Interactive CD-ROM can someone help me?

there should be a way to burn the audio from endorphinmachine onto a music CD. does anyone know how to do this? the video for endorphinmachine plays after you complete pieces of a puzzle. so far i haven't been able to do it, but when i do...i want a perfect copy of the original COME version of the song.
anyone done this yet?

It's been awhile since I played the CD, but I thought it was the same version of Endorphinmachine as on the Gold Experience. If not though...

No wait, I just pulled out Interactive. Go into your CD-Rom drive under the directory:

Media\APPR\Finale.mov

That should get you started. I'm sure there are some easy ways to steal the audio from that, although I'm not sure what they are. You might be best off checking Kazaa or something like that to see if someone's already done this. This file has poor sound quality anyways. That's all I can reccomend.

It's been a while indeed... is that the puzzle where you have to turn a disc with some symbols on it?

Be sure your screen resolution is said to 640x480 otherwise it will never work... even if you have the correct 'code'

That's the one. That had me stuck for ages. Great piece of software though given the limits of the computer power available when it was created. Shame he doesn't have the commercial cachet or artistic inclination to do something similar using today's technology. Or perhaps that's what the website's all about.

The version of 'Endorphinmachine' on the Interactive CDROM
is a live performance (with no audience) that was done at
the same time that he recorded a version of 'The Most
Beautiful Girl In The World' for the UK TV show 'Top Of
The Pops' (you can see the 'TOTP' logo in the background).
It's not the same as the version from the original test
pressing of 'Come'.

You can browse the contents of the CD, and go directly to the video file for EndorphineMachine. I believe if you open it up in a recent copy of Quicktime, you will then be able to export it as an MP3 or WAV, then simply burn it to CD.

If that doesn't work, open the video track up in a program like Adobe Premiere, and seperate the audio track from the video, exporting the audio only, then burn it to CD.
