I need to get some audio off a DVD. All my methods and tricks have failed, and I see lots of $40 progs to do this, but surely there's a free tool or technique? Any advice or a link would be much appreciated.

Please forgive me if I've missed this in the arrchives -- I had no luck searching.

Here, using a freeware product,

1. Download Smart Ripper

The rest is compliments of Minion,

" I use SmartRipper for Ripping Audio tracks from a DVD....

What you do is First go to "Settings" to "file Splitting" and set it to "Max File Size" and then set the Max File size to "9000mb" ...

Then go to "Stream Processing" and remove the Check marks from all of the Subtitle, Video and audio tracks accept for the Track you want to rip, then Highlite the audio track and select the "Save to Seperate File" Option...

Now when you rip the DVD it will rip as just the Audio track you wanted save as a seperate file.....
After you have extracted the Dolby AC3 audio File you can downmix it and convert it to a Wav audio file useing something like "PX3" which is a Simple AC3 to Wav decoder that you can download on this Page:

You should also make sure you have an AC3 codec installed on your PC which you should if you can watch retail DVD"s on your PC, But if not you can download a good one on this Page:

http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/ac3filter/ac3filter_0_70b.exe?...
"


Good luck!

Worked great. I'd forgotten about smart ripper -- I moved to DVD decryptor last year as I wasn't doing much stream processing.

I did end up using beSweet instead of px3 though. Now I just need to split the resulting files -- should be straightforward. Thanks for the help!

I just downloaded a VOB audio file and SmartRipper will not recognize the file. It looks like it will only work with a dvd.

How can I use SmartRipper with just a downloaded file?

Or do I have to use another app?

Thanks in advance
