How do

Have recently recieved Ben Folds Five : Session 54th and i wanna put the gig on a CD to listen to when im walking about.

My mate has a standalone music CD Burner, my thoughts were i could just stick the coaxial that goes to my Surround Amp into the CD Burner and use the LPCM track to record it.

But how would i get them to sink, cause surely it would start recording as soon as it got a signal, and also, would it copy the track start/stops or not?

Cheers for any help!

You could check out http://www.digital-digest.com/ and goto the DVD-Digest section you can actually find files which will help you rip the audio of a dvd and convert it to .wav or even .mp3 files, basically it lowers the quality but the quality is going to be lowered anyway if you require it on CD!!!

Although this all depends on whether u have a dvd player on ur computer!!!

I would connect the dvd/tv to the amplifier via a standard lead.The you can simply record onto a cd,via the amplifier.I have not tried this,and don't know if the audio from a dvd is protected in some way,but thats what i would do.

Connect the stereo audio outputs of your DVD player into your computer, and then use some audio recording software to record it as 44.1kHz 16-bit stereo.

Dead easy.

It is actually very simple. Just set the output of the DVD player to PCM and select the DD2.0 soundtrack on the DVD and then connect the DVD to the Music CD recorder using the co-ax lead you usually use from the DVD to the amp. Set the CD recorder to synch-mode or whatever and set the DVD playing. The only thing that won't work automatically is the track marking so you'll need to do that manually. (Your mate should know how to do that, alternatively consult the CD recorder manual).

If you want to monitor what you're recording, then just connect the analogue audio outputs to your amp and you can listen as you go.

Hope this helps.

Alternatively could I plug the dvd player into my minidisc recorder instead of a CD recorder?

My understanding is that you can make a copy in order to protect the original from damage, however, you can only make one, unless the back-up gets lost or damaged and then you can make another.

Anyways, seems as the question has been answered, i think this post should now be closed!

Cheers for your help!
