How to copy dvd concert disc to cdr?

[mccoady]

I didn't know where to ask this, but I have Sheryl Crows's "C'mon America 2000" concert dvd, is there any easy way to transfer the audio to a cdr? This is new to me but I getting familiar with using Img Classic, Dvd Shrink and Dvd Decrypter to burn dvds. I also have Nero which I use just for burning cds.

If there is enough space can you burn directly from dvd burner to cd burner, or does there need to be some kind of a conversion? I did go ahead and used Shrink to put it on harddrive but haven't went any further, can anyone explain an easy way to do this? Thanks!

I don't know if DVD Decrypter can extract the audio or not, so I would suggest:

Rip the concert with DVD Decrypter
Use DVD2AVI to strip the audio and video by saving a project
Load that audio file into a sample reditor and resample from 48KHz to 44.1.
Load that into your CD authouring package
Burn onto a CD

Get a visit from the local police for infringement of copyright.

Rip by chapter with DVD Decrypter. Demux the audio in each chapter. AC3 or LPCM load each into Headache and convert to wav 44,100 sample rate. The resulting new wav's can be burned as an audio CD. Rip by chapter because each song is normally contained in the individual chapters.

BeSweet accepts vobs as input. Just run your vobs through BeSweet and set the output to a 44.1 khz wav file. You can join or cut the wavs later if you wish with something like Audacity.

Thanks for all the replies, but this may be over my head. I was hoping it was a very simple project and for some it may very well be.

Don't give up yet, Mike! You're almost there!

Follow the link to BeSweet and download the program and the graphical user interface (gui). When DVDShrink copied the DVD to your harddrive it made files with the .vob extension. These files make up the movie. Open the BeSweet gui and point it to the BeSweet program that you downloaded. Set the input as one of the .vob files. Set the output to whatever .wav you want. Put the frequency setting on 44.1Khz. Click the button to run the program and you've got yourself a .wav file that you can burn onto cd with a burning application like Nero.

OK....here is a SIMPLE way of doing this...and each song will be a different track. You will need 3 pieces of software: ANYDVD (to get past the copy protection on it) DVD Audio Ripper (rips the audio directly to wav's or mp3's with each chapter as a separate track or the whole thing as one long track), and something to burn to audio cd (Nero for example).

1. Make sure you are running ANYDVD
2. Put in the dvd and start DVD Audio Ripper
3. Rip the disc to the hard drive as separate tracks or as a single (your choice)
4. Start up whatever you use to burn an audio cd and import the music files you just ripped.
5. Burn away

I hope this helps

Thanks, I'll try to give this a shot over the weekend. I read on link to BeSweet that it might not work with pioneer burners (I have a 106) but I may give it a shot anyway. If BeSweet doesn't work may be I can try the other way.

I ended up using AnyDVd and DVd Audio Ripper and it was pretty easy to use, but the result is pretty irritating. The sound quality is acceptable, but it cuts off the last minute or so of every song. This is a live concert recording so I put the wav files in the same order as the dvd had, but it cuts off every song except the last one of the concert. Is this something you just have to live with, or is there some setting to eliminate this? Thanks!
