Hi,

I have converted karaoke DVD to karaoke VCD, but the audio isn't right - interlude and vocal are not separated when plays in standalone DVD player.

I was wondering does anyone out there knows what to do, and what software to use.

Thanks in advance

Nathan

Greetings: I write this because are society is reaping evil from the movies and songs that are being made. These are leading people into sin and rebellion to God. Its just etertainment, fun, thats not true because people imatate what they see and hear, Satan knows that. The word of God decalares that all who cause people to sin shall be condemed. Woe to the the world for things that cause people to sin but woe to that man through whom they come. What does it profit a man to gain the whole world to lose his own soul? The word of God also declares that it is from the heart that these things are made, let us read Mark 7:20-23 And He was saying "That wich proceeds out of the man, that is what defiles the man. " for from within, out of the heart of men, proceed the evil thoughts, fornications, thefts, murders, adulteries, deeds of of conveting and wickedness, as well as deciet, sensuality, envy, slander, pride and foolishness. " All these things proceed from within and defile the man" Not only are the people making these things defiled, but those who watch them. Does God love you, yes, but that is no excuse to live is sin, He shall judge sin. Jesus died for us and rose again to save you to reject that is to pay the penalnity for your own sins. Are there hypocrites, yes but the hypocrites arent the ones who save sinners. Jesus said I am the way the truth and the life no one comes to me the Father but through me. In the same way, no movies can be made without a camera, no one can be saved without Jesus. The Lords judgement is coming may God open your eyes that you turn from your sins and be freed by Jesus!

I suppose you converted the DVD to VCD using any of those ripping tools like like flask, DVD2AVI, etc. The beauty of DVD for karaoke is that when Dolby 5.1 is used, the vocals channel retains its identity and can be turned on or off, with the minus-one music in the L and R front channels (and possibly in the surround) remaining always as they are: stereo; unlike in the case of VCD (or any other 2-channel audio medium L necessarily has to be music and R vocals, which means karaoke mode is L only mono). Very unfortunately, these DVD-ripping tools downconvert 5.1 channels to 2-ch, putting the vocal center equally on the resulting L and R which is contrary to karaoke VCD norm where L is music and R vocal. The only way around these is to have a s/w Dolby digital 5.1 decoder where you can extract the 5 channels discretely, and then manipulate them such that center is now R and all others are mixed mono into the L. This will be a heavy hitting-job that will require s/w Dolby digital encoder and decoder, plus a way of extracting the audio stream from the original *.vob to begin with.

What softwares should I use to rip a Karaoke DVD and then copy it to a CD-R? Thanks!

I'm not sure about this, but it seems to be common now that the "music" track and the "music + vocal" track is placed on seperate audio streams. (e.g. audio stream 1 would have the voice, and audio stream 2 turns the voice off).

That means, if u rip/convert using the normal way (e.g. dvd2avi/tmpgenc) you will need to pick the correct stream.

However, VCDs only have a "left" channel and "right" channel (stereo). So they traditionally put a voice on one side, and music on the other.

This means, to make a replica onto the VCD, you'd have to rip both audio streams (while downmixing to stereo), then make each stream mono, then combine the two to make a stereo audio that u can switch from left to right (voices on and off) in ur vcd player.

The best way to do this, i've yet to figure out.

Hope it helps.

As everybody know, karaoke Vcd has two audio tracks, Left channel and right channel, the left channel is just music and the right channel is the song, i would like to know how do you burn Vcd with this two channel separately ?
