SACD Ripping using an Oppo or Pioneer? Yes, it's true!

[Redbeemer]

I am a bit late to this party, but yesterday I tried ripping an SACD with the Sonore software using both an Oppo BDP-103D and and Oppo BDP-105 without success.  At first the drawer wouldn't open, but I used a different USB stick which solved that problem.  However, it seems my Windows 10 PC is just not communicating with the player as I am getting the exact same message RoDe highlighted above regarding Failed to Connect.  Can't Open 192.XXX.XX.XXX.  I am have set both my players to a fixed IP address and verified their address both with my router software GUI and the Oppo media player GUI.  The one thing I am not certain of is if a port number is necessary?  I have just been using the default "0" port setting as the above router and Oppo media player softwares do not indicate any port #.  I tried for about three hours and always got the same Failure to Connect, etc. message.  I would really appreciate any help with this.

Yes.  Unless it pops up, try 2002

I think it has to be port 2002 have you tried that? It was 2002 for me at least. Also make sure that the IP address is the same in the sonore app and the Oppo, that is where it went wrong for me. Well that and the thumb-drive not being properly formatted.

Thanks to you both, Kal and RoDe, you were spot on.  As I write this, the first SACD is ripping away using the 2002 port entry.  Thanks so much for your kind replies!

[Jeff Miller]

Redbeemer, I had the same problem as you. I however had port 2002 engaged and it still would not rip. I am using a 32G thumb drive. Someone said it has to be a 2 or 4G thumb drive to work. I am perplexed and need help please.

I used two 4Gb USB drives, but the first one never caused the drawer to eject from the player.  It is a generic brand drive.  So I grabbed an old Sandisk USB drive and copied the files onto it and when I inserted it into the player, the drawer opened.  Does the drawer open when you insert your USB stick?  Also, how is the drive formatted?  I think it may need to be Fat32 for the Oppo to read it.

The drawer opens and nothing happens when I close it. Everything was done correctly like you did. I’m using 32g usb drive.

That's the expected behavior.

That's questionable, since it's not working for you. None of the various instructions are 100% complete or perfect however, so ...

 

Anyway, you don't even mention which player you're using, which instructions you were following, where you got the autoscripts etc. from, which network interface you're using on your player, how that is configured, which Operating System you're using for the ripping software, the network configuration of the computer you're using, and whether or not you can ping your blu ray player (from that or any other computer). Without all that information, it'll be difficult to help you.

Nothing should happen when the drawer closes, except the player should recognize that it is an SACD.  Once that happens, then you start the Sonore software and once it has fully opened and you have set your IP address and stereo/multi-channel preference, you click on the button to begin the rip.  After about ten seconds, you should begin to see information from the disk on the window in the lower portion of the Sonore software and then it will start showing that it is ripping the first track and the % of completion of both the track rip and the total SACD rip.  It will tell you when it is finished with the entire process and you quite the Sonore software and take out the SACD and insert another if you want to rip another.  You then start the Sonore software again.

Is it safe to say you have an enclosing folder called AutoScript at the root level of the flash drive, and that enclosing folder contains the 3 items in the download?

 

 

If your computer discards the enclosing folder on download, then just create a new one and place the contents into it.

Although all of my rips yesterday were using an Oppo BDP-103D, I also own a BDP-105; so thinking that perhaps something might be different with the 105 compared to ripping with the 103D, I just now used the same USB stick with the same files inserted into my 105 and using the same port (2002) entered into the Sonore software (along with its IP address), I am now ripping Dark Side of the Moon SACD using my Oppo BDP-105.  So we know that the exact same procedure, including the port number work on both Oppo players.  If you have not already done so, I suggest you get a clean 4 Gb USB stick and try that, making sure you have the correct files in it. 

Good luck!

That is exactly what I'm going to do. My nephew has an old 4G USB Stick hanging around that I will get tomorrow. Best buy does not sell anything this small. I don't think you can buy these anymore.

And the question I posed above?

The size of the stick has nothing to do with it. It's all about the partitions and the file system. Read the last 5 or 6 pages of this thread and pick a  method to prepare the stick properly. Also, please answer all questions, don't pick just one....

Greetings!

I am so excited to have found this forum.

I have a ton of SACDs and I now have a Sony S590.

I understand that I need the sacd_extract_160 file to put on the thumb drive.

Could someone point me to the location?

Thanks a lot.

You'll need the entire AutoScript folder as shown in Post # 4536, however the link there is for the Oppo script. Use this one instead for the Pioneer-Sony script.

Thanks MikeyFresh!

It all worked!

So grateful for all that contributed.

Thank you all for the amazing information reported in this topic! I was able to rip all my SACDs with a Sony BDP-S4100 without a single issue. I bought the player (€50 on ebay, used) on purpose, I enabled the quick start option in the menu, and inserted a USB memory with the files described in MikeyFresh's post above. The tray opens on start-up, but there is no other sign that the script is working. Once I inserted the disc, I switched the player off to unmount the disc and then I proceeded to connect to the player with iso2dsd and start the ripping process. I was amazed that everything worked at the first try: it is telling of how much effort you guys have put in perfecting this method and making this information available to everyone.

Agreed.

 

And for anybody who knows about these things. If there were changes made to the software/scripts, could it be possible to save an entire SACD back-up as an .iso file directly to an 8GB+ USB stick? ie: without having to network the player to a computer ;)

Yes it is already a reality, using the appropriate AutoRip script for your Blu-ray player.

[Wanderlust]

Rip .iso (multi channel) via OPPO 103d to my iMac. 

-Extract .dsf (code 2ch or multi) to iMac. 

-Burn (not copy) to BluRay either 2ch or multi (third party software not needed).  

Playback on OPPO 205. 

-Enjoy.

Well your wish is coming true 😎

 

The special script type is called AutoRip - just watch this short but neat video demonstration (by @MikeyFresh).

 

Thankfully @Dick Darlington, hosted all of the AutoRip scripts here.

If you want to know which script fits what player model - use this overview.

 

Happy AutoRipping!

[Redbeemer]

This is neat stuff!  Special thanks to MikeyFresh and Nexus3 as well as Dick Darlington for their excellent work.  Thanks for sharing, guys!

I haven't tried the autorip scripts yet, but the "normal" scripts with an Oppo 103 also work from an USB harddrive, as long as the partition table and file system are "good enough". However, if you rip to an ISO, FAT 32 has a size limit of 4GB, so ripping may fail if you have an disc with more than about 90 minutes of play time.
