Title: how do i copy a DVD-A disc?
Post by: Cooker on February 08, 2004, 01:24:51 PM

not looking like DVD XCopy will copy a DVD-A - and don't want to coaster a B&P'er's discs to try it with DVD Decrypter. Don't have discwelder - have DVD XCopy Xpress - i'll buy the platinum version if it'll definitely do it...

Has anyone successfully copied a DVD-A disc before? This is not a storebought DVDA - it's one from Smiley...  trying to fill my WSP NYE B&Ps...

The only DVD-A disc I have right now is a commercial Bob Marley release.   I used DVD Decrypter to extract and Nero to burn.  The disc plays fine.  

Unless there is a better way I'm planning to use this combination for trading DVD-A. I imagine 1 of the Discwelder versions will do this as well.  For the time being I'm waiting until the Steel vs Bronze issues are ironed out before I buy.

kyle-you should be able to rip the AUDIO_TS folder onto your HD and then burn it and an empty VIDEO_TS folder as a data disc.  that should give you a working dvd-a.  i'd suggest trying it with one of your own first.

i didn't think it was possible to rip a dvd-a disc without discwelder software.  i'm gonna have to try the method mentioned tho and see what happens.

Decrypter worked like a charm

Mode - > ISO Read to Read
Mode -> ISO Write to write
select the .MDS file, not the .ISO file when browsing for an image to write



DVDA > WAV, now THAT is a tough one. Impossible by design. but i was sure copying them wouldn't be impossible once i figured out how to do it.....
