DVD-Audio ripper
Greetings
I just uploaded to RareWares a tool that enables WinDVD owners to rip full quality DVD-Audio tracks encrypted with CPPM. It does so by launching/patching WinDVD 5/6/7 and redirecting the stream to disk instead of the sound card after decryption. Check it out: http://www.rarewares.org Best regards; Roberto. PS: I didn't test it, as I don't have any DVD-Audio disk, so please don't flame me too hard if it turns out not to work :P |

Also, the guy that pointed me to it mentioned there is a catch: WinDVD won't play unencrypted and watermarked DVD-As. The logic is this: you can play encrypted with watermarking (original) you can play encrypted without watermarking (original) you can play unencrypted without watermarking (home) you can't play unencrypted with watermarking (pirate) Strangely enough, PowerDVD will play unencrypted and watermarked streams fine :B Last edited by bond; 15th August 2007 at 18:57. |

Quite honestly if these apps (or similar apps) can't strip the encryption from an DVD-A stream without re-encoding it to say WAV, I can't see the point of them!
I have around 20No DVD-A disc's and all of them come with an unencrypted 6Ch AC3 element. For all we know, the current 6Ch AC3 element sounds just as good as converting 6Ch DVD-A to 6Ch WAV Cheers

Admittedly, the WAV's could be used as a source to re-encode to other formats... But like I hinted at earlier, this can be done anyway by using the AC3 stream. That said, the audio quality of an "AOB->WAV->other format" might be better than an "AC3->other format", but would it be worth the effort? Cheers

However, the ultimate goal in backing up DVD-A disc must be generating a clean (non encrypted) DVD-A stream. rjamorim, if you don't have any DVD-A disc's of your own to try, please PM me and I'll post you one of mine! Cheers

That reminds me of a time when there was software that attempted to read DVD's using CD drives. I think it would attempt to read how the CD-ROM drive's laser would bounce off the DVD disc and try to interpret it into real data. This was back in the day when DVD drives cost about 300-400 dollars. Wow, I'm starting to feel old. |

Well, for what it's worth I can't get Gear Pro Mastering Edition to make a DVD-A on my PC. It reads the files and processes them, then prompts for video files, and after reading those the audio_ts files are gone.
ppcmripper.exe will decode 2 channels from the original DVD-A disc however. |

Testing this on my Michael Mcdonald - Motown DVD-A. The case says MLP so I ran ppcmripper. It's going now and making a wav file, should it be playing it and ripping in real-time like it is?
Edit- track 1 was only 42mb and no data from what I can tell. How can you tell if a disc is watermarked? It does have the DVDAUDIO.MKB file. Last edited by Nedfu; 6th July 2005 at 07:47. |

If the disc is protected and you're attempting to decode a multichannel mix it won't work, you need to rip the whole thing with dvdaripper first.
DVD Decrypter+DVDARipper-> .ISO -> PPMRipper gave me a nice 5ch 24/96 WAV...One 4:45 track was almost 500MB in size. FLACced that was about 260MB. |

I thought the Verance Watermark Secure Digital Music Initiative (SDMI) had already been been hacked (link)?, Jon Lech Johansen (aka 'DVD-Jon', the guy who officialy cracked CSS) released a new SDMI crack (link) recently but his link is now dead ...however (as always), google to the rescue => Jon+Lech+SDMI search (link), and SDMI crack DVD-A search (link)

I was able to rip the /audio_ts with dvdaripper, then I did the /video_ts with dvdecryptor. Then I created an iso of those 2 folders and mounted with alcohol. Windvd will play those and the information tab says it's downmixing the 24bit/44khz 6 channel packed PCM 6350kbit.
But then I burned the iso to a dvd+r and my pioneer dvd-a/sacd player chokes after telling it to play the 6 channel dvd-a track or 2 channel dvd-a track. Any ideas? |

@grug2k: What did you mount the ISO with, or did you actually burn it? |
