Can you transfer a music dvd to CD

[kuneo]

Don't need the video portion of a music DVD,but would like to transfer audio only to a CD.

Without the video portion of the DVD-the file should be much smaller shoudn't it?-thereby only needing space for a CD.

So far my attempt's have failed.

Not if the audiostream is in LPCM format (which could be several Gbs in size!)

"So far my attempt's have failed"

What method(s) have you tried?

Too long and boring to try to explain,but thanks for the input.

I'll keep fartin around with it-to see if I can fake it somehow.

Thanks

So be it...

The easiest way to just 'fake it' would be to just play it and record the audio using Total Recorder.

I've converted over several of my concert DVD's to CD and they sound great using these steps:

The only software I substituted for edititing the huge WAV file which is created was Audacity which kept on crashing. I used Feurio instead which is highly stable.

PS Don't mean to step on your toes setarip, but I think the newest version of DVD2AVI can convert both AC3 and LPCM to WAV files.
