No Audio File When Using DVD2AVI

[Big Chipperwink]

I ripped a live concert DVD and tried to get the ac3 file using DVD2AVI because I want to put the audio on an audio CD. However, DVD2AVI only gave me the video and no audio. Do the makers of the DVD put some kind of block on this since it is a concert? Is there something better I can use or am I completely denied of the audio? Can someone please help?

I just did this exact project. I took My Moody Blues DVD concert at Albert hall and generated a CD that plays in my car CD player. Here is what I did. May not be the best way but it worked. I wanted each song as a separate track.

First follow this guide with the changes I note below If you want each song to be a different track. If you don't care if the whole sountrack is contiguous then follow this guide and you will have the *.wav file(s) you need. You can either generate one *.wav for the entire sound track and split it since most are too long for 1 CD. Alternative is to process each *.VOB separately and split it that way. Then just burn the *.wav file(s) to CD as an audio CD.

I did this to get each song on a different track:

I changed the setting in smartripper from "Rip by *.vob" to "Separate *.VOB for each track" (may have the terminology wrong but will be obvious when you look at the settings in smartripper.)

I then processed each *.VOB, one at a time, using DVD2AVI exactly as stated in the above guide. This gave me the *.wav file(s) i needed as the guide shows.

I used NERO audio CD burn mode and dragged and dropped the *.wav files in order of tracks.

CD works great and separate track for each song.

When you rip with Smart Ripper just rip each chapter seperately and rename the wav produced by DVD2AVI each time and you should end up with seperate wav files for each song. It's worked for me before.
