  1. I don't use a Mac so can't _recommend_ a program but these are the ones linked to on the official flac website: http://flac.sourceforge.net/download.html
  2. eac3to (and its guis) definitely simplify the process as you can select the playlist files on the disc that then tell the gui which m2ts files go together to play the disc (for some discs this is a single m2ts file, for some its lots, like Neil Young must be). ClownBD lets you choose which playlist you want to rip (if there is only one, it just chooses it automatically which I suspect is the case with the Neil Young discs Urs has tried).<br /> <br /> Having had a quick play around with ClownBD, one appears to have a useful feature that will spilt the audio stream for you using the chapter information (so no need to do this manually in a wav editor). It does seem to do it by creating the wav first though so not sure if that gets around the >4Gb wav file issue. Have not tried this feature myself.<br /> <br /> Incidentally, I'd be very surprised Urs if the 4.4Gb file you created plays correctly in its entirety - I've created >4Gb files before that seemed to work but found that only part of the file worked. It is the header of the wav file that is the problem, it can only store the header info for up to 4Gb so I am guessing that any info that is in the file >4Gb has no header info for it (which am guessing could cause problems). Anyway, seems there ways to avoid the 4Gb issue anyway (e.g. extract to FLAC or RAW PCM ).<br /> <br /> As for not needing AnyDVD for Neil Young - if this is the case then that Blu-ray disc does not have any copy protection on it, which is definitely not the norm for BDs. John Mayer's "Where the Light Is" and Foo Fighters 'Live at Webley Stadium" definitely both will not rip without AnyDVD to get around the copy protection...
  3. Have just been fiddling about with eac3to and goldwave.<br /> <br /> Both flac and RAW PCM can be output by eac3to and neither have limitations with filesize (not from eac3to anyway).<br /> <br /> Have tried a RAW PCM file and a FLAC file, both from eac3to, in Goldwave and it can handle them fine. Still need to test with a files equivalent to a >4Gb wav they shouldn't work. Just need to spend half a day extracting some 192kHz audio to try.<br /> <br /> Well, I seem to have answered my own question lol...
  4. Actually, W64 (Wave64) was what I meant to type in my post - not RF64. No I haven't tried it as I hadn't found an editor to handle W64 to do the splitting (other than Sony Soundforge which is a little out of my price range for this sort of mucking around). I found a converter to get it from W64 to flac but as I had no W64 material to play around with yet I haven't tried the converter either. Can try and dig up a link to the converter if you need it.
  5. Hi Chris. I came across this thread whilst looking for info on the Dave Matthews blu-ray - nice post. I had also posted a how-to thread on this same topic over on the Linn forums (http://forums.linn.co.uk/bb/showthread.php?tid=2544). One issue you may come across (or may have already come across) is the limit that the wav format has of 4Gb file size. You wouldn't have run into it with the 48KHz Dave Matthews disc but you probably will with 96KHz titles (I did with John Mayer) and you almost certainly will with 192KHz titles such as Neil Youngs discs. I 'avoided' the problem with John Mayer as the main track was in two separate m2ts stream files so I did them separately. It will depend on how the main title is handled on the disc.<br /> <br /> If you've found a way around this, I'd like to hear it. One way would be to avoid using wav and use something like RF64 format, then convert that to something that your player can handle once you've split it. I haven't tried this yet as I haven't had time to look for a decent, free RF64 editor for splitting the files. I used goldwave to split my wav files for the John Mayer disc but this doesn't do RF64 format...
