[Plasma2002b]

and in the future, if all else fails... do it in the 'brute force' way of media.....

put the cd in a regular cd player..... take line out from your CD player and put it into line in on your sound card........ get pretty any audio recoder program.......... play the cd.......... record from your computer...... save as MP3's!!

But yet... your way wont work. Because I already said, it wont play on the computer. There are NO music files, it's just a Flash EXE, and a few others.. there are NO .CDA music files on the CD.

Try CDEX [ http://www.cdex.n3.net/ ] I use that to rip all my audio and I havn't found a cd that it couldn't handle yet

-- Let me know if it works

Jester, Thanks. I'll try that with the other CDs I haven't ripped yet. But normally I'll use MusicMatch JukeBox Pro, it takes only a few minutes to rip an entire CD (averaging about 12 or so tracks).

Your CD PLAYER not your cdrom... It WILL work

Ahh... haha. I'm too lazy. Also, I've already ripped them to mp3s...so no need!

Actually, there are things to prevent that too, though I doubt that kind of copy protection would be on a CD. Some DVD players have something called Macrovision that prevents users from copying the DVD to video casette by attaching appropriate cables from the DVD player to a VCR. MY DVD player *used* to have this 'feature' until I...err...fixed it.

i dont understand how things like that work......

now heres my theory.....

If you can hook your DVD player up to your TV set with say, an S-Video wire, then WHY couldnt you just hook that S-Video cable into your VCR and pretty the record button?


your TV sees the signal, but why would it record differently if teh VCR is just a tuner like the TV itself.


and im not talking in terms of just an S-Video cable...... i guess the thing applies to coax, RGB, S-Video, and the other few formats out there. (optical?)

Macrovision is a technology that prevents exactly what you described. When a video signal encoded with Macrovision is recorded by a VCR, the recording will be garbage -- but it can play fine on a TV. It's been in widespread use on commercial VHS tapes for over a decade, and many (if not most) DVD players use it to encode their output. There are devices and VCRs that can negate the effects after the fact, and allow you to record it, but few people have them. Most people don't bother, because..

Recording a CD or DVD this way is an analog copy. +1 generation, yuck.

Go here for a short explanation of MacroVision. It doesn't get into the details, but it helps explain.
