Hello valiant PyKaraoke developers, I just bought my wife her first karaoke CD which has 6 tracks with vocals and the same 6 tracks without vocals. The specific CD is #40024 from Chartbuster. I followed the instructions listed here: http://www.kibosh.org/cdgtools/usage.php
to rip and encode the tracks, which I guess is required to play it. Everything seemed to work, in that I didn't get any real warnings or errors during the rip/encode. However, playing the tracks is another story... When I play the produced mp3 files (with pympg), I get an all-black window and static in the audio. That's it. However, when I play the .cdg files (with pycdg), the video comes up just fine, but the audio remains all static. The static starts at approximately the time when you'd expect the music to start. I've tried performing the rip two different ways with cdrdao: $ cdrdao read-cd --driver generic-mmc-raw --device /dev/hdc --read-subchan rw_raw mycd.toc $ cdrdao read-cd --driver generic-mmc-raw --device /dev/hdc --read-subchan rw_raw --no-mode2-mixed mycd.toc (Note that the `--read-subchan rw' option does not work with the drive I have.) Another curious data point... the .cdg files are actually smaller than the .mp3 files. I would have expected the opposite. Is the audio track not even making it into the .cdg? I've run out of ideas... can anyone supply me with more? thanks, tim ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Open Source Business Conference (OSBC), March 24-25, 2009, San Francisco, CA -OSBC tackles the biggest issue in open source: Open Sourcing the Enterprise -Strategies to boost innovation and cut costs with open source participation -Receive a $600 discount off the registration fee with the source code: SFAD http://p.sf.net/sfu/XcvMzF8H _______________________________________________ Pykaraoke-discuss mailing list Pykaraoke-discuss@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/pykaraoke-discuss
