~~~Creating 5.1 DVD-A with iMac ~~~
K, first off please read the whole thing before posting the link from "Rimz" and his guide because most those links are down and that software doesn't work on Leopard. Also, this isn't a question on how to convert Mp3's to wav and put on DVD's, uh uh, don't want that crap either.
I used to have a PC up until a short while ago and used Cirlinca Audio Solo and DVD Extractor to make my own "5.1" DVD-A's by pulling them off purchased music dvd's (of course all 5.1 and/or DTS). It was a breeze and have about 19 discs I have made.
But, now I have this iMac and not only does DVD Extractor no run on this neither does DVD Audio Solo. So, here's the question and I have paged through several and several threads on how to make them using PC's and making Mp3's to wav onto DVD. Has anyone discovered a Mac solution to this?
Again, I just want to rip the 5.1 audio off a music DVD and make my own DVD Audio discs once again.
Thanks for readin'

Hit up bmode via PM (I don't think he gets over here much; posts mostly in 4G TL), he might know.

Thanks for the PM Bearcat, sorry GTA_TLS for the delayed response, been a little busy and didn't notice the PM from BC.
Currently I have NOT found a simple way to extract 5.1 DVD-audio and then turn it back into DVD-audio on a Mac. I looked into to this for a little while then lost interest as other projects came along. I haven't completely given up though, here is a link to possible extraction software, but I haven't followed up on it and don't know much about it.
http://www.dvd-ipod.biz/howto/copy-r...r-mac-osx.html
I'll check back on this thread and try to contribute to this task, as I'd like to be able to do this as well. I'll hit Rimz up to see if he has made an attempt at DVD-audio and keeping it 5.1 for our Acura's.
By the way, I'm running Leopard too and DVD-audiofile 0.74 does work, along with Titantium Toast and Audacity for 2-channel formats to DVD-A, but I realize that you want to maintain the 5.1 surround mix, so do I. So, we'll work on it! B.

Appreciate you looking into it though and I'll keep poking through the web on my end too.

Ok did not see the ripping part.
found this app and it's free. http://handbrake.fr/
perhaps this is what you are looking for?

Late last night, I used Mactheripper to successfully get the AC3 file from the demo DVD-audio from my TL, and it works fine, and I can play that AC-3 file using VLC player, but now I have to get that AC-3 file back to a DVD-Audio disc, and that's were I'm stumped as the DVD-Audio discs that I make use the FLAC format which is high quality two channel stereo, and then at that point I use DVD-Audiofile to make the ISO file to burn to DVD-Audio but that's not what we want.
I tried Soundtrack Pro, Waveburner, Audacity, Sound Studio and Quicktime but no luck yet. I'm gonna try Logic Pro today as that is a 5.1 surround application, but the real question is what will parse the AC-3 format, so I'll report back. B.

but on the other hand sure would be nice to know what app can do that...

Here's another possibility for you GTA_TLS, since you have a Mac running Leopard, set up BootCamp via XP or Vista. I'm using XP with my Bootcamp so I can still use PC applications. This would enable you to use the old PC software that you previously used to make the DVD-Audio discs? At least until we find a solution on the Mac side.
#15
Thanks dude. The only thing to do now is find a PC application that will now Parse the DVD-audio disc then turn it back into a 5.1 DVD-audio disc without losing quality.

If I understand what you're trying to do (I might not), and you can run boot camp, I think Solo 2.0 will work.

I just saw that post, I just hope that everyone understands that just because you have a program that makes DVD-audio discs doesn't mean you have a true 5.1 surround sound DVD-audio disc. I do 2-channel dvd-audio discs all day, so I'll check out that app to see if it maintains the 5.1 AC3 format when extracting then burning back.

They are looking for a way to extract commercial 5.1 and re-author it to DVD-A.
The re-authoring is (relatively) easy. Finding and extraction and/or conversion tool is the hard part.

Oh trust me, even if I had an XP disc or Vista this thread wouldn't be here lol. I even googled for a good pirate copy then checked Windows website for any trial OS but they don't offer it.
Appreciate your hard work bmode
For MAC OS.

Oh snap, so you don't have a valid copy of XP or Vista, that sh** should be free, ya know? So what's the app on the PC side, because I'm running XP via Bootcamp and I'd like to give it a whirl? Is it still available for download, purchase or not? I don't mind which platform makes the DVD-A, as long as the quality is good!
I was looking into Sonic and their software last night, pricey bastards, and after all my reading not one piece of software they offer does what we want it to do? Like Bearcat said, a piece of software may be able to extract, but maybe not hack the encryption that may accompany the audio. This just bites if you ask me! Commercial CD's we buy allows us to make favorites CD's, why not DVD-A's? Buggah.

All you need is DVD Extractor and Cirlinca's DVD Audio Solo and your set. That's what I was using until my iMac
Oh, and any purchased Music DVD you have/get. Just try to get the ones that are 5.1 or DTS., then burn me some copies and mail them to me
DVD Extractor-> http://www.castudio.org/dvdaudioextractor/
DVD Solo-> http://www.cirlinca.com/products.htm
Makes 5.1 and "DTS" discs......for PC.

I downloaded the trial demo's, and I couldn't get the TL Demo tracks extracted? Must be the encryption. So I'm gonna extract them on the Mac to AC3, then take those back into Cirlina and see if it works? This sucks! LOL.

The program is for getting tracks off of music dvds and such so you can create a DVD-A. It takes the audio portion off in whatever format you suggest them from there slap it into Solo and burn. Fack, you're going to make me go buy a Windows OS soon if we keep on the PC side of things.
Now focus, MAC ONLY

You have a windoze thing already, just buy and piece of shite windoze OS and use Bootcamp!
Please don't use the term music DVD's as that's misleading in our search for clarity! LOL. Say DVD-A. Music DVD is a completely different animal. As for extracting the TL DVD-A demo disc, since we can only put in one piece of media in the player now (4G's), I'd like to compile a bunch of DVD-A files and lose the ones I don't like, plus bring in a few from other DVD-A's that I own. Capesh?
I did read the instructions, but the encryption is the issue at this time for ME. I just hate Windblows anything, it's so retarded and the GUI's on every app suck!

Hmmm, maybe you're new at this haha. No, it IS music DVD's that I use to rip the tracks off using dvd extractor then burned those tracks using Solo "capesh?"
K, now pay attention. I don't want to buy a $200 OS by Windoze just to burn DVD's but it's looking that way. But if I do, I will buy more MUSIC DVD'S, ie: ACDC in concert (like I have already) and make sure that dvd is in 5.1 or DTS, then put that dvd in my drive, run dvd extractor and pull those tracks off in a form of WAV files. Then load them into Solo and burn them onto a DVD-R hense creating a DVD-A in 5.1 or DTS, you still with me?
Finally, as for the 4G's issue well this is the 3G forum
But it should still work.
Here's an example of music dvd there champ---> http://www.newvideo.com/productdetai...=NV-AAAE101350 in 5.1
I actually have it and burned the tracks to DVD-A just as I explained.

I've been searching online for hours trying to figure out how to do this, to no avail. Has anyone figured out how to rip 5.1 surround sound from a dvd and burn it in 5.1 to DVD-A using a mac?
