Re: extracting the audio from a DVD

2004-10-11 Thread Kevin Shields
What do you want to save the audio from a DVD on? I have a DVD player,
and I wanted to listen to the Concert for George, last Christmas while I
was ringing bells for the Salvation Army.  I recorded the entire audio
track on a mini disk.  I had to use the LP2 sampling rate.  Cause the
whole thing was 3 hours.  I could only take it off the analogue output. 
I tried using the Toslink optical output, but didn't get any sound.  So
the analogue output was the only way to go.  Then I took it with me on my
portable mini disk   recorder and listened to it while I rang bells.
Hope this helps.

  Hi all. I'm wondering what music sharing programs or services you might use 
  or subscribe to. Which ones work better, or decently, with JAWS? The ones 
  that I'd like to stay away from are Kazaa, due to the attention its getting, 
  and Win MX, due to potential keyboard shortcut conflicts. Unless you can 
  assign other keystrokes in a nontechnical manner to use the program.

  Many thanks,

 i winmx is where you can download songs from other people and it is
 different from ftp cause alot of times you have to have a user name and
 password and you can't always get what you want you get what ever the
person
 has off of the hard drive i think ftp servers are neat don't ever get me

Re: Window eyes and two sound cards

2004-10-11 Thread Jerry Richer
 I'm not sure that Aaron of GW Micro is contradicting me.  I think he's
just saying that it's not possible fright now to tell Window Eyes what sound
card to use and that is true.  It's my understanding that Window Eyes always
uses the default system sound card so if you change that under Control Panel
/ Sounds and Audio Devices then Window Eyes will use whatever you choose.
The audio applications such as Sound Forge or WinAmp usually allow you use
the sound device you like and not necessarily the default system device.

putting mp3's on a dvd

2004-10-11 Thread russell Bourgoin
Hi Gang,
I just got a dvd burner and have nero six and roxio six on my 
machine.  I'd like to put 4 gig or so worth of mp3's on a dvd disc for 
archival purposes.  What is the best way to do this? Do I just treat it 
like a cd and just make a larger compilation layout?  Or, do I have to burn 
it a special way?  I've never attempted this.  I have a sony burner that, 
reputedly, burns all formats.  I've burned a couple of cd's on it, used it 
to rip a couple of cd's, and actually copied a cd to it from my cd 
drive.  I have a sony dvd plus r.

Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Re: Turtlebeach cards.

2004-10-11 Thread russell Bourgoin
Hi,
Turtle beach is a good sound card, quieter than the various sb 
cards.  I owned and used one for years and the only reason I switched to an 
audigy card was for the easy access to the jacks in the separate module 
which sits atop my tower.  I do lots of multi track recording and got tired 
of crawling around under the desk to plug line in and microphone 
cords.  Also, the external module has volume control knobs, yes, I said 
knobs.  Makes life easier.  But for normal work, the turtle beach is a fine 
card.

Hi all,
I'm somewhat inexperienced and uninformed about this stuff, and I think 
the
answer to my question is no, but I'll ask it anyway.

Can you take a standard audio CD and convert it to mp3 format?  If so, 
which
program works best for this?  Also there are a number of different file
extensions but what is the file extension for a commercially purchased 
audio
CD?

With your help, I'll get up-to-speed on this stuff one of these days.  I

 Mimi a coaster is a CD that was ruined somehow.  Usually it was ruined
while burning it.  When it's ruined then supposedly the only thing it's good
for is a coaster.  I don't think it would even make much of a coaster with
that hole in the center.

 Hi,
 
  Turtle beach is a good sound card, quieter than the various 
 sb cards.  I owned and used one for years and the only reason I 
 switched to an audigy card was for the easy access to the jacks in the 
 separate module which sits atop my tower.  I do lots of multi track 
 recording and got tired of crawling around under the desk to plug line 
 in and microphone cords.  Also, the external module has volume control 
 knobs, yes, I said knobs.  Makes life easier.  But for normal work, 
 the turtle beach is a fine card.
 
 Later
 Rusty
   At 07:12 PM 10/10/2004, mimi spake thusly:-
 Oh, now, when I first got my computer, I had a strange soundcard in 
 it.  It was an offbrand of some kind and I switched to the 
 Soundblaster Live in May, 2003.
 (I think that's when I did that.)  I
 never knew whether the first soundcard had a line-in or not.  I gave 
 it away to someone else who sold it later.
 Is the Turtlebeach a high-end card that cost a lot more?  I'm happy 
 with Soundblaster.  Don't think I'll tinker too much with this old 
 computer nowadays as I am saving for a brand new system.
 I'm thinking of buying my next one from Radio Shack--unless I'm 
 wrong, and someone else can make some suggestions, but I'm on a tight 
 budget and I don't want to go into the red all over again.
 I like getting my system from a place whose sales staff will take the 
 time to make sure I would be able to work it when I get home.  
 Circuit City and Frye's are not hot places for me to shop at, as I 
 find people there less helpful.
 I've been dealing with Radio Shack for years off and on, and at this 
 time, thought I would ask some questions first.

