Do know you what kind of a job that would be to rip all the episodes
soundtracks in WAV and then encode 'em all in MP3?

I certainly wouldn't pay server space and give them for free if ever
do it.

Some people, once they saw a movie, just listen to the audio track in
their portable while doing something else (visually). They prefer that
to plain music. It's kind of like an audio book for them. It's a freak
thing, but it happens.

Yeah, sometimes when I take a shower I leave Seinfeld on in the
background, and since I've seen virtually every episode I find it quite
easy to follow with just the audio.

Actually I thought this guy was confused between formats - often my
father will tell me that he downloaded a video in MP3 format (he means
MPEG), or that he downloaded a song in "Realtime" format (he means
Realaudio). He always gets confused between DV format and DVD format,
and once tried to tell me that Digital 8 was better quality than MiniDV.

Anecode over.

well thanks everyone for the advise. im gonna do it just not sure how to do
it. maybe someone knows how i can hook the audio output from tv to the
audio input to computer to record them on cd's.

I do want only audio because I can listen to audio at work but not video.
and lately ive been falling asleep at work. and getting in trouble. so i
think if i listen to something im interested in i will stay awake, (hoping
anyway) insurance gets so boring.

i got the idea because another guy at work has a show he likes in some audio
form on cds that he made. i dont know if its mp3 but i dont care just want
it to work.

thanks again.

thank you for the offer, i appriciate it, i dont think i could just pick one
ep i love. and wouldnt want u to go through the trouble. but if you know
how i can do it for myself from the tv or radio that would help.
im not looking to post them on a site or anything, just for personal listing
and visualation to keep my mind stimulated so i dont fall asleep at work.

Hi,

some TVs allow you to plug in a vcr, this means audio and video. Maybe you can find some adapter cables (for just the audio). It might be easier to record a taped show from the video. Mostly the video recorders have extra connectors (to hook them on to a stereo set or so). There is also software that can directly compress the audio to mp3s, relieving you of the hassle of creating huge WAVs and then converting them to mp3.

I have a pc, and yes my sound card has a line in.
I have been working with "The Maestro" he has been showing me how to record
and convert the episodes to mp3 files.
I have 6 now just working on taking out the commercials then converting
them, its a long road but im willing to endure the pain....

Why don't you... download the episodes in video format (you may already
have them) and take the audio out of there?

It'd be a lot quicker if you already had them! If not, then it's
probably best to ignore this "advice".

For one, I respect Jerry Seinfeld so much that it's a morale issue for
me to encourage distribution of pirated copies of his show.

Second of all, you'll have no control over sound quality. But if you
rip CD quality WAV from a copy of the show recorded with a HI-FI VCR
at speed SP, then you have an absolute control over the quality of the
MP3 you'll make out of it.

It's all about quality and principle.

then maestro if ur sooo against "pirated copies"
you should first look into the concept of what a pirated copy is....

there are numerous issues at hand here and i'm not going to bore the
seinfeld newsgroup with them at all..

you should be yelling at the vcd and dvd people then....since that is
MORE pirating than people recording the eps and posting them on
limewire or newsgroups....

vcd and dvd people are making money off it.....they don't deserve a
dime for it...

the limewire peeps record the eps the SAME way you are
suggesting....and they just share em online to other users who don't
have the means to record them, themselves....

I didn't point anyone in particular. That's why I used the vague word
'distribution'. People sharing don't do anything wrong. But I'm still
a little touchy about it cause it took me three years to get all my
eps on tape, five at a week. I didn't have the Internet, no PC, not
even a TV guide with a description of the eps. In my paper TV Guide,
it was just written: "Seinfeld, 5 o'clock". So I had to watch it every
day to check for eps I didn't have yet. By the end it was just pain to
see The Maid aired for the hundredth time, while I was looking for The
Mom and Pop Store.

I guess I'm just a little jealous of those who can get the whole
series in a week-end with a DSL connection. But that doesn't change
anything about my statement on quality.

well obviously christian...your gonna get better quality if you do
them urself...

but as you said it's tedious...mel wants to listen to eps so she
doesn't fall asleep at work...i'm sure if she could buy them legally
she would...but downloading seems to be the best option

as she could download a lot of eps easily and export the audio and
listen to them...

bear in mind that audio from tv isn't hiqual to begin with...so audio
compressed that is offered on the shared networks is actually pretty
close to the tv audio

How is watching computer videos of a tv show any different than watching
taped videos on VHS?
Both are illegal.

isn't that the TRUE question byron?

if it's fox...then they are broadcast for you to watch for free...and
you can therefore record them. however you can't distribute them.
put them on your computer and sharing them via the internet is a form
of distribution....however taping them on vhs and watching them at ur
own leasure....that isn't illegal....

otherwise your trying to tell me that the people that have cable and
record movies, that is illegal.....

what if i'm going to gone one night and want to tape a tv show so i
can watch it at my leasure???????

It's not bad to have them all on tape.

You could get many different levels of quality from TV audio. There
are many factors at play here. Cables (RCA or coaxial), source
(antenna, satellite, cable), mastering and compression of the output
from the TV station, quality of the reception when your record,
analog/digital reception, etc.

Not to mention the way one would edit the eps, the compression level
and codec he would use, etc.

I'm too perfectionist to bear anyone else doing these things for me.

Yesterday I thought of that after posting my previous message:

The problem with 'sharing' on the Internet is the scale. It's not like
your neighboor borrowing your tape. It's more like Elaine dropping
flyers of the Soup Nazi's recipes from a plane all over the city. :)

But I'm not a lawyer and that's it for me about this discussion. I did
tape all the episodes way back and I just want to rewatch in peace.

No I'm not 'maestro' from Seinology. I would have used the exact same
nick: The Maestro (I'm perfectionist :) My time schedule should not
even allow me to be here this winter, but I'm addicted to this group
:)
