  1. I had some success through another route.

    I used my laptop computer as DVD player and got an optical output via an external sound card (Audigy 2NX). So you were right that it was a BluRay player problem rather than a minidisc problem.

    Other observations: don't use Sychro record as a DVD doesn't have tracks the same as a CD. It didn't put any track splits in, other than one in the middle of the first song (that now has a 2 second gap there). After the whole disc was finished I went through and manually inserted track splits.

  2. Thanks Guru,

    So you are saying the discs might allow copying but the player is changing SCMS bits? I think that particular Samsung is my only player with optical out.

    I have ripped DVDs but it is a lot of work, including sample rate conversion and some audio editing. One reason to go back to a PCM output was that I am trying to get the music only parts off of a Yellow Submarine DVD. I couldn't find them in a ripped DVD.

    Anybody else have any luck with digital recording via optical from DVDs?

  3. I found an optical digital lead and minijack adaptor, so thought I would try some digital recording on my MZ-RH10.

    My primary goal is to be able to pull sound tracks off of a number of music DVDs that I own. I know I can record via analog inputs but I was hoping the auto track features of Synchro Record would make things easier.

    I connected to a Samsung BluRay player and went into Sychro record mode. I got the message NO DIGITAL COPY which I take as running into SCMS restrictions. Well I tried 3 DVDs an SACD and a regular CD. All played on the BluRay play but none would record (as consolation the recorder recorded 3 seconds of silence every time I stopped the subject disc!).

    Is this the way it is? Will every disc have SCMS problems? Is there any way to really record a digital input or is this essentially a useless feature?

    I may just go back to my Tascam DR-07 for all my recording. Much easier.
