I need a little help...

I looked but I can't find.

 

I would like if someone could point me to the thread / articals that show you have to rip DVDs and SACDs to audio files. Also what the prefered software is.

 

Thanks

Darryl

SACD requires a specific generation Sony PS3 while DVD is a pretty basic operation. Not sure on the 'rules' of posting methods of violating copywright protection so I'll refrain until the moderator posts something. Sorry.

On the first two pages you'll find articles for ripping DVD, DVD-A, HDAD, and Blu-ray -> Computer Audiophile - CA Academy

 

Here's some SACD ripping info -> http://www.computeraudiophile.com/f11-software/sacd-ripping-using-your-ps3-part-2-a-7495/

Just want to mention that DVD/SACD ripping doesn't necessarily have to be a copyright violation, so folks shouldn't be scared of doing legitimate stuff. This isn't the place for a course on copyright law, much less the legal background necessary to put it in context, so I'll just say I recommend taking care to stay on the right side of the law.

Tell me if I understand this correctly.

 

I can only rip SACDs with a PS3?

That's by far the best way sonically. I think there are methods for doing so with an Oppo disc player through HDMI, but the results aren't going to sound as good. I'm not sure if the Oppo method necessarily involves going from digital to analog and back to digital again, or if there is a way to get digital (PCM?) output through HDMI.

 

The only way to keep the SACD material you're ripping in the digital domain and DSD format is, yes, to use certain older PS3 units that have older firmware.

Jud, you can record the PCM digital stream using an Oppo (or other SACD player with HDMI) and a HDMI switch with digital output.

 

But you're right, the only way to rip SACD while keeping DSD is with an older PS3.
