    Guide To Ripping DVD and Blu-ray Audio Using The Dark Side Of The Moon Immersion Box Set

    dsotm-brd-thumb-200.pngRipping the audio from CDs, DVDs and Blu-ray discs has never been easier and there's never been a better time than now to start ripping. Pink Floyd recently released The Dark Side Of The Moon Immersion Box set containing six physical discs including three Redbook CDs, two DVDs, and one Blu-ray disc. The ease of ripping audio from plastic discs and the plethora of new content available from Pink Floyd have given me great reason to create a thoroughly updated DVD and Blu-ray disc ripping guide using the new Dark Side Of The Moon Immersion Box Set. Pink Floyd fans and enthusiasts of music stored on plastic discs rejoice, one's favorite two channel and multi-channel music can now be liberated.

    <a name="intro"><b>Introduction</b></a>

     

    I set out to rip the new Dark Side Of The Moon Immersion Box set like a normal Pink Floyd enthusiast. This quickly turned into a major undertaking that included scanning almost every piece of artwork including the scarf, uploading these images to <a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/customer-media/product-gallery/B004ZNARH4/ref=cm_ciu_pdp_images_all">Amazon</a><a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/customer-media/product-gallery/B004ZNARH4/ref=cm_ciu_pdp_images_all"><img src="http://images.computeraudiophile.com/ca/icons/ex.png" style="padding: 0pt 0pt 0pt 3pt;" alt="link"></img></a> for everyone to use, rewriting all the album credits and information into a file on my computer for use as metadata, and deciphering exactly what audio was extractable from the DVD and Blu-ray discs. The whole process took way more hours than I care to share, but I'm happy to share the following instructions, screenshots, and videos that will make everything a breeze for CA readers.

     

    This guide to ripping audio from plastic discs will work with nearly all discs available at the time of this writing. I'm using my own legally purchased copy of The Dark Side Of The Moon Immersion Box Set in the illustrations below. I will never make the ripped files available for download as that's simply preposterous. I hope readers will elect to purchase the Immersion Box Set once they see how easy it is to rip the audio from the discs.

     

    My previous guide to ripping DVD-Audio, DVD-Video (Audio) and HDAD Discs is still valid and available <a href="http://www.computeraudiophile.com/content/How-Rip-DVD-Audio-DVD-Video-Audio-And-HDAD-Discs">here</a><a href="http://www.computeraudiophile.com/content/How-Rip-DVD-Audio-DVD-Video-Audio-And-HDAD-Discs"><img src="http://images.computeraudiophile.com/ca/icons/ex.png" style="padding: 0pt 0pt 0pt 3pt;" alt="link"></img></a>.

    <a name="cd"><b>Compact Disc Ripping</b></a>

     

    This information is for discs 1, 2, and 6. Readers uninterested in Redbook CD ripping should skip to the next section. Readers interested in a thorough article about ripping CDs should first read my <a href="http://www.computeraudiophile.com/content/Computer-Audiophile-CD-Ripping-Strategy-and-Methodology">CD Ripping Strategy & Methodology</a><a href="http://www.computeraudiophile.com/content/Computer-Audiophile-CD-Ripping-Strategy-and-Methodology"><img src="http://images.computeraudiophile.com/ca/icons/ex.png" style="padding: 0pt 0pt 0pt 3pt;" alt="link"></img></a>. There is no need to rewrite the information contained in that guide as the main thrust of this article is DVD and Blu-ray ripping. That said, here is some information showing readers how to embed album art for the Front Cover, Back Cover, Media, etc… and view the metadata embedded into each file.

     

    The following four images depict the Front Cover, Back Cover, Media (CD), and an included Box Set illustration being embedded into The Dark Side Of The Moon tracks. Using dBpoweramp select the minus (-) symbol above the cover art that's automatically selected from the Internet. This clears the unwanted art before ripping the CD. Then select the plus (+) symbol followed by Load (from File). This enables selection of an image already on one's computer. Please download the images I uploaded to <a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/customer-media/product-gallery/B004ZNARH4/ref=cm_ciu_pdp_images_all">Amazon</a><a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/customer-media/product-gallery/B004ZNARH4/ref=cm_ciu_pdp_images_all"><img src="http://images.computeraudiophile.com/ca/icons/ex.png" style="padding: 0pt 0pt 0pt 3pt;" alt="link"></img></a> if needed during this process. By default the first image is use for the Front Album Cover and the second image for the Back Album Cover. After adding an image of the actual CD sleet the plus (+) symbol again followed by Current Art Description then select Media from the ensuing menu. Most playback applications don't support added images as of this writing. However, the Aurender music server's iPad application does support Front and Back Album Covers. The more people using extra images the more applications will support these images.

