MakeMKV and DVD Audio Extractor

Anydvd and HD-DVD/Blu-Ray Stream Extractor Old Versions Downloads - VideoHelp is what I use if other options fail. It will also create a cue file of the chapter points which Audiomuxer will read and split accordingly.

 

I just got a Blu ray drive and thought I would take a shot at ripping a Blu ray audio disc. I decrypted it w/ MakeMKV and the ripped it with DVDAE. DVDAE only recognized it as 1 long chapter. Where did I go wrong?

 

You need to "backup" with MakeMKV, not extract a title.

 

I did do back up with MakeMKV, however DVDAE just saw the backup as one long file.

 

The blu ray is Yes- Close To The Edge. I can do a screen grab but not up to speed on how to post them to the forum. I'm going to try a different disc.

 

I ripped the Quadrophenia Blu ray audio disc yesterday and it worked. It doesn't pick up track titles like the screenshot though. All info has to be manually entered.

 

I have also made a rip of the Yes - Close To The Edge Bluray with DVD Audio Extractor and you are right. It is stored as one long file for some reason. It's the way the bluray was made and I had to split the file in three parts with audacity.

 

I'll try another one tonight. I dont mind manually tagging though.

 

Thanks!

 

Try Audiomuxer or DVD HD Blu-ray Extractor. I would try DVD HD Blu-ray Extractor first. You can just extract the cue sheet in one second. Load the single music file in Audiomuxer. Split it by loading the cue file you made.

Or use the full Blu-ray you made from MakeMKV and redo the process using Audiomuxer.

For Audacity, you have to go into the settings and change it to "use custom mix"...that would be a long process compared to the other two methods I mentioned.

 

Hmm. I did a rip of Close to the Edge BR sometime last year, I think, but don't recall the "single long file" situation coming up. Did the decrypted backup using MakeMKV, then used either DVDAE or (more likely) Audiomuxer to convert to the final sets of flac files. Maybe I'll try this again; now I'm curious.

I've just been ripping all my blu-ray audio discs to a backup HDD and by far the best way I found is to use makemkv to rip the disc to mkv file/s (this is an exact copy from the disc, just in a different container so no loss of quality). Then load the mkv into audiomuxer where you can extract the audio and split by chapter points and do all tagging and save to flac files. Doesn't get easier than that in my experience.

 

I have been using MakeMKV (disc backup feature) and then using DVD Audio Extractor. Most of the time it works but in some cases there is a problem extracting the DTS 5.1 tracks. DVD Audio Extractor says that the DTS 5.1 files are present but when you go to screen two and select the "number of channels" it only has stereo and mono as options.

I've played around with this a number of times and I'm sure that the problem lies with the downloaded meta data file. In the current case I am trying to copy the XTC Blu Ray of Black Sea. The meta data file that I down load is different for the Blu Ray disc than the meta data files it allows me to download for the MakeMKV backup file.

I've noticed in the past that if I did not play around with the meta data files I would sometimes not be able to extract the individual tracks and only get one large file for the entire Blu Ray.

Is there something that I am doing wrong in this process?

 

Try Audiomuxer and/or HD-DVD/Blu-Ray Stream Extractor.

 

I have a similar problem with Dvd-audio discs. There is no problem extracting the audiotracks from the physical disc. However if I create an iso file of the disc and try to extract the files from the iso file Dvd Audio Extractor does not see any audiofiles to extract.

Anyone have the same experience?
