Truncated Audio Track When Ripping Sound From Dvd's In Emc10

[Blex Ink]

I'm a fairly new Roxio user -- less that a year. I record worship services at our church on DVD, and rip the sound tracks off the DVD's to make CD recordings for those who prefer that format. I originally selected the Roxio product because of their strong sound editing features. Unfortunately my new computer came with Vista and just was too much of a pain to try keep running Video Wave in EMC9. (My old computor was using Windows ME, so that was no option). I finally bit the bullet and upgraded to EMC10, which I am reasonably happy with, except for this one little quirk. Occasionally -- and I can detect no pattern -- the sound editor in EMC 10 will truncate the last few seconds of the end of a "chapter" sound track when I "import sound files from CD/DVD." Note that I have preveiously edited the DVD in EMC10 to break the service down into logical "chapters" that are primarily intended to provide appropriate sound tracks for the CD. This used to work great in EMC9, but now every once in a while, the end of a sound track gets chopped off consistantly -- at the same place if I attempt to re-import that same track over again. However, if I shut down EMC10, and re-load the Sound Editor from EMC9 it imports the complete track just fine. I quess I can continue to live this way, using EMC10 for video editing, and switching back to EMC9 for the audio portion, but does anybody know why??

 

Another minor irritant with EMC10 is that I manually have to change each editing marker into a chapter marker, where EMC9 did this automatically as an option in the Edit Chapters Menu. Am I doing something wrong here in EMC10?

 

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

You're not doing anything wrong; it's just how it works now in EMC10. I am not a big fan of that change (manually change EACH marker into a chapter marker). But I guess the thinking is that marker in Videowave is meant for splitting or deleting segment(s) of a video clip, and not necessarily to create chapter marker. Maybe the next version can add a button in MyDVD to select/unselect ALL markers and make them chapter markers so you don't have to manually change each one.

That is a great idea! Unfortunately, I doubt that it will happen. It makes too much sense.

Thanks for the moral support on the "minor irratant," but what I really wanted was help for my problems of sound files getting truncated when stripping audio from DVD's with EMC10's Sound Editor. Any thoughts on that issue???