    The following four images show what metadata is viewable via the Windows operating system and an easy way to edit this metadata using dBpoweramp. The first two images simply show the metadata available through Windows. It's possible to edit some of this data by clicking the field in the lower blue area. The second two images show the metadata editing options available after selecting a track from within a folder, right-clicking the track and selecting Edit ID-Tag. This view displays much more metadata than many users know can be embedded into each file in addition to the extra images embedded via the aforementioned process.

    <a name="dvd"><b>DVD Ripping</b></a>

     

    I recommend using DVD Audio Extractor for ripping the DVDs in The Dark Side Of The Moon Immersion Box Set. It's a very solid program that works 99% of the time. The rolling instructions and screenshots describe and depict what's available on the DVDs and how to extract the audio into different formats.

     

    Disc 3 in the Box Set is a DVD that contains a such set of audio tracks in both stereo and multi-channel. DVD Audio Extractor allows the user to view the available tracks and extract the audio in the native format or convert to a different format on the fly. The initial DVD Audio Extractor screen is a bit confusing to the untrained eye. The image below is what a users sees after inserting the DVD. I've added red text to help explain each section of the window. Title3 on this DVD is the only Title containing pertinent audio thus I've placed a check mark in the Title3 box. Five different options are available for extraction, each of which contains the same ten Dark Side Of The Moon tracks.

    Disc 4 in the Box Set is a DVD that contains videos with little audio extraction value. The image below is what a users sees after inserting the DVD. I've added red text to help explain all the different Titles available. Two different options, LPCM and AC3, are available for extraction on all Titles except Title10.

    <a name="brd"><b>Blu-ray Audio Ripping</b></a>

     

    Over the last year ripping Blu-ray audio has continued to get easier and easier. I recommend using the applications eac3to, HdBrStreamExtractor, and Passkey for Blu-ray. The Dark Side Of The Moon Immersion Box Set Blu-ray disc contains THE big ticket item for two channel computer audiophiles and Pink Floyd fans, the Original Stereo Mix from 1973 in RAW/PCM at 24 bit / 96 kHz. The two other items of note are the 2003 5.1 Surround Mix in RAW/PCM at 24 bit / 96 kHz, and the 1973 Quad Mix in RAW/PCM at 24 bit / 96 kHz.

     

    Instead of writing instructions for ripping The Dark Side Of The Moon Immersion Box Set Blu-ray disc I created a series of videos that walk viewers through the process. In the first video I extract the two, four, and six channel mixes into three separate FLAC files. Each of the three mixes contain no metadata. The second video covers adding metadata and album art to these large FLAC files. The third video demonstrates how to split the single file created for the two channel mix into ten separate tracks using a cue sheet and J River Media Center. The cue sheets can be downloaded here for convenience, <a href="http://files.computeraudiophile.com/2011/1005/DSOTM-2.0-24-96.cue">Two Channel Cue</a>, <a href="http://files.computeraudiophile.com/2011/1005/4.0%2024-96.cue">Four Channel Cue</a>, and <a href="http://files.computeraudiophile.com/2011/1005/5.1%2024-96.cue">Six Channel Cue</a>. (Readers may have to right-click (Windows) or control-click (Mac) to select the cue sheets for download). Finally the fourth, and completely optional, video demonstrates how to convert highly compressed FLAC files into uncompressed FLAC files.

    Hi Chris,<br />

    Used your tutorial to rip the various audio files from the Blu ray and it worked fine. Thanks for that!<br />

    <br />

    I am able to easily rip the audio from my DVDs using DVD Audio extractor - purely so i can listen to what seems to me to be much improved audio quality over my Hi Fi and streaming set up without having to load the disc. I and assumed I would be able to use the same procedure as given for the DSOTM rips to do the same with Blu ray discs but find I can't.<br />

    <br />

    When I try something similar on my other music Blu rays - it stalls at the step after generating the features list when I click on a "feature" to generate a stream list, nothing happens.<br />

    <br />

    My understanding of the process is pretty rudimentary so there is probably something here that is obvious to you guys but not I'm afraid to me so some help would be appreciated.<br />

    <br />

    I'm guessing its something to do with the fact that there are separate audio files in the DSOTM but there do not seem to be in the Blu rays I'm trying.<br />

