DVD Audio Disk to 5.1 Surround Tracks

[rishid]

I have a couple DVD Audio disks and was wondering how I could convert them to a compressed file and keep the 5.1 distinct channels, so I can keep them on my computer?

Thanks

Hello,
This came up in another thread. I think they said you can't keep the high res audio since it's a different copy protection. You MAY be able to keep the normal 5.1.

Try dvdshrink and look for the dolby 5.1 track. That's your best bet for surround sound. You could always do a realtime analoge capture to the computer as a wav or mp3.

you can't copy encrypted dvd audio discs. or are you talking about dvd-video?

[rishid]

Talking about DVD-Audio. A DVD with like 15 tracks on it, just an album with surround sound. Thought it was called DVD-Audio.

Rishid, look at the disc and tell me if it has this logo on it.

[rishid]

You cannot copy this disk

why?

Because it has a copy protection system which is UNCRACKED. It uses a toucher Copy Protection than used in dvd video known as CPPM which is heavy duty 128 bit encryption. No ripping software for DVD AUDIO exists.

For pre-recorded DVD-A, the CPPM protection system (Content-Protection for Prerecorded Media) is used to protect the audio. This involves encryption on the disc and key-blocks licensed for use in player devices are needed to play the disc.

CPPM is MUCH MUUCH TOUGHER to crack than CSS used in dvd video.

However, the majority of dvd audio discs including the one you own are hybrid. this means they also contain dvd video portion of the audio as well as the high resolution dvd audio. this is for complaint with current dvd players.

The dvd video portion of the disc is usually 5.1 Dolby digital or 5.1 DTS soundtracks and can be copied from the disc. But NOT the high resolution 24bit/96kHz 5.1 channel and 24bit/192kHz stereo which uses MLP.
