copy dvd music to cd/r

[pinkfloyd4ever]

Is this even possible? Say, hypothetically, I had some pink floyd DVDs that are not on CD. Can the music be burned off the DVD and recorded onto a CD?

[Caleb S]

Yes, however; I do not believe it is legal.

Besides legality issues you have to find out if they will fit.

There's a reason they are on DVD instead of CD.

A DVD single layer holds 4.5gb of data, a CD only 650mb, which means it will take approx 7 CDs to hold same data 1 DVD does.

The best bet woudl be to play it on a DVD player and have the sound go into your computer. You could record it then with some free ware. Once it's recorded you can put the music on a CD or two. The Music itself would fit on a CD the DVD is that size because of the video. I believe as long as you own the DVD you won't be breaking any laws.

If you search for "rip dvd audio" you will find several sites. I think Winamp will do it. And it is free

Is this DVD video too? As mentioned earlier, there is a huge difference in capacities between a CD and DVD. CD = 700 MB and DVD = 4 GB close to 6 times as much on DVD. If your DVD is video too you will have to find a way to play the DVD and record the music to the PC and then create a CD from that.

Make any sense?

Ok, sounds good, I see what people are talking about.Could do it the old fashioned way and play the DVD and run my AV cords to a stereo and record them onto good ol' cassette tapes!

Last time I did something like this I used a program called virtualdub.

It takes both video and audio off of DVD if it isn't copy protected--which my project wasn't--yours likely is.

Worth a shot though. It's freeware.
