RIP/Extract Audio from a DVD?

JohnB47

Anyone have any good ideas for a, hopefully freeware, program that will allow me to extract the audio from a Video DVD? Also to allow me to choose the extracted format (MP3 and Flac being the main ones I'm interested in).

I have Handbrake but that doesn't seem to do this and I've actually tried using VLC but stopped it running after two hours trying to extract audio to flac.

Thanks.

Looks like you can use DVDFab to rip to various audio types, inc Flac, but it's only a trial (30 days I think), depends if your project is a one off?

Use one of these tools? http://www.guidingtech.com/5729/13-free-software-rip-audio-from-video/

You might need something to get rid of the pesky DVD copy protection first

Thanks guys. I'll have a look. Might be something I'll want to do in future, so maybe not a one off. All from my own dvds I mean. Protection doesn't seem to be a problem - I can rip the dvds to mp4 ok. Just want to copy off the audio to listen to.
