On the long run this might be the end of the format though.

Now everyone is able to explore for himself if hi-rez really sounds superior compared to Redbook or if some DVD-As are simply mastered better.

Hmmm,

As I understand it, the ripping will be done by grabbing the stream played by WinDVD. So like any other player playing audio straight from the DVD/CD, chances are high that artifacts will get into the stream right? Unlike ripping with EAC where erroneous data is reread for perfect accuracy?

Anyone try a 192khz 24bit rip yet. Did yours come out double speed? I had to do a 200% stretch resample in Audition to get it at normal speed. 96khz seems fine though. Also how can we determine if we are getting the original track in full resolution or the 48khz winDVD downconverted version, the readme is somewhat confusing. Anyone tried a surround (5.1) rip yet? PM me if you want to take this offline.

kamaurl,

This is potentially an issue but putting the dvd-a on your hard drive first can potentially help with this issue. Believe me the resultant audio sounds pretty damn good!

maybe something that shows you the frequency range and all that... if everything cuts off at 24KHz you're only getting 48KHz instead of 96

Andrewpc,

When I rip a 24/192 2-channel track like "ppcmripper 192000 C:/temp" it comes out as 24/192 and plays back at normal speeds.

When I rip a 24/96 6-channel track with the same command line string, it comes out playing at double speed.

My guess is that your 192khz track is in fact only 96khz, because my 24bit/192khz records that i rip with at 192000 and not 96000 play normally.

Hope this helps, try ripping it set to 96000.

I think I worked it out.

When I rip either, (6 x 96/24 or 2 x 192/24) from the decrypted DVD, eg the one I ripped first with DVDARipper, they both come out fine, and sound great. When I rip directly from the original DVD (retail) I get the 'fast' version. My hunch is that when ripping from the original I may actually only be getting the WinDVD downconverted version (48/24(16?) I believe) which when used with a command line that is not 48000, causes the speed up.

Your thoughts?

Andrew
