Rip Function

Extracting data from a recorded CD/DVD and saving it as a file onto your hard disk is called ripping. You can then use these files to create multiple CDs by adding them into the field as a track image. You can rip the following files from CDs:

  • Audio (WAV/MP3/TwinVQ) files from an audio CD.
  • Image files from Data CDs and all DVDs.
Tip
You can only rip CD/DVD discs that are not copyright protected.

Audio Track Formats

You can convert audio tracks into the following three formats.

MP3 (ACM) Uses Windows standard MP3 CODEC (ACM CODEC). The files are encoded at radio broadcast quality, 56kbps/22050Hz. There is not limitation on this format. When using this format, you can set the format and genre options.
Note: If this format does not appear, download NetShow from the Microsoft Website.
MP3 (IIS) This format uses the MP3 CODEC in the B's Recorder GOLD5 MP3 Encoder IIS engine. As well as the options available with MP3 (ACM), you can also set the quality option to [High Quality], [Standard] or [High Speed].
Note: The MP3 Encoder is time-limited to 30 days use after the first B's Recorder GOLD startup, or 20 total file conversions. You may obtain your B's Recorder GOLD "MP3 Encorder Key Code" to utilize full MP3 functionality. Click here for more details on the MP3 Encoder.
TwinVQ This format uses the B's Recorder GOLD5 TwinVQ CODEC. TwinVQ compresses files to less than those of MP3 without a decrease in audio quality. The number of devices, however, that support TwinVQ are limited. When using this format, you can set the format and quality options.
