Help Ripping VCD

[mrblue]

Has anyone actually ripped a VCD and was able to eventually add the songs to KJAMS? What VCD Ripper did you use and can you walk me through the steps you took to get this done? I'm using a Windows laptop.

I'm answering my own question since I figured out how to do this. I downloaded Handbrake which allowed me to rip both VCD and DVD formats, and encode them to m4v files. I stored the encoded files on a folder on my hard and then used KJAMS to add them to the library.

You may be stoked to know that I just added VCD ripping support right inside kJams. New release maybe tonight!

[mrblue]

Great. I'll have to try it out when it becomes available. I have a few more VCDs that I want loaded in KJAMS.

When will you make the VCD ripping within KJAMS available? I didn't see any new release.

[dave]

i'll make a rogue when i can, maybe in the next couple days but i'm officially on vacation

[mrblue]

I Installed the new version that is supposed to be capable of ripping VCDs. Tried it out and the CD icon that appeared when I ripped CD-Gs was not available. So, how am I supposed to rip the VCD? How do I select the songs to be ripped?

Also, under the File Menu, the Rip Selected is grayed out (i.e. not functional)

I only have one VCD to test with. Please message me on iChat so i can see yours.

I don't have IChat and I don't know what it is. Don't you have a PC with Windows on it that you can use to test? I really think you can sell a lot more if you get this Windows version working properly.

The reason i want to see it on YOUR computer is because mine IS working properly. Yes i have a PC, and it works fine. I'd like to see the disc you have, we can do a screen share using other means.
