I have started ordering from Warner Canada to avoid the reclaiming tax process. Typically you need to wait 2-3 weeks longer than Rhino orders for new releases. That being said, I received the latest 4 atmos releases on Monday of this week which I thought was good. Current discount of 15% being offered which makes the Warner Canada purchase on par with Rhino after taking into account international shipping and exchange rate.
Yes, The new Joni Quads are giving me a BD+ error
Very audible two ticks on the Quadio disc. Only checked the stereo version.
All of them?
I copied all 4 using DVDFAB. I will try ripping them tomorrow with dvdae but I assume that they will work since the copy protection has been removed.It's going to take me awhile before I vote but on the first two, it's Dolby Atmos in the lead for For The Roses and Quad for Court and Spark. I'm not crazy about the Quad of FTR. The ATMOS is not perfect as well as I think the top end could be taken down a bit. The Quad of Court and Spark beats the Atmos as I think that the piano and vocals for instance are clearer. I like the placement of everything better as well. Isn't it great that we have a choice though.
DVD Audio Extractor + AnyDVD HD also works.
I didn't know that Anydvd hd could make an exact copy of a Blu-Ray with the copy protection removed. I like to put the entire disc on my hard drives so that I have the menus etc intact. I will settle for an mkv file when that doesn't work for some reason.
Both my Doors Greatest Hits and Fleetwood Mac RUMOURS arrived today. Listening session tonight! BTW, I'm in New York [suburbs]!
My Yamaha plays 7.1 all the time for both 4.x and 5.x streams without me doing anything. The back speakers are duplicates of the surrounds and play at the same level. To me this sounds way better than without the extra speakers.
DVDAE works fine when ripping from the copy where the protection has been removed by DVDFAB. I was able to rip everything on all 4 discs. Now for the laborious and time consuming task of tweaking things to my liking.
Using a Mac tho...
Or, by MakeMKV (using the "Backup" function).
Yep this is what I’ve done for all the Rhino Quadios so far, still waiting on the Joni box. AnyDVD HD can rip to either .iso or folder structure. There’s an option to leave the copy protection in place if you want that for whatever reason.
I have been using makemkv using backup, then using DVDAE on my iMac. This is the first set where I got a BD+ error!
It's all in what we are use to I guess.
Finally got it working. I tweaked a couple of settings and they are ripping!