 Hello,

 Although I may be wrong about this, it seems to me that most of the
 complaints about the Soundblaster products come from users of JFW, which
 uses a proprietary version of Eloquence.  As a user of Window Eyes, I
 experienced this problem of crackling only once, and that was several
 years ago on a very slow machine running windows 95.

   Hi,
  
Turtle beach is a good sound card, quieter than the various
   sb
   cards.  I owned and used one for years and the only reason I
   switched to an
   audigy card was for the easy access to the jacks in the separate
   module
   which sits atop my tower.  I do lots of multi track recording and
   got tired
   of crawling around under the desk to plug line in and microphone
   cords.  Also, the external module has volume control knobs, yes, I
   said
   knobs.  Makes life easier.  But for normal work, the turtle beach is
   a fine
   card.

   Oh, now, when I first got my computer, I
   had a strange soundcard in it.  It was
   an offbrand of some kind and I switched
   to the Soundblaster Live in May, 2003.
   (I think that's when I did that.)  I
   never knew whether the first soundcard
   had a line-in or not.  I gave it away to
   someone else who sold it later.
   Is the Turtlebeach a high-end card that
   cost a lot more?  I'm happy with
   Soundblaster.  Don't think I'll tinker
   too much with this old computer nowadays
   as I am saving for a brand new system.
   I'm thinking of buying my next one from
   Radio Shack--unless I'm wrong, and
   someone else can make some suggestions,
   but I'm on a tight budget and I don't
   want to go into the red all over again.
   I like getting my system from a place
   whose sales staff will take the time to
   make sure I would be able to work it
   when I get home.  Circuit City and
   Frye's are not hot places for me to shop
   at, as I find people there less helpful.
   I've been dealing with Radio Shack for
   years off and on, and at this time,
   thought I would ask some questions
   first.

  Hi DJC:
 
  I disagree with you on the Creative
   Labs USB.  I have the Oddegy II NX and
  while audio sound is comparable to
   my TB card, the Crackle with jfw
  eliquents is enormous.  The patches
   available to correct this problem
 would
  not load on this card on XP Pro with
   service pack II.  The TB card has no
  crackles with jfw.  Also the control
   panels are just as inaccessible as
 the
  TB card.  I really wish card

Re: putting mp3's on a dvd

2004-10-11 Thread RQJ
Hi Shannon,
Just think of a dvd disk as a cd, only with a much greater capacity.
You can burn the same type of files to both disks, the dvd disk  was
primarily designed for video files,
due to their size.
Of course, where you play that disk, is determined by whether the player
supports that format.

Yes, you can make full use of the program as it is fully accessible.
No, the help documentation doesn't cover accessibility options per

Hi, everybody.
   
New list member here.  I heard about this list from GW Micro.  Is
this
list
intended
to help blind users cope with things the sound editing program
manuals
don't
cover?
For instance, how to select a portion of a wave file using
 accessibility
keys, or,
which of the sound editors, pound for pound, allows a blind user to
 get
the
most
out of the sound editing program via screen reader?  If not, please
 let
  me
know,
and I'll bail out now.
   
But if so, perhaps someone will tell me:
1.  How to select a portion of a wave file in Gold Wave for copying
to
  the
clipboard.
2.  Whether the help window in Nero 6 is easy to use.
3.  Whether Nero's accessibility features will let a user get the
most
  out
of the
program, and, whether the accessibility features are contained in
the
documentation.
4.  Most importantly, which sound editor beats the others out in
terms
  of
quality,
ease of use, and degree of screen reader/ short cut key
accessibility.
   
Thanks for your kind attention and, if applicable, your advice.

Re: putting mp3's on a dvd

2004-10-11 Thread russell Bourgoin
Right.  It wasn't too long ago, though, when you couldn't play an mp3 cd in 
your car or home stereo.  That's why, I mentioned archival, in my original 
question.  Now, I've managed to make a dvd plus r at the stunning speed of 
2.4x, and a dvd minus r, which recorded at 8x.  These discs are accessible 
when in the drive, so you could put a boat load of mp3's on it and then 
play it on your computer.  You could put, say, all your audible books on it 
without cluttering up your hard drive.  Its huge, compared to the old 
cd!  Do you remember the 5.25 floppy that held 720k of data?

 had a strange soundcard in it.  It
was
 an offbrand of some kind and I
switched
 to the Soundblaster Live in May,
2003.
 (I think that's when I did that.)  I
 never knew whether the first
soundcard
 had a line-in or not.  I gave it away
to
 someone else who sold it later.
 Is the Turtlebeach a high-end card
that
 cost a lot more?  I'm happy with
 Soundblaster.  Don't think I'll
tinker
 too much with this old computer
nowadays
 as I am saving for a brand new
system.
 I'm thinking of buying my next one
from
 Radio Shack--unless I'm wrong, and
 someone else can make some
suggestions,
 but I'm on a tight budget and I don't
 want to go into the red all over
again.
 I like getting my system from a place
 whose sales staff will take the time
to
 make sure I would be able to work it
 when I get home.  Circuit City and
 Frye's are not hot places for me to
shop
 at, as I find people there less
helpful.
 I've been dealing with Radio Shack
for
 years off and on, and at this time,
 thought I would ask some questions
 first.