    <br />

    The other thing I note is that most of them don't give the number of bits but do give the sampling frequency e.g. when I hover the mouse over the features list I get a box with info such as the following in it.<br />

    - Chapters, 31 chapters<br />

    - h264/AVC, 1080i60 /1.001 (16:9)<br />

    - Raw/PCM, English, Stereo, 48 kHz<br />

    - AC3, English, Multi-channel, 48 kHz<br />

    - DTS Master Audio, English, multi-channel, 48 kHz<br />

    <br />

    And all but one of my Blu Rays seem to only have 48 kHz sampling rates - I have one at 96 kHz and the DSOTM. <br />

    <br />

    Is 48 kHz likely to give any noticeable improvement in sound compared to the 44.1kHz used on CDs?<br />

    <br />

    Is this typical for Blu Rays in terms of the audio quality - I had assumed they were HD audio but it appears most of them are merely HD video and standard or slightly enhanced audio quality.<br />

    <br />

    Finally if I was successful would it be illegal?<br />

    <br />

    Funny, you guys are trying to get the AC3 out of your rip, and I'm wondering how to preserve the DTS-HD in the extraction! Chris, can you help us out here? There are a lot more things going on in Blu Ray than PCM...in fact PCM seems like just about the last thing they use on the discs these days. It would be nice if you could maybe address discarding the dolby stream or transcoding it to LPCM, as well as preserving the more esoteric (and superior sounding) DTS-HD (as opposed to the DTS core) in flac or wav. There seem to be more variables than are present in the PF discs. In fact these seem like a piece of cake to rip compared to some of the other problem discs discussed here (the lady gaga thing, Steve Wilson's DTS-HD masterpiece, ect). FWIW when I ripped the Wilson Blu ray I got PCM files. I believe (based on very subjective AB) that I just received the DTS portion of the file which was somehow made into PCM...the DTS-HD part did not come as part of the rip I did for whatever reason. It leads me to believe that I am only getting the core DTS and not the extra bits in the HD. The SQ sounds very different listening to the bluray proper with DTS-HD than the flacs with just the PCM information. Somewhat like hearing DSD converted to PCM...you lose some subtleties somewhere along the line. YMMV of course but that seems to be what I hear from this particular rip.

     

    Bleedink - did you ever get a response to your post? I have not found the answer yet, as I'm wondering the same thing on trying to rip the DTS-HD from Grace for Drowning, and now from the most recent Steve Wilson collaboration with Mikael Åkerfeldt (Storm Corrosion) that also comes with a Blu Ray disk.

    Hey Chris,

     

    Thanks for the guide. I've used your methods to successfully rip hi-res audio from 8 Blu Rays I've purchased without issue.

     

    However, I'm having issues with Blu Ray #9, which is "Counting Crows August and Everything After: Live At Town Hall" . HdBrStreamExtractor does not recognize any streams on this disk. It recognizes two 'features' (the top panel) but not any streams of the features. (the streams are still recognized on other Blu Rays).

     

    I'm wondering if anyone else has run into this and perhaps there is a work-around or another similar utility that will work better. I bought this Blu Ray specifically to rip the audio, so hopefully something will work.

    I have resolved my issue. The version of DVDFab PassKey 8 I was using was backlevel and a trial version which could/would not decrypt the disk. I believe the Counting Crows Blu Ray was released August 2011 and newer than others I had ripped, and had different/newer encryption.

     

    I updated the software and purchased a license (they had an online coupon, which provided a $12 discount) and then ripped the Counting Crows DVD. I must say the 24/48 2-channel track sounds wonderfull--up there with some of the best Hi-Res I have, including 24/192. Blu Ray rips of "Certifiable" by the Police (24/96) and 'Live Anthology' by Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers (24/96--Blu Ray from deluxe box) also sound particularly excellent.

    Chris

     

    I've read this and your article on your CD ripping methodology with great interest, thanks so much!

     

    I'm trying to decide whether to buy and set up (I'm an all-Mac guy except for audio measuring and simulation purposes) a Windows notebook (they're cheap), or use one of our Macs.

     

    Curiuos if you have a preference for VM Ware versus Parallels (the people at Linn appear to).

     

    Also, I assume one need not install Windows to run dbPoweramp and DVD Audio Extractor?

     

    Thanks in advance!

     

    Greetings from Switzerland, David.

    Using BootCamp would be preferable to both...

    Thanks! However, coming to the conclusion that it would be easier as well no more expensive to buy a Windows Notebook for the purpose, or go the cheap way and use XLD on one of our Macs.
