DVD to CD? Can it be done?

[Huskerfan]

I have a concert DVD that I would like to extract the songs from and burn onto a CD to play in my car. Can this be done? and with what software?
Thanks!

use 'dvd decrypter' in IFO mode, it will demux the audio streams you pick. see here http://www.doom9.org/index.html?/dvddec.htm

if the audio is ac3, it can be converted with 'besweet' (with the belight interface) to wav. use any audio cutting program, such as 'nero wave editor' to cut if you wish, then burn with nero express.

in the future, please search the forums before posting http://forums.digital-digest.com/search.php

use dvd decrypter

1) First make sure that DVD Decrypter is in IFO Mode!

2) Click on the main Concert file under the input tab

At this point you can choose to rip all of it or just one scene (or song).

3) After sellecting the files you want to rip, click on the Stream Proccessing tab.

4) Enable Stream Proccessing

5) Check the Audio stream box only!

If there are multiple audio streams choose the one that only has two channels.

6) Now, highlight the checked auido stream and choose to Demux it

Now your ready to rip!

7) Rip the DVD (audio stream) to your hard drive by clicking on the DVD to hard-drive icon.

That should create either a LPCM or a AC3 file. which you can convert with besweet.

Wow! Thanks alot Columbo! I didn't really think it could be done. I'm going to the U2 concert next month and bought the concert DVD and I was hoping I could listen along while in the car.

[Huskerfan]

O.K. I'm scratching my head. I followed the instructions exactly, but I am getting .vob files outputted instead of LPCM files. I feel like an idiot. I've done it 3 times already and still get .vob files. Can anyone help?

Try to use EAC http://www.exactaudiocopy.de/, which I have used for my DTS audio CD's without fail, but I have to admit, have not tried on DVD's.

huskerfan, if your having trouble maybe you might want to try the last link there. from what i'm told it's a full trial and will convert right to mp3 for you.

try DVD Audio Ripper. It is a software DVD movie soundtrack ripper which can rip DVD audio to mp3 or wav. You can use it to extract DVD audio and rip DVD movie soundtrack to mp3 and convert DVD to wav with complete sound effects. Though it's not free, it offers REALLY excellent sound output quality. My girl loves it very much!

[Huskerfan]

So call me cheap, but is there anything out there that is freeware that will get the job done?

[blutach]

Read up - techreactor has provided you a link and LT Columbo reckons its a full trial. Give it a (free) trial.

Regards

I really appreciate the advice already given. However, Columbo's advice was actually shareware and Techreactor's advice was for CD's only. I was curious if anyone knew of any freeware that would handle audio extraction from a DVD.

[LT. Columbo]

the last link i gave you is just that, better read it again

Got everything figured out, finally. See number 6 above. What I was doing wrong was that I was checking the audio only box but leaving the highlighted area on the video. So even though the video was not checked it was still highlighted and demuxing video files instead of audio. I thought by just checking and unchecking boxes it would accomplish what I needed. Thanks for everyone's patience!!!

Thank you Ben for helping me find my way!
