Re: [JAWS-Users] dvd audio extracter

2009-03-15 Thread Chris Hallsworth
For the benefit of others I will post on here. The program is called DVD 
Audio Extractor. It's shareware, but you can download a fully functional 
trial from www.castudio.org. I think for $40 or so it's worth it as it's 
also fully accessible with speech. Hope this helps you all.

Re: [JAWS-Users] dvd audio extracter

2009-03-15 Thread Victor
Hi Candy,

If you have a DVD drive in your computer, the best software to use is DVD 
Audio Extractor, and if you Google it, the first hit you get is the home 
page for the program.

It's completely accessible with Jaws, and very easy to use.

I wrote up a small tutorial on how to use the program, and have included it 
below, just to give you an idea of how easy the program is to use.

Hope you find it useful.

***Begin Tutorial***

I am going to detail how I do things with this program, and not how things 
are supposed to be done, just in case someone decides that I'm doing 
something wrong.

For one thing, the program is pretty much completely accessible, so there 
are no specialty keystrokes you need to know to rip a DVD using Audio 
Extractor.

Having said that, the following is what I do when confronted with a DVD I 
wish to rip.

I load the DVD in the CD tray of my drive, close it, and let it do it's 
thing.

Depending on how you have your autoplay functions set, you will either get a 
pop up window asking you what you want to do with the DVD or you may get 
nothing.  If you get the autoplay dialog box, just select do nothing, and 
tab to the ok button.

At this point, I will open up Any DVD, and let it do it's thing by decoding 
the DVD.  You should get a message that Any DVD is examining the disc, 
please wait, your disc will be available shortly.

Once the tray stops spinning, you'll know the DVD has been decoded by Any 
DVD.

At this point, you can go ahead and open up DVD Audio Extractor.

Once the program opens up, you'll here the DVD spin in the drive again as 
DVD Audio Extractor looks for the DVD that is available in any of your 
drives.

You should automatically land on the help button, at which point you will 
want to tab to the combo box to select the DVD drive you've placed the disc 
into.  The program should have selected the drive already and be listed in 
the combo box, but if it hasn't, then arrow up or down to the drive to 
select it.

Once selected, you tab once and you'll land on the refresh button.

If I'm ripping a second DVD after ripping the first, I will press the 
spacebar on this button, just to make sure the track listing is updated to 
reflect the new DVD in the tray.  You never can be sure with software.

Once you do this, tab once and you'll land on the track listing of the DVD.

From my experience, I have never seen track listings like Lee has mentioned 
in his messages for ripping with this program.

I have never been able to right arrow to the alternate language, and so find 
the tracks are listed by language, as opposed as in sections.

What I mean by this is, when Jaws speaks out the track number, it will have 
the language somewhere in the track listing.  It will list English, or 
Francais or Espanol, or some other language in the title of the track.

I have never personally seen a DVD with audio description, so I really can't 
say what an audio description track would look like.

Having said that, I would imagine that the title of the track would indicate 
something other than the language.

As another example, I have had DVD movies, like the Fast and the Furious 
that have had multiple angles to a particular scene, and this, too, is 
indicated in the track title.

It will be listed as Angle 1 or Angle 2 or something along those lines.

Suffice it to say, if you look for these language names, you will be given 
some idea of what language you are selecting.

Keep in mind that this is not always the case, as some DVD titles are not 
authored correctly.

During the writing of this tutorial, I used a movie called March of the 
Penguins.  The DVD case comes with two DVD's.  Presumably one DVD is the 
English version, while the second DVD is the French version.

One would expect that the English version would have the word English in the 
track titles, and the French version would have the word Francais, however, 
this is not the case.  The first DVD has only five track listings, and three 
of them are listed as French titles, and two listed as English.

When I slip in the second DVD, again, there are only five track titles, but 
each of them are listed as French.  I have confirmed the one with all the 
tracks listed as French are indeed the French version of the movie, but the 
first one, even though it's listed as French, turned out to be the English 
version, with Morgan Freeman narrating the movie, as usual.

Suffice it to say, I am hoping that this is not the case with all of the 
DVD's one buys.

Either way, the program usually does a good job of checking which are the 
main movie titles, and which are not, and so, if you're just looking to rip 
the movie proper, you shouldn't have to mess around with the track listings. 
I'll explain in a bit how you can make sure that the tracks selected are the 
right ones.

If you wish to rip more than just the movie, such as DVD extras and the 
like, you should arrow down the list of tracks, find out which are checked 
and

Vicki,

I have two programs, one is called any DVD and the other is cloan  DVd. 
You need these types of programs in other to copy the DVd.  The only way 
around this would be to play the entire DVD on your computer and record it 
with goldwave or total recorder.  That would take a while.

If you are interested in these DVD programs, go to slysoft.com.
If I can help you any more, let me know.  I'm always happy to help 
someone.