Hi DJC:
   
I disagree with you on the
Creative
 Labs USB.  I have the Oddegy II NX
and
while audio sound is comparable
to
 my TB card, the Crackle with jfw
eliquents is enormous.  The
patches
 available to correct this problem
   would
not load on this card on XP Pro
with
 service pack II.  The TB card has no
crackles with jfw.  Also the
control
 panels are just as inaccessible as
   the
TB card.  I really wish card
 manufactures would make their control
 pannels
accessible eh?
   
Cheers...rocker

I have a turtle beach santa cruz
in
 one of my machines. It works great
but
the control panel is not real
 accessible. They have a few presets
for
 echo
and such but you won't be
concerned
 with them. Personally i'd buy one of
the new Creative external cards
that
 plug in to your USB 2.0 ports. These
cards are the cleanest I've ever
 heard with no distortion and you can
 move
the card from machine to
machine.
 There still a little pricey but well
worth the money.

2004-10-11 Thread wcmerritt
Greetings. I'm curious how people that have more than 500 songs, organize 
their music? I have nearly 650 songs, and though its kind of fun having them 
all in one directory and alphabetized, it does seem a  little time consuming 
if I'm looking for a particular one. For instance, do you organize by 
artist, album, genre, or other methods?

Many thanks,

Hi Chris.  You can use a program like CDex to rip audio CD's to the 
harddrive, and then, you can use a program to burn the CD.  I believe that 
Nero is one of the best for this.

Hi all,
I'm somewhat inexperienced and uninformed about this stuff, and I think 
the
answer to my question is no, but I'll ask it anyway.

Can you take a standard audio CD and convert it to mp3 format?  If so, 
which
program works best for this?  Also there are a number of different file
extensions but what is the file extension for a commercially purchased 
audio
CD?

With your help, I'll get up-to-speed on this stuff one of these days.  I
just don't have the time to spend on it that I would like to have.
Thanks much.

Hello List!

I hope this is not off-topic, but here it is.

I would like to know if there is a place or way a person can obtain good
editing software (such as Soundforge and Cakewalk, etc.) at reasonable
prices, ones containing real Program Keys and documentation.  Even old
copies of the program (discontinued software stores).  These programs are
too expensive for my wallet at this time, but I need their functionality.  I
get emails daily about cheap software, but who knows if these are legitimate
or not.  I do a lot of music and audio editing and need help in this area.

Thanks again for your help and again I apologize if I have gone off-topic in
this email.

 Hi Susan,

 I don't know if they still have them but RNIB used to sell a lead that
 enables you to do what you want, using a standard pair of stereo
headphones.
 It comprises a 3.5 mm socket with two leads coming out of it and 3.5 mm
 plugs on the end of each of them. If RNIB no longer sell them, I'm sure
you
 could get one made up for you locally.

 Good luck.

 Subject: split headphones


  Hi everyone,
  This question came up on another list and has sparked my interest
because
  I
  will soon be in a similar situation.
 
  The list is for blind transcriptionists.  The person asking wanted to
know
  whether there are split headsets that would allow her to hear dictation
  played through her soundcard in one ear and software speech in the
other,
  with separate volume controls for each as would be allowed with an
  external
  synthesizer.  Assuming that such headphones exist and could be easily
  configured to whatever PC setup, they might theoretically provide an
  alternative to a hardware synthesizer.  Someone directed her to
Plintronic
  headphones that will supposedly do this, but I don't exactly see how it
is
  possible.  I mean, maybe I'm stupid, but on my system with a
Soundblaster
  Live card and dual speakers I don't think thechannels are split
according
  to
  speaker, so how could this be accomplished via a headset without either
  separate speakers or another soundcard, or am I missing something?  In
  fact,
  most of the time I'm not even sure that both speakers are working, or at
  least not to capacity, so is this really doable?  For myself, I also
have
  a
  four-channel stereo mixer which my techie son helped me to set up so
that
  I
  can easily control my PC volume along with an external transcriber or
  hardware synthe and hear them through one pair of headphones, but this
  kind
  of sounds like the opposite process, if that makes sense.  This is
  probably
  audio 101 for most of you but I really would like to understand what is
  possible.  Please feel free to write me on or off list if you could
either
  point me to specific headphones for this and/or suggest how this is to
be
  done.  Many thanks.
 
  Susan

I think that the 12-CD models are monoral speakers, and the 24-CD models

I just bought the TDK I'mASpeaker.  I thought the sound would be in 
stereo. It seems the jack on the speaker turns the sound from a portable 
CD player from stereo to mono.  The manual doesn't say specifically if it 
is stereo or mono.  Although it has a good loud sound, I am disappointed 
that it isn't actually a stereo device.  Any comments or suggestions as to 
another model or something?

DVD's hold more then CD's. They are the same physical size. Some car

times as many MP3's onto a dvd as you can onto a CD.
