When anydvd rips DVD-Audio nothing hi-res is copied over.
This is why dvdaudioextractor is used to get the hi-res audio.

I just noticed that dvdfab rips the entire dvd-audio.
It creates an audio_ts folder that i assume holds the hi-res audio.

As for as i can tell its all useless because the dvdfab rips don't play any differently than the anydvd rips.
ie. no hi-res audio.
i tried with a couple dvd-audio discs on a couple different players.

Am I missing something here?
Is anyone doing anything useful with full dvd-audio rips?

I will try a couple more discs when i have some time.

DVD-Audio Explorer extracts  DVD-Audio files. It uses a reverse engineered algorithm to break the security code. I think it was the first to break the code. It is freeware available from several places including

 DVD-A Explorer Download  (http://www.sendspace.com/file/4muyhm)

It takes some patience to learn to use and it does not do anything about tags, but it works to extract the files. There is discussion on doom9, including this thread.

 Instructions  (http://forum.doom9.org/showthread.php?p=1254323#post1254323)

There is a thread somewhere on doom9 that goes back to the beginning of the development, although I don't have a link to it.

It has been a while since I used it, but I got it to rip my DVD-A at one point.

I used DVD-Audio Explorer until I used a trial of DVD Audio Extractor. DVDAE is so much easier to use, that I just purchased it. I was sucessful iwht DVD-Audio Explorer but you are right in that it does require patience.

I only had a few DVD-A so was fine with the free Explorer program. If I had to do many I would probably spring for the DVD Audio Extractor software.  Explorer was developed for the geek crowd and never developed for general purpose use. I should have pointed that out.
