- II. InterVideo Data Injection
-
- How to view injected data with WinRip.
- -------------------------------------
-
- You can get injected songs from sites such as MP3.com.
- Simply download the injected song to your computer and
- then use the Impoirt Wizard on WinRip's Music Gallery
- page (in Jukebox Mode) to add the song to your local
- database. Double click on the file and if it has ID
- data then WinRip should automatically switch to the
- IDI Viewer snapin and show you exciting content such
- as lyrics and web pages. (A live Internet connection
- is needed to see most web pages.)
-
- How to Inject Songs with WinRip.
- --------------------------------
-
- 1) Pick a song on a CD that you would like to inject into
- 2) Go to your favorite Lyrics site on the web and search
- for the Artist and Song
- 3) Once you have found the Lyrics, highlight them with your
- mouse, copy them (CTRL-C), Open the Windows Notepad or
- another text editro and paste the lyrics to a new file.
- 4) Examine the data and replace any unspoken text with the
- spoken text (i.e. replace "repeat Chorus" with the
- actual chorus).
- 5) Eliminate extra line feeds.
- 6) Break long sentences into phrases, much as they are sung.
- 7) Save the file
- 8) Open or switch to WinRip
- 9) Insert the CD which has the song to be ripped. CDDB
- should also identify the CD's content if you are online.
- 10) Right click on the song you want injected and select
- IDI Editing from the right-click menu.
- 13) In the IDI Editor Select "Import", and then locate the
- file that you saved in step 7.
- 14) The imported text will appear line-by-line just as
- you saved it. Now you need to assing display times
- for each line.
- 15) Highlight the first line of text. Click on Play.
- 16) When you hear the 1st word sung, click on "Set Time".
- That time will be set for that line and then the next
- line will then be highlighted.
- 17) Continue this for each line of text.
- 20) When the song is complete, select "Pause"
- 21) Select "Save As", and save your timed lyrics. Now it
- is time to create your injected MP3 file.
- 22) After saving the timed file, select "Record"
- 23) The program return to the CD Audio page and begin to
- rip the song to your hard drive, injecting the lyrics
- at the same time.
- 24) Once ripped, the injected song will be listed in the
- Music Gallery by Artist, Album and Track Name.
- 25) Click on the injected file to play it. WinRip will
- switch to the IDI Viewer and the lyrics will appear
- below the viewer, synchronized to the music.
- 25) If the lyrics are not perfectly synchronized, you
- can examine the timed text file for problems. For
- example, sometimes two lines have the same time.
- You can edit the text or times and then re-record
- the file if you like.
- 26) Injection can also be done from MP3 or WAV files
- to MP3 files, from the Music Gallery. When injecting
- from an existing MP3 file, the file is decoded and
- the re-encoded, which might cause some audio degradation.
- One way to minimize this is to start with a higher
- bitrate.
- 27) When injecting files in the Music Gallery, the new
- files will be written to the same location and with
- the same filename appended with an incrmental number.
- (For example, mysong.mp3 becomes mysong1.mp3).
