getting audio from DVDs?

[Final Sacrifice]

I have some concert DVDs I want to get the audio from, so I can get it on my ipod and computer. Any way to do this?

I'm getting some good info from a google search, but if anyone has personally used one of these programs, or knows a freeware one, I would appreciate the info.

i just plugged the line out into the line in, and I'm cooking with gas. Sorry if you had to watch me pathetic timeline of figuring out how to do this.

Dude, that's a legit question. You're getting the analog signal the way you're doing it. So you're going D->A->D.

I wonder if you can transcode the digital audio on the DVD into an MP3 or AAC or whatever.

I need a new soundcard for a variety of reason, but that method is making annoying clicks. No the volume is not too high, I tried a bunch of stuff. There are a lot of programs at burnworld.com I just tried "BurnOn CD/DVD" but it had everything but extract the audio from a DVD. Anyone finds a nice, hopefully free, program I'll be very glad.

It is most definitely possible.
Thats how movies traverse the internet, video/audio ripped from dvd, compressed and merged back together as a new smaller package.

Here's the software/freeware
ahh direct links won't work

For Ripping the DVD
http://www.doom9.org/index.html?/software.htm
you want DVD Decrypter 3.5.2.0

For extracting audio
http://www.divx-digest.com/software/dvd2avi.html
you want the DVD2AVI 1.77.4 link


The guide to do all this here
It's been a long while for me, so I hope the audio that is extracted is in wav format. (~10mb/min)

You are interested in just the 2 first steps, extract dvd with decrypter and extract audio with dvd2avi
the rest of the steps are to compress the video and audio (divx/xvid/mp3), then remix together.

All those methods posted so far really suck. [img]/images/graemlins/eviltongue.gif[/img]

Get a program like A1 DVD Audio Ripper and you're good to go. Amazing free program that will automatically convert the DVD audio from whatever format to whatever format. So you can rip Dolby Digital 5.1 or even DTS ES-6 tracks down to 2 track MP3 at the click of the mouse. And its fast... Great stuff. [img]/images/graemlins/toast.gif[/img]

Thanks so much. I just downloaded it. It looks like exactly what I've been looking for. First on the chopping block, "Dio: Evil or Devine"
