Needed: DVD Audio > MP3 or WAV recommendations?
Carol Haynes:
Anyone know of any freeware/donationware apps that do a decent job of grabbing DVD soundtrack data and ripping to CD/WAV or MP3 format? Failing that inexpensive shareware apps.
Ideally I'd like something that can extract tracks (I have software that can rip an entire soundtrack but the editing into music tracks is time consuming).
Cheers

I have used Xilisoft's DVD Ripper before, and that was very easy. It's $35, from here: http://www.xilisoft.com/ Whatcha ripping?
Carol Haynes:
I have a couple of music concert DVDs which I would like to listen to in the car.
I have seem IMToo DVD Audio Ripper ($29) which looks to me to be identical to Xilisoft's version (just a different skin on the same product as far as I can see).
Actually I have had a copy of Intervideo's DVD Copy, which I just discovered will do this ...
The only drawback with the IV product is you have to manually enter all the MP3 tag stuff after the rip - but it will rip audio , scale it and burn straigh to CD which is useful.
tinyvillager:
Try DVD2AVI,it gives you an option to decode the audio from dvd (vob files) to wav
I think you can get it here,
http://www.divx-digest.com/software/dvd2avi.html
Or check betanews.com
the original site http://arbor.ee.ntu.edu.tw/~jackei/dvd2avi/ is dead
but i know you can still get it and it does the trick,free too.There are other applications i just i can't pull any off
the top of my head at the moment,i wouldn't pay for something like this,it's a basic function in most dvd ripping
programs,search the divx forums,http://forums.divx.com/,pretty much any forums to do with video codecs will
go hand in hand with dvd ripping.
clif_notes:
And here's a review of yet another way to rip DVD's.
Caution using this program may be illegal in the United States.
