RE: dvd and cd burning and ripping
What tools should I use for the following: - ripping a cd - burning a cd - ripping a dvd - burning a dvd Hi, I am joining a bit late but thought I would chip in anyway... I really like Sound Juicer for my Music ripping. I like the fact it supports all kinds of formats, is easy to use, and has a simple layout. For burning CD and DVD's, I use k3b. For ripping DVD's I use K9Copy which is in the debian-multimedia repo's. Hope that helps. Have fun! ~Stack~ -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe. Trouble?

dvd and cd burning and ripping
Hi, What tools should I use for the following: - ripping a cd - burning a cd - ripping a dvd - burning a dvd I used ripit for ripping a cd, is this a good tool? It seemed to go quite slow, but was ok. - Will wodim burn audio cds? Is this the best tool to use? I ripped a dvd with 'dvdbackup' is this the correct way of ripping a dvd movie? Or are there better tools. I ended up with a video_ts folder with lots of files inside including vob files I could play with mplayer... So is this how you rip a dvd? If so how can I then burn it to a blank dvd disk? (So I can watch it on the dvd player on the tv?) I am blind, so I can only use gtk applications, eg. gnome ones and of course command line stuff.

I ended up with a video_ts folder with lots of files inside including vob files I could play with mplayer... So is this how you rip a dvd? If so how can I then burn it to a blank dvd A DVD usually has two folder in general, VIDEO_TS and AUDIO_TS. Google for these if you want to know the details, but usually you may find only VIDEO_TS. Conversly, if you have your video data in ./VIDEO_TA, then ./ folder is all you need to burn to make a video DVD. But I haven't done this often, so please wait for some experts' answer to this. disk? (So I can watch it on the dvd player on the tv?) I am blind, so I can only use gtk applications, eg. gnome ones and of course command line stuff. Just curious, what about KDE applications?

Yes, it can. That said, whether or not it plays in a DVD player is more a function of the file creation software than the burning software. So, if you have files/filesystem images that play in DVD player, the burned DVD will play. -- Lee Glidewell | PGP key: D5D686A7 [EMAIL PROTECTED] | -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe.

Yes, genisoimage in debian will create dvd-video iso images which can then be burnt by wodim. But there is an outstanding bug in genisoimage that means some standalone players wont play them. My Panasonic DVD recorder for one :(. When I ripped it, I got a video_ts folder with vob files which mplayer can play. Also, how would I burn single vob files from my camera to a dvd? (so the dvd player can play them) You need to create the dvd-video structure. dvdauthor is the tool from the command line that does this. Its very simple to get a basic dvd with no menus, but with some learning you can create very good looking dvd's. function of the file creation software than the burning software. So, if you So if the original disk did the burnt one should? Yes but beware of the bug on some standalone players.

Just copying the VIDEO_TS (and the AUDIO_TS if you have that as well) folder to the DVD should suffice. It has been a little while, but IIRC that is what I did the few times I did that in the recent past. -HS -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe. Trouble?
