I don't know if this is the best forum for this but here goes...


I copied the Elton John MSG concert DVD to my Nomad Jukebox 3 the other day (I plugged the Nomad into the analog outs my DVD player. Now I've got a 2.5 hour MP3 file I would like to split into the individual songs. I've googled and found a bunch of splitters but I'm not thrilled with any of them for various reasons. I have the MS Plus Digital Media Edition which includes an analog recorder which I found is the easiest to split the MP3 file (I plug my Nomad into the line in of my audio card) but alas it only outputs WMA files and I want MP3.


Can anyone recommended either:

1. A good MP3 splitter, or

2. A better way to get my music DVD's into MP3 files.


Thanks

I use BeSweet from Doom9.org or you can find it a dvdrhelp.com

Thanks Mike

I spent a chunk of time last night and finally thought it might be running only to find out after a while iit "failed to rip". I was able to use the log file to get through my first couple of problems but the last log entries suggest it died without updating the log.


I really don't know the innards of DVD's (and really don't want to), VOB's, IFO's?? and lots of them. I'm willing to shell out some money for a product that doesn't rely so much on my knowledge

Search on DVDAUDIORIPPER from DVDtoX


I haven't used it but I do own and use their DVD to Divx product and am very happy with it.


Good luck, let us know how you make out.

There is another product called DVD Audio Extractor . I used it on the Eagle HFO concert DVD and it worked fine. It gives you several choices for the output format. I tested it with MP3 (it uses LAME).

Thanks everyone for your suggestions. Very high level and simplistic review.


Objective - Create mp3 files from songs on my concert DVD's.


BeSweet: Looks like a techie's dream but this old guys nightmare. Too complex for me. Never did get it to work but I blame me, not the product


DVDtoX: More "me friendly" but it locked up to often.


DVD Audio Extractor: The Winner. Doesn't seem to have a lot of options but does, very easily, what I want. Even though I can use it free for 30 days which would be enough time to run through all my DVD's, I'll buy the product.
