Convert VOB audio to WAV?

[Big_Nige]

I've used the excellent RipIt4Me to copy a protected DVD to my HD, I ran the whole gamut of options that it gave (DVDDecrypter and FixVTS). I've since tried to convert the embedded audio files to WAV, but I'm having no luck.

Both AoA Audio Extractor and RiverPast Audio Converter give the same problem: a VOB that plays for 20 minutes in PowerDVD ends up as a 2-3 minute WAV file. The start is there, but it just ends prematurely.

My two questions are:

What is the best VOB to WAV software, and have I done something wrong?

Use BeSweet/BeLite. See the FAQ on audio.

dgindex; open the VOBs, set start & end points if needed, and save project. that'll demux audio streams-- it can also decompress to wav via audio-->output method

OK, I tried that.

I used Demux Audio only, and ended up with a WAV that I can't play

I know you all have your favourite tools (and some of them seem a bit clunky!) but isn't there something simple that will extract the audio without having to load a bunch of helper applications?

"Demux Audio Only" option is intended for demuxing the audio from streams that do not contain video. You should go to Audio > Output Method > choose Demux All Tracks or Decode AC3 Track to WAV and then go to File to save the project

All sorted now, many thanks.
