Rumz Posted March 26, 2005 Report Share Posted March 26, 2005 (edited) Just dabbling with FLAC for the first time-- any quick recommendations software-wise for converting FLAC to wav? What about DVD-audio ripping? I'm not talking about DVD-Audio discs, but just audio from standard DVDs. Any utilities there that anyone uses, or should I just hook up the old Hi-MD and do it old school? Edited March 26, 2005 by Rumz Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Syrius Posted March 26, 2005 Report Share Posted March 26, 2005 Jet Audio may rock your socks. It plays and converts everything to and from OGG, FLAC, APE, SPEEX, WMA lossless, WAV and some others. I think you need to register to get MP3 conversion, though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hironiemus Posted March 27, 2005 Report Share Posted March 27, 2005 dbpoweramp.com : a music player/converter you only have to download the codecs you need. (FLAC, Musepack, MP3, MP3pro, wma, ogg, mp4 [aac, mp4], Apple Lossless, Monkey Audio, Optim Frog, Shorten, Wavpack, mp2, AIFF, Au, Real Audio...whatever) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zerodB Posted March 27, 2005 Report Share Posted March 27, 2005 (edited) I have just ripped the audio from DVDs for the first time myself.You can use DVD Decrypter to extract the audio only.Use IFO mode, and enable stream processing to demux the appropriate streams. I just grab the stereo stream - I haven't tried it with surround sound as of yet.If all works well, you should end up with a bunch of *.ac3 (dobly digital files) lying around where you told DVD decrypter to chuck the files. The next step is just a simple process of conversion - you can get a Nero plugin for AC3 files from http://neroplugins.cd-rw.org/ and then convert the file to WAV, FLAC (a FLAC plugin is available for nero too!) or burn straight to CD.Be patient when fiddling around with DVD decrypter - if you delve into the options dialog, you will find a host of settings to tweak which will help you automate the DVD ripping process.Personally, I simply use Nero and that website full of plugins for most of my Audio needs - it saves the hassle of having to have different software. EDIT: Yes, you can convert FLAC to WAV. Edited March 27, 2005 by zerodB Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
