Post by: GRAYDOG on March 19, 2005, 11:35:48 am

Last week I bought Eric Claptons Cross Roads  Guitar Festival dvd , it has some great tracks on it . is there a way to rip just the audio tracks so i could take them with me?

You could try a tool like Imtoo DVD Audio Ripper

It's a bit tricky to find, though, you need to use Google  ;D

Another tool for that is Gordian Knot rippack. It is an open source project for converting DVD videos to PC files, but it can also demux & convert only the audio part. More information: www.doom9.org (http://www.doom9.org) or http://gordianknot.sourceforge.net/

One possibility is to use a stand-alone DVD player with a DD/DTS processor, configure it to two channel stereo output and record the analog audio with PC.

I have transferred several DVD-Audio disks to MC on my pc.  It was a little overly complicated and took 3 (free) programs but is doable.  I used "DVDDecryptor" to extract VOB files, "VOBRator" to extract AC3 (Dolby Digital) files from the VOB files, and "ac3decode" to downmix and create WAV files from the AC3 files.

It takes some investigation to find the VOB file that has all the audio tracks in it (it seemed to be different for each disk).  And on at least one disk I could only extract a single WAV file that I then had to manually split into separate tracks.  It really shouldn't be so difficult...

I'v used the following 2 tools in the past.  Worked well, just make sure you fill in all the track details before ripping so that they get tagded correctly.

With both of these you are ripping the DVD_Video soundtrack, not the DVD_Audio hi res track.

Check the new version of DVD Decrpyter, might be able to do the whole thing in one step.  The newer version supports 16/44, 16/88.2, 24/48, 24/96 from DVD - Video audio discs (like Muddy Waters, Folk Singer, etc.).

Go track at a time, Demux and it will spit out a WAV file per track with which you can then do as you please.
