Free dvd audio ripper freeware software for linux

M3U Ripper is a Firefox extension that allows you to rip the contents of an m3u, wmx, or ram playlist file link by right clicking on the link and selecting the "Rip Playlist Contents..." option from the popup menu. The option will only appear if the URL ends with the proper file extension.

All the URLs in the M3U file are downloaded via the Firefox download manager to the default download directory or the one specified in the M3U Ripper options. You can also optionally have M3U Ripper create a sub directory with the playlist file name, create the remote playlist file, create a local playlist file, and filter URLs within the playlist files via regular expressions.

FDMS-3 Ripper is a Perl program for extracting the tracks from the FDMS-3 filesystem. I recently bought a Fostex FD-8 multitrack hard disk recorder for recording music. It works great, but I was disappointed to discover that, although it uses a standard external SCSI hard disk, there was no way to "rip" the recorded tracks from the hard drive to my PC over the SCSI port. The alternatives were to use the analog-out to re-record each track using my soundcard (resulting in loss of quality and loss of synch between tracks), or buying a $500 ADAT card for my PC.

I decided that I would try to figure out a way to rip the music directly over the SCSI port. The FD-8 uses a proprietary Fostex filesystem, FDMS-3. I decided to hook it up to my PC and probed the drive. I was able to figure out the basic layout of the filesystem pretty quickly. Note: this is designed to hard disks formatted in the FDMS-3 "Mastering" mode, which stores the audio data in uncompressed format.

In order to use the program, you will need to take the hard disk that has the FDMS-3 filesystem on it and hook it up to your PC (mine is a SCSI drive -- dont know if this will work with one of the internal IDE drives you can hook up to the FD-8). Make sure that Linux can see the drive (dont try to mount it, though!). You might want to have a look at SCSI-2.4-HOWTO to get the drive recognized. My external hard disk is located at "/dev/sda", but yours could end up elsewhere.

Next, you need to make sure you have the following on your system: perl, sox and fileutils (for the "dd" utility). Security Warning Unfortunately, this program presents significant security issues, so be careful with it. The script needs to be able to access the hard disk directly, so you can either run it as root (not safe), or change the permissons for the hard disk device (in my case, "/dev/sda"). Run the program with "./fdms3rip /dev/sda" (substituting the actual location of your hard disk).

This will list all of the programs present on the hard disk. Then, run it again with the number of the program you want to fetch off the hard disk: "./fdms3rip /dev/sda 5" to get all of the recorded tracks for program number 5. After waiting a bit, you should now have a bunch of WAV files on your Linux machine. Warning This program will create and erase files with the names "dir" and "header" in the directory it is run from. It would be best to run this program from a clean directory, just to make sure there are no problems.

MPEG Audio/Video Player is a simple MPEG and AC3 player for Linux, BSD, and Windows systems.
It plays MPEG transport, program, and elementary stream files. It also has basic DVD support (using libdvdnav on Linux/BSD sytems only).
Main features:
- Runs on Windows, Linux, and BSD systems.
- Plays MPEG Transport Stream, Program Stream, and Elementary Stream files.
- Basic DVD support (with libdvdnav on Linux/BSD systems only).
- Decodes MPEG 1&2 Video, MPEG Layer 2 Audio, and AC3 audio.
- All decoders use only integer operations, for faster performance.
- Flexible, and easy to use decoders, that can decode streams in chunks as small as 1 byte (buffering is not necessary).

Audio::Scrobbler is a Perl interface to audioscrobbler.com/last.fm.

SYNOPSIS

use Audio::Scrobbler;

$scrob = new Audio::Scrobbler(cfg => { ... });

$scrob->handshake();
$scrob->submit(artist => "foo", album => "hello", track => "world",
length => 180);

The Audio::Scrobbler module provides a Perl interface to the track submission API of Last.fms AudioScrobbler - http://www.audioscrobbler.com/. So far, only track submissions are handled; the future plans include access to the various statistics.

dvdauthor is a simple set of tools to help you author a DVD. The idea is to be able to create menus, buttons, chapters, etc, but for now you can just take an mpeg stream (as created by mplex -f 8 from mjpegtools 1.6.0) and write it to DVD.
dvdauthor is a program that will generate a DVD movie from a valid mpeg2 stream that should play when you put it in a DVD player.
To start you need mpeg files that contain the necessary DVD VOB packets. These can be generated by passing -f 8 to mplex. See the included utility makevob.
There are 3 steps to building the DVD directory structure on your HDD.
1. Delete a previously authored dvd
dvddirdel [-o dir]
WARNING! This will delete without discrimination the contents of the directory that you specify!
2. Create your titlesets
dvdauthor [-o dir] [audio/video/subpicture options] [chapters]
To create 1 chapter per mpeg, simply do
dvdauthor [-o dir] [a/v/s options] chap1.mpg chap2.mpg chap3.mpg...
To manually specify chapters, use the --chapters option
dvdauthor [-o dir] [a/v/s options] -c chap1a.mpg chap1b.mpg -c chap2a.mpg chap2b.mpg ....
To add chapters every fifteen minutes, do
dvdauthor [-o dir] [a/v/s options] -c 0,15:00,30:00,45:00,1:00:00,1:15:00... longvideo.mpg
Call dvdauthor for each titleset you want to create. Note that due to the DVD standard, all audio, video, and subpicture options must be set once for the entire titleset; i.e. you cannot mix pal and ntsc video in the same titleset. For that you must generate separate titlesets.
Run dvdauthor -h to see the audio, video, and subpicture options. Note that dvdauthor can autodetect most parameters except the language.
3. Create the table of contents
dvdauthor -T [-o dir]
Viola! You now have a DVD directory structure that will probably work! You can now write this out to your DVD, mini-DVD (CD), or just play it from your HDD. To generate the UDF image to burn to DVD, use mkisofs from cdrtools-1.11a27 or later. Simply pass it the -dvd-video option.
BTW, if you have an old HDD that you use for generating dvd images, you can create /usr/local/etc/dvdauthor.conf or ~/.dvdauthorrc and add the line:
WORKDIR=foo
Then you wont need to specify -o to dvddirgen or dvdauthor. Alternatively, you could just set
WORKDIR=mydvd
to always have it create a DVD in the current working directory.
