Challenge for you guys_____how to take music from DVD {or from video camera} and put it on a CD?_______

[RTKangaMummy]

I have made a recording of some music using video camera with the lens cap on {on purpose} cos it was the music I wanted not pictures.

Now I want to put it on a CD

I have transferred it onto a dvd very successfully

Can it go onto a CD?

Can anyone answer the challenge?

I wonder if the deffo brill people on Mumsnet can answer that question or will it be the only unanswered question on Mumsnet?

And it's free

Kevlar, Audacity has worked a treat for
me, particularly for recording sound from
Internet sources.

There is one problem, though: the quality
of the final mp3 is always a bit shoddy.

Do you know how to counter that?

Not really. I'd noticed I was getting a bit of hush and crackle, but put it down to the cheap Dell pc I was playing it on at work, and turned up the volume to compensate.

There's probably a few rabid audiophiles around who'll know this stuff...

Apologies if grandmas and eggs come to mind, but normally the final quality of an mp3 depends on the bitrate you set for the file. 192 is usually adequate. I find less than that to be a bit flat sounding. Less than 128 generally sounds a bit odd. To change in in Audacity you go to preferences then mp3 export setup. I think it defaults to 128. You could try increasing it.

Thanks for the advice

I suspect another problem is the quality of
the original, in my case songs from radioblog.
