Topic: Seeing contents of Midi Karaoke DVD then moving to HD

This topic is old and might contain outdated or incorrect information.

I run a karaoke business. I needed to have foreign language karaoke. I bought a machine off of Amazon. It's nice, but i have to work it with a remote control and it only has a few video out options.

I current use Virtual DJ and i go out of my PC HDMI to a 4 way splitter and then out to the TVs. I really want to move all the music from the DVD over to the hard drive so i can do everything from one spot. It would streamline my job like crazy and be a lot better performance for the guests i have.

Here is the problem. I don't know what format the files are in. I can't see them. I have opened folder options and selected to see hidden files and also to show system files. Nothing shows up in the DVD when i put it in the computer. Just that there is a DVD there and a Desktop.ini file It does not play in any DVD player program.

This DVD contains 50000+ songs, i believe they are in MIDI format. I really only need the music and lyrics of course, the background videos would be a plus but are not needed.

Some companies, not just karaoke, run proprietary file systems, so that their content can only be played with their equipment, Could this be the issue?
 
I'm guessing that is exactly what is happening. Any way to get it off of their though. I mean there must be something that can see what is on the DVD and then once I know what it is. I can use it.
