How to rip DVD soundtrack into FLAC or MP3?

Can I rip some DVD I have (James Taylor, Diana Krall, roy Orbison Black & White Night etc.) into FLAC or MP3?

I'm thinking of buying either a cd or DVD of Talking Heads' Stop Making Sense, and if I knew how to rip the DVD I'd just buy that... easy decision.

You need a special program to rip only the music from a DVD. I use DVD Audio Extractor. It works exactly as represented. Here is a link to the developer's website: DVD Audio Extractor -- Full featured DVD audio ripper for your easy use

thank you. I think I'll order the DVD version of Stop Making Sense, and then rip it to FLAC for portability.

Thanks.

That looks like a great program. Do you have any experience with using it to find the hi-resolution (96 or 192 Mhz) two-channel tracks? Sometimes those are "hidden" (if they exist at all on a particular concert DVD), and it would seem that those would be the only high-bitrate files worth converting to FLAC, as normally the audio files on a DVD would only be at 44.1 or 48 Mhz.

Edit: copied to a new thread after mistakenly reviving this one...

VLC works pretty well at extracting audio then converting to your choice of format. The tricky part is finding the right title to rip off the DVD.

 

Free and opensource
