Ripping CD to OGG

Postby nathandelane » 15 Jun 2008 00:53

Hi I am using 0.8.6h of VLC on Windows and I can't seem to rip a track from a CD to OGG Vorbis. I have tried both opening the disc directly and saving the stream as OGG/MPEG 1/WAV/RAW and Vorbis and MPGA combinations. But nothing seems to be working. The file just ends up being 0 bytes. Has anybody had very recent success with this?

There are better tools for CD ripping. For example EAC and CDex.
If you want to use VLC, I hope http://en.flossmanuals.net/VLC/RipCD that works. If it doesn't, open View -> Messages before ripping and paste logs here.

CloudStalker (that would be me) wrote an entire tutorial on ripping CDs using Exact Audio Copy. It was originally written for encoding in lossless but with a change to the Commandline Options and File Extension it can be used for OGG encoding. :) If ye want, CloudStalker can post in it in the Coffee Corner.

CloudStalker's guide could be good however. HA.org's wiki has a (short) guide on setting up EAC with Ogg Vorbis:
http://wiki.hydrogenaudio.org/index.php ... Ogg_Vorbis

Also for EAC configuration:
http://wiki.hydrogenaudio.org/index.php ... figuration

However as VLC_help said VLC can be used too by streaming to a file, just it doesn't have built in error correction etc.
