Title: Burning CD-G files
Post by: julzqld on August 19, 2006, 03:27:12 PM

I recently bought off ebay a disc which hold 600 karaoke songs.  Unfortunately it was in dvd format and my karaoke machine only plays in cd-g format but the seller assured me the disc could be copied to cd.  So I went ahead and purchased the disc only to find that I need a CD-G burner to burn the discs onto cd.  So I purchased from the recommended dealer the cd-g programme but do you think I can copy these stupid things right.  The items burn on the disc but won't play on the karaoke machine.  I made the mistake of burning onto cd-rw discs and then found out I need cd-r discs but still not working.  Sometimes it will play of the demo model of the cd-g player I have on the computer.  Anyone can help me?

I don't know if these have the answer you're looking for Julz but here is a link that might help:

I not exactly sure and I've never done this for cd-g files but it sounds like you need to rip from the DVD the audio (extension .mp3, .wav) and graphics (.cdg) files relating to each song and then burn them onto a cd-r disc. Both files seem to have the same name but different extension - eg: iwillsurvive.mp3 and iwillsurvive.cdg.

I've ripped and converted DVDs to mpeg (videos) using DVD shrink and then YASA VOB to mpeg converter. VOB is a DVD file (extension .vob). I'd presume there's a converter to do the above to extract the .mp3 and .cdg files.
