My dad got "Live Aid" for christmas, it is a dvd set with lots of live rock performances on it. I really like the live version of sultans of swing by dire straits, and was wondering if there is any way to record that portion in mp3 format or something, so that I can put it on the DAP that I will hopefully be getting soon. Thanks for the help

what you can probably do is take it and rip it to your computer (in whole as you would a regular dvd movie), then extract the audio files in ac3 format, then reencode it from there. there are easier ways, but this preserves the quality the most. NOTE: you'll need to convert it from 48khz to 44.1khz sample rate or else the mp3's will be useless.

Not true. MP3 does support 48KHz so there is no need for any sample rate conversion. I reccomend you check out a program called BeSweet which will let you convert the file directly from AC3 (Dolby Digital) to MP3. Since it's a commercial DVD you'll probably need to decrypt it first. I reccomend DVD Decrypter. If you use DVD Decrypter I reccomend that after you select the PSG to go to the Stream Processing tab, enable Stream Processing, deselect everything but the audio stream you want to rip (which should be AC3, use the 2-channel mix if it has one), highlight the audio stream, and then select Demux at the bottom of the screen. This will make it rip only the audio so you don't have to process the video and subtitle parts of the file in addition to the audio.

i meant for mp3 players/programs that don't support 48khz. sorry; shouldn't have generalized so much like that.
