Hi folks, Taken from the Blind Cool Tech list: DVD To Audio Extractor Demo 3/8/2008 Erin Edgar demonstrates this accessible program from www.castudio.org that rips the audio tracks from movie DVDs. 25.7 MB Link: www.blindcooltech.com and do a search for the name of the program.

At the recent VICS day in Cork, I asked Brian Hartgen about the general problem of DVD accessibility. He suggested I take a look at the shareware program DVD Audio Extractor. Haven't done so yet but I'm passing on the recommendation for anyone who may be interested.

Realplayer will also play DVD's and do so quite well. ----- Original Message ----- >From: "Ciaran Ferry" <Ciaran.Ferry@xxxxxx> To: <vicsireland@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Monday, December 08, 2008 9:11 AM Subject: [vicsireland] Re: Playing DVD's Joan Ann, You'll need to install a codec for windows media which will allow it to understand the way the content is encoded on the disk, for DVD data this is usually called MPEG-2. There are free codecs out there if you do a search in google, or if you trust Microsoft then a list of Microsoft approved ones are here: http://www.microsoft.com/windows/windowsmedia/player/plugins.aspx#DVDDec oder Power DVD seems to be a decent bet, it costs $14.99 according to this(http://www.burnworld.com/software/dvd-decoder/dvd-decoder-software. htm). I've had no experience with it personally though. You don't of course have to use Windows Media, it's possible that Real Player (or some other similar player) will have built-in support for MPEG-2. Others on here might know more about this than me. Hope this helps, Ciaran -----Original Message----- >From: vicsireland-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:vicsireland-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Joan Ann Brosnan Sent: 06 December 2008 12:23 To: vics Subject: [vicsireland] Playing DVD's Hi all I was trying to play a DVD on my laptop using Windows media player and, I got the following message "Windows Media Player cannot play the DVD because a compatible DVD decoder is not installed on your computer". Can I download a DVD decoder for Windows Media Player? Thanks Joan Ann. =========================================================== The vicsireland mailing list To unsubscribe at any time send a mail to: vicsireland-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx with the word "unsubscribe", without the quotes in the subject of the message.
