23 – 600 Importing audio CD/DVD tracks
4. Use the Destination folder menu below to select a destination folder for
the file(s) to be imported. You can either type in the folder name and path
directly or click the folder button to browse for a folder.
The files will be saved with the name that appears in the visual menu. Note that you can re-
name a file later – after clicking “Save” (see below).
5. Next, click the Analyse button.
The DVD-A (on DVD or hard disk) is now analysed and the dialog is updated to display the
contents of the DVD-A.
The dialog is dominated by a display showing the DVD-A disc’s visual
menu (see “Generating DVD menus” on page 558 for information about
visual menus). The album title, the group names and the track names are
displayed. You can navigate the menu and select groups and tracks by
clicking on them.
• Click on a group name to select it and show the tracks the group contains.
• Click on a track name to select it. You can select multiple tracks by pressing
[Shift] or [Ctrl] when you click.
• To go back in the menu structure when displaying the tracks in a group, click the
navigator button at the bottom of the visual menu.
The Navigator button.
• If the DVD-A does not contain a visual menu, the display will not show any-
thing. It is still possible to import audio tracks from a DVD-A that doesn’t
contain a visual menu though, by selecting the option “Retrieve all groups”
in the dialog (see step 8 below).
6. If you want to import to a format other than Wave, click on the file format
button at the bottom left of the dialog and select the desired format from
the Audio File Format dialog that appears.
See “Supported file formats” on page 113 for information about the available file formats.
7. If you wish, you can select a track and click Play.
This will play the beginning of the track so that you can check it out.
• If you notice that playback starts too late into the track – i.e. a small part of
the beginning of the track is “cut out”, this could be because the pause be-
tween the track and the previous one (i.e. the area between a track end
marker and a track start marker) actually contains audio.
In this case, you can activate the option “Get audio in pause”. All pauses between tracks on
the DVD-A will then be checked to find if they contain audio, and any audio in pauses will be
retrieved. See “Audio in pauses” on page 534 for more information about audio in pauses.
