to the PCM 2-channel track. If you did rip/mix/edit the PCM track, then you have a 24-bit sound card with appropriate software OR during the ripping/mixing/editing process, the track was automatically requantized to 16-bit by your software.I ripped the PCM track, opened it in Sound Forge 7.0b (which allows for playback of the 24-bit file even though my sound card is only 16-bit), and then requantized it from 24-bit to 16-bit. Then I resampled it from 48 kHz to 44.1 kHz (CD standard) and added track marks as appropriate for the final CD. I also kept the original 24-bit/48 kHz file for future use (e.g., DVD-Audio).
