Ripping DVD with

Posted by: willie45 on 10 March 2013

HI

 

I have a couple of 40th Anniversary King Crimson CDs which I want to rip. The box also contains a DVD with MLP Lossless 2.0 Stereo 24bits/96kHz files. I believe this will be substantially better sound quality and that if I use something like DVD Audio Extractor I can rip these and play them with Amarra. Is this right?


Thanks

Exact.

make sure you read DVD audio extractor instructions, you want to have files with maximum sampling rates and maximum word size, 96k/bits.

i have a few Crimson of the same edition, most theirDVD A comes with both the new remaster and the old one.

beware though, in general no metadata, which means you have to key in all info. You can do it through DVD audio extractor, except for the tagging.

Thank you fruchstuck. I have never used this program before and I don't really know anything about this type of file.

 

I will give it a go this weekend and report back

Hi Willie,

 

I downloaded DVD AE recently and it is very good. If it can't find the 2 channel files immediately use the search option at the top of the screen. The audio files are sometimes in the video folders and that confuses DVD AE. Also, consider unticking the playlist option if you are using a Unitiserve. It creates imported playlists which are impossible to remove (unless anyone knows different?).

 

i have ripped the ELP high res files (also mixed by "God-like genius" Steven Wilson) and plan to get the King Crimson discs.
