To those folks that have downloaded the Mp4s and the MP3 rips of the DVDs, what do you think? Quality of sound? Video quality? Are the individual tracks for the videos a good way to go? I have some righteous Who and some cute-as-a-bug Pat Benatar ready to go, but should I change anything? Video ripping is new to me.
The mp3 rips I made with DVD Audio Ripper are excellent. I play them through my iPod in the car and through my Altec-Lansing im7. Both sound great.
ReplyDeleteThey sound as good as any other mp3 IMHO.
ReplyDeleteSound quality of the audio rips is fine...a little treble-heavy, but still fine...able to EQ it out and it's a treat to have.
ReplyDeleteThere's a ton of DVD concerts I'd love audio rips of...ever hear/see the Stray Cats 'Rumble In Brighton' live concert DVD? Peter Gabriel's 'Growing Up/Live' DVD?
I haven't downloaded the iPod video portions...my iPod (60-gig) is so full of music...there's no ROOM for any videos on it!
Pat Benatar - do it!!! : )
Since the days of cassettes and VHS tapes; I've been making audio albums of my favorite concerts. With the advent of digital media (including CDR & DVD) the shows sound better than ever. If you've got some great music shows... rip away. I'll give them a listen to.

I ripped my Led Zep DVD to .wav using DVD Audio Extractor 4.2.1 and then encoded to 320k mp3. Sound is incredible. As with any digital audio -- the quality of the source is the only thing that really matters. I've heard great DVDs and poor ones.
ReplyDeleteBoost up the sound level a bit. I notice your settings for DVD rip are really low. I sometimes rip DVD audio and the trick is to turn the volume settings up a little lower than when they start peaking out. This should help a bit. Thanks for all the great quality classic concerts. Listening to all these live bands brings back memories when really GOOD bands used to turn out good music. Cheers!
ReplyDeleteYeah, I like the idea of ripping that Led Zep DVD. If you would consider posting that I would be so grateful. Thanks for the great blog!
