Advice Please!

[admin_exported]

Hello, l would be very grateful for some advice as to the following:-

l want to produce an audio (Lossless) CD from music recorded on a DVD in MP3 format.

It seems the Windows Media Player needs to produce an ordinary audio CD first, to be able to then convert to lossless.

Does anyone know of any software, preferably free, that will convert to lossless audio on the hard disk prior to burning to CD?

Thank you in advance.

Hi,ÿ

Hang on, the video(?) DVD has an MP3 soundtrack. Did you burn the DVD yourself in the first place?

If the soundtrack is MP3, there is no way of going back to lossless...

Indeed, once you have a lossy format, it cannot be made lossless by any conversion. You would have to re-rip from the original source.

Octopo, im liking the change of avatar. dunno why, but the last freaked me out a bit...

The Queen's head is the best one yet Octopo and to the OP the answer is no, but there are programmes out there that allow you to extract the soundtrack from a DVD, that may work but I do not know at what bit rate that is achieved. But as the others state a bit rate lower than lossless cannot be converted into lossless.

OK, thanks.

The DVD does not have a video film on it just MP3 music.

OK, then you can just drag and drop? Like mentioned, once the data has been lost in previous conversions to get the (lossy) MP3, you can't regain this data. Your only way around it is to re-rip the original material.
