I'll try that, Lara.

I already bought the MP3 version from Pure from Amazon.

It is vastly inferior to the live concert version. It is terrible on my Sansa player--too tinny.

This weekend, I'll check out that conversion. My son said it was illegal? First I have to buy the DVD.

What's illegal? The MPEG Streamclip programme?

How is it illegal to copy from your own DVD player to your own CD? It'd be illegal if you sold multiple copies, but I don't see how that is illegal.

The person I was talking with and who suggested it has it on their Mac. Just a different version. Says it does exactly what you want. I think the Feds would be after people who do more serious things than copy one track from their own DVD to a CD for their own use. lol hey?

Edited later to add:
I sure hope I'm not suggesting something that is illegal.
That's the last thing I'd ever want to do. lol *ack

I can't see any reason why an Australian CD wouldn't play on your CD player mrsD. One of our NT member has sent me 2 CDs now from the USA, and I have no problem playing them here.

DVDs on the other hand are not interchangeable. Australian DVDs are formatted for the Australian market - PAL format and region 4. They would need to be reformatted in order for you to view on a DVD player. You can however, play our DVDs through most computers.

I have more info, but I'll send it via PM so as not to clog up this thread.



Actually I forgot to mention that I have a dear friend who lives in NZ, and if there was a particular version that you wanted, she may have better luck obtaining it for you in NZ, than I do here in Oz.

Also.....Did you notice on that second link that you can preview every track on the CD?

You know I sent that question to my son, and he could have misunderstood..etc. Or he doesn't know what is now available.
I guess pirates do this, convert one type to another and sell. <shrugs>

He is learning now that he is out of school, how fast our memories and learning start to atrophy (if you don't use it all the time). He used to be really swift on the computer, and last time he was here to help me with the Evernote upgrades (he uses them at work), he managed to mess me up!
In my area of expertise, one can get REALLY stale, and I know how to avoid that. But he needs to still learn it.

Right now he is programming a new product at his job and then testing it out. And doing the help desk too. He says no matter how long or thoroughly you test it out, SOMETHING will remain as a bug... Personally I don't think I could do what he does!
I am biological and real, and this programming is too etherial for my mind! LOL

hello,

Any video on you tube can be downloaded with this program here ****FREE***
http://youtubedownload.altervista.org/

it will download it and you can convert it to play on your ipod or sansa etc....

this will solve a lot of problems for you.

roger

This looks easier.

Thanks so much!

the CD coding are the same so CD's are universal...
(unless you get into FILE CD's then it can get a bit complicated but usually that won't matter)

DVD codings are different because it involves all these different MOVIE files...

just right off the top of my head, you've got .avi files, .vob files .dv files .MPEG files and in the MPEG files alone you have MPEG1 to MPEG10 to MPEG to the X

then, you have different Region Codes for DVD, US and Canada have region 1 and I think Australia DVD is region 2 and so on and so forth, so DVD's are not universal....

a person can make backup copies of whatever they own. If you own the DVD, Mrs. D, it is NOT illegal...it would be IF you sell it to me...LOL

I like that program Lara suggested and there are few other ones also. IF that one doesn't work for you, there are a couple of others...

the CD that Koala found.

I am researching that too.

You know how it goes, when you really really love something,
it moves you etc, and you have to have it!

I've found it mrsD!


This NZ store stocks quite a few of her CDs, and there's one called Hayley Westenra Live in Concert which has the song that you're after on it, and yes they ship overseas.
