Gang, I have quite a few DVD Music Videos that I had previously subscribed to with a company.

I'd like to know how I can extract the audio from my DVDs as I'm not so concerned with the video. Playing videos at many of my venues don't work for me.

In my search on the net I've found several software titles to claim to doing just what I'm looking for however, I'd rather go off of what some of you have to recommend as being tried and proven.

Please advise....thank you.

I'm sorry...yes, I most definitely intend on keeping my DVDs.

I'm running 2 Pioneer CDJ 800s....and I kick myself in the arse for not picking up the video decks instead!!

I've been slowly putting away a few dollars here and there until I can afford a couple of the Pioneer video decks.

i use a program called DVD Copy 5 to convert DVDs to DivX format, but it will also grab the audio stream and dump it out to wav. I've done it several times and it works great. The program is made by Intervideo which is a very respectable name in desktop software so the quality of the application is great.

Hi, DJ_Gonzo assuming you are running XP the following FREE software would get the job done
DVD Fab HD Decrypter
DVD Shrink
SUPER Video Converter

Output file would be .wav ready to burn to CD.

I'm new here and can't PM you - can you PM me?

Thanks brother for the info.

I think PM is offline for all of us.

Please feel free to email me at:

...or just connect a good ol' home DVD player via the digital connection and record the audio the old fashioned way!

Ahhh....old fashioned way.... Appreciate it brother but I'm try'n to make this easy on myself.

I've found a good program that's working out for me right now. I should have done this a few years ago. Got a lot of Promo Only music DVDs from various subscriptions of theirs. Just been collecting dust.... 'Bout time I put them to use.

I find it easier than ripping, de-muxing and then converting.

Take care because its illegal ripping audio from DVDs.

2nd - Rip audio in 320kbps MP3 directly from DVD-R drive using this: http://www.castudio.org/dvdaudioextractor/

Radio miradouro.pt - www.miradouro.pt | www.djalex.net

Thanks for the link Alex.

No problem

You can do this with mplayer reasonably easily. It will pull audio out of just about any video and do it at either realtime or above realtime (useful for batching)
