I've been starting a project to rip the sound track of the old VHS tapes I have with DVS. DVS is an extra audio track where a voice describes what is happening on screen. The way I've been doing it is to connect the audio out on the VCR to the line-in on my computer (Linux). Then I use darkice to create a stream service. Then I use streamripper to rip the sound track to an mp3 file. It might seem like extra steps but I already have the darkice stream set up because I use it to listen to regular TV broadcasts. Then I also have a shell script to record a program so I can just type something like, "startRecording GameOfThrones 60" and it will rip whatever is coming in on the line-in for the next 60 minutes. Put it in a cron job and I can record any time. I am wondering if anybody else has any VHS DVS tapes they'd like to trade. I could rip them and send you the mp3 file. The 4 movies I have right now are these: 1. To Kill a Mockingbird 2. Saving Private Ryan 3. Star Trek: Wrath Of Khan 4. Star Trek: The Voyage Home -- John G. Heim, jheim@math.wisc.edu 608-263-4189
