Hi,

I was wondering what the most efficient way is to convert a pmi or DDPi source to individual wav files (one interleaved wav per CD track).

Thanks!

If I am understanding you correctly, if it is a pmi that you originally created the simplist solution is to go back to the original file and render each track out as a wave. The only other alternative is too read back the DDP image and then render out from that.

Just rename your .pmi file .wav and you have converted your image

Hi Cedric,

That's not what he's asking for. The original poster needs to create individual files, where each file's boundaries are the PQ start/stop markers from the CD image.

There is no way to do this within Pyramix or DiscWrite. Currently, you'd have to create a DDP v2 with individual .DAT files and then rename them in WaveLab, so that a proper RIFF-WAV header is created.

The ability to create files from a CD Image would be much easier if we could actually import the image back into Pyramix. Also, I believe a feature request for being able to create WAV files from a CD image is already in the enhancement database.

Ideally, it would be an addition to the mix-down paradigm - "Create individual files based on PQ markers" and it would use CD-Text to name the files. But, I wouldn't mind one bit if it was done in DiscWrite, as this will become an even more important delivery format in the near-future.

Hi Graemme,

Do we take this to mean that DiscWrite will be made available as a seperately distributable free programme so that we can FTP pmi files to clients together with a DiscWrite run time for them to burn their own CDRs?

Hello Gentlemen!
If I understand this right, it's what I have to do every day, when I create a .PMI in my system witch is 4.3 still, I will take the .PMI file put it in the same timeline (in Pyramix) that created it, I press the roller in the center of the mouse to select the clip between start markers, then render that selected clip into a wave file, this works great and it's so easy.
