The music sounds good, though there's something niggling that's not quite right when compared with the original disc. It is minimal though, so not too bothered at the moment.<br /><br /> I've tried the second, more involved way, but stumbled at the first hurdle - that link to the DVD ripping tools doesn't work and I couldn't find PPCMRipper anywhere.<br /><br /> I'm now onto ripping the DVDs and blu-rays. I tried out ripping the first LOTR film using Aiseesoft's blu-ray ripper (which does both formats) and it's working well, it took around an hour a disc to complete though. The audio's spot on, but had to fiddle around getting the subwoofer set up, the yamaha's auto YPAO setup was a bit conservative with with the dB levels, to the point it was effectively off.<br /><br /> <div class="edit_text">EDITED: 17 Jun 2015 08:10 by GRAPHITONE</div> </div> <div class="message_footer"> <div class="message_footer_links"><a href="lpost.php?webtag=DEFAULT&reply_to=41511.7&return_msg=41511.7" class="reply"><span class="image post"></span>Reply</a></div> <div class="message_vote_form" data-msg="41511.7"> <span class="rating">0/0</span> <span class="image vote vote_down vote_down_off" title="Vote Down"></span> <span class="image vote vote_up vote_up_off" title="Vote Up"></span> </div> </div> </div><a name="a41511_8"></a><div class="message" id="message_41511_8"> <div class="message_header"> <div class="message_from"> From: ANT_THOMAS<span class="message_time">17 Jun 2015 08:22</span> <div class="clearer"></div> </div><div class="message_to">To: graphitone <span><span class="image post_read" title="Read: 17 Jun 2015 08:46"></span></span> <span class="message_count">8 of 18</span><div class="clearer"></div> </div> </div> <div class="message_links"> <a href="lmessages.php?webtag=DEFAULT&msg=41511.8">41511.8</a> In reply to <a href="lmessages.php?webtag=DEFAULT&msg=41511.7#a41511_7" target="_self">41511.7</a></div> <div class="message_body"> Is there something different with the hardware you're playing it back on?

I'm playing the original DVD-A through a player connected to the amp via an optical cable, whereas the rip is streamed from my PC via the HDMI on the Pi.
