Hi,
Weird question I know, but bear with me.
I have normal shop bought DVD's ripped onto my computer (I won't say what software I used, in case I'm not allowed to) and they're now in Video_TS folders on my hard disk (unencrypted, region free)
From there, can I change the format, so that I just have the audio track in mp3 format, ready to be placed on an iPod, MP3 player etc.? I'm not interested about the DVD menu's obviously, just the main section of the DVD's.
A step-by-step guide would be much appreciated, if it's possible to do this at all.
If you need more information, let me know.
Thanks

There are a few methods/tools to rip audio from DVD's..For example, if the disc is already ripped on HDD, you can import in Avidemux or Super etc. and convert to mp3 or other formats..This guide has worked for me in the past..For the audio conversion I'll use Audacity as stated above..Import the AC3 or VOB(s), and convert..

Hi,
I have Audacity and Avidemux installed on my computer, what exactly do I do now?
I have the DVD's ripped into Video_TS files on my hard disk.
Probably really easy, but I do stuggle when working with new programs, so please explain as if talking to an idiot step by step.
Thanks

Another method is to index the VOB set in DGindex, set audio "demux all tracks",
and then choose file/demux audio only stream.
This will give you the ac-3 audio. Convert it to WAV using Belight/Besweet,
and edit and normalize in a wav editor such as Audacity. Then covert to MP3.

Hi,
Sorry for being such an imbecile with new programs.
Here's my situation:
I have the DVD's as several VOB files on my hard disk.
I also have avidemux and audacity installed on my computer.
I will also need to splice the individual files together to make it back into a complete audio track. (Each DVD is in several parts, obviously)
Do I need any other programs or are these two just fine to do all these things?
If these are fine, could you give me a complete step-by-step guide (as if talking to an idiot) on exactly what to do i.e. what buttons to press, at all times, from the start, in avidemux and then audacity, to convert from VOB to MP3.
Sorry to be so difficult, I hate new programs!
Thanks

Since you have Avidemux already, lets stick with it.
Open the first VOB. The program may ask you to index and/or append the other
VOB's, reply yes.
On the left, change "audio" to mp3 lame. Under "configure" set channel mode sterso
and bitrate 160 or better.
Under "filters" set "mixer" to stereo, select dynamic range compression and set
gain to Auto (-3db).
OK out and select "audio" at the top. Save it as audio.mp3 (include the mp3 suffix, 'cause
Avidemux doesn't add it for you!)

Good advice, thanks, except when I click save, Avidemux just freezes totally and refuses to do anything! So annoying!
Any easier programs that might work?
Sorry to be a nagger!

It's not necessarily frozen. It may be examining the files,
extracting the audio, checking it for levels and re-encoding before
it will save your mp3.
It may take 30 - 60 minutes before you see anything, depending on the
speed of your CPU.

It does actually say not responding, so I think it probably is frozen.
I'm at a loss myself

Open the task manager and look to see if the process is using any CPU.
If it is, I would just be patient and wait a while.

Thanks, seems to be working now.
File size is still quite big, 122MB for about 2hrs of audio. Since I'm not a serious audiophile, I've dropped the bitrate to 128, so hopefully that might reduce size a bit.
Thanks for all your help!

One more question;
After I have the resulting mp3 files, can I splice them back together again to make one long, continuous file? Can I do this with media player or something, or do I need another program.
Again, full explanations please if possible.
Thanks
