Extracting audio from a show

[BluesMan1]

I have a video from a show and i'm using Blaze Media and Acala to extract the audio files from that show. I succeeded extracting and converting the files with Blaze Media.

It seems that i can do it but it gives me a bunch of files (VTS_1_0) with the MP3 format but it seems to be too big to be added to a regular CD-R that i can play in my car.

What would be the best way to extract audio files from a DVD and put them on a regular CD-R media ?

I'm on this since 5 am this morning and it is now 1:30 pm and i'm just about to declare it "arrghhhhh"

Any additional information that you may have to make it easier would save me from climbing the walls

Thanks

Not sure what the free trial will allow, but I use
Xilisoft DVD Ripper

Thanks Keymaker, i'll see what i can do with it

[BluesMan1]

Xilisoft is working, i have now mp3's but even then the files are too big to fit on a regular CD-R....

Is there anything that i need to do after that to have them fit ?

Thanks again

Oups, my mistake,

I'm using Nero Express and i didn't see that it was DVD rather than CD-R that was in the menu selection at the top... my bad

Seems that i'm going to be able to burn the files.

Thanks again Keymaker

Your welcome.

[BluesMan1]

Now another problem, seems that it is happening only to me

I can not burn the files, it looks like that Nero wants to create an image of the files but that is the only option that i have, no other options are available. If i try to make a music CD, it's too big for a CD-R and if i keep the mp3 format, i can only create an image

Did i do something wrong ? It's becoming funnier all the time

Create an image, then burn that to CD.

[Keymaker]

How big is the mp3/s ?

Don't use express.

[BluesMan1]

The mp3 files are 200 Meg all together, if i try to change that to .Wav for a Music CD it gets a lot bigger than that.

Are you running into a problem with the length of time of the recording?

What capacities of blank CD-R and CD-RW discs are available?
Manufacturers commonly express disc capacity in terms of how much Red Book digital audio (in minutes) and computer data (in megabytes) a disc can contain. Historically, 63 minute/550 MB (12 cm) and 18 minute/158 MB (8 cm) discs were once available but are now rendered obsolete by advances in recording technology. Currently, 74 minute/650 MB, 80 minute/700 MB (12 cm) and 21 minute/185 MB (8 cm) discs are the market standards.

In .Wav format it's too big to fit on a regular CD-R, with the mp3 format it's around 200 Meg so it should be working but it's an image. I'm going to try to burn the image and see if i can make it work.

Thanks for the replies

[BluesMan1]

Ok now, i can burn the image, no problem but that is not what i need to do, the image is not a sound file (.nrg) and it doesn't play the songs.

I don't know if there is anymore options available with Xilisoft DVD Ripper but i'll try again and see if there is some more options to extract the audio from the show.

[paul9]

So you are trying to burn it as a .wav data file instead of as an audio CD?

[BluesMan1]

I tried mp3 format, .wav format, audio CD and it's not working.....

[Keymaker]

MP3 can be burned on to a CD-R directly playable on any player that supports mp3 media. You can copy the files to the drive and just burn using explorer. However, you want a regular CD? I

It should burn the tracks. You can give Deepburner a try.

[BluesMan1]

I succeeded at burning the mp3 files and it is playing on my computer. I also try Audio CD but then it doesn't fit on a regular CD-R.

[Keymaker]

A CD holds 700 MB..

I think its due to the conversion that takes place to make it a regular CD. However, there should be more than enough room for 200 MBs of converted MP3s. Have you tried Deepburner to make a regular CD?

[BluesMan1]

mp3's are about 200 megs, for the .wav format it's a lot bigger.

I removed the unnecesary audio files like interviews and others and it's still too big in wav format.

I didn't try Deepburner, will do it and see what it does.

Thanks again

[BluesMan1]

Tried Deepburner, for the Audio CD all together the files are 1.5 Gig so there is no way that i'm going to be able to put them on a regular CD.

I guess that i'm going to keep them in mp3 format

Thanks
