Extracting audio ONLY to burn to CD - How? Newbie help

[tarheelfan]

I'm new to this so any guidance would be useful.

I have a music DVD that I want to to simply extract the audio file and durn to a CD so I can play it in my car etc.

I have a DVD ROM but no burner. Is there a really simple way to do this that avoids purchasing software?

and durn to a CD

I think you mean "burn to CD". Hopefuly you have CD burner (or durner - sorry cannot resist)
Now I assume you have a DVD with music VIDEOS (if it is an audio DVD, I don't know - never ever seen such stuff). Rip it with DVD Decrypter enabling stream processing andf selecting to rip only the audio stream. Convert the audio to wav (I would recomend BeSweet) and load the wav in a Audio CD burning application..
Difficulties: If the file is more than 80 min long you should split it as CD 80 min can take only 80 min wav.

The trick is to rip in chapter mode - that splits the output (at least when you rip to VOB) at chapter points, and usually a music DVD has a chapter point at the beginning of each song.

Thanks for your help...Yes, I meant Burn to CD (I have a CD burner)... and yes it's a DVD with music and not a DVDAudio disc... yes, there are chapters at each song... I will give DVDdecrypter and Besweet a shot and see how it goes..

Watch this space

Thanks again

Mats..DVDDecrypter worked wonderfully as advertized..But, BeSweet (even the GUI) is causing me problems, mainly as it's not intuitive..

Could I impose and ask if there any other VOB to Wav conversion solutions that you could suggest?

Thanks

I use DVD2AVI at this stage. Just select 1 VOB, set your audio preferences, hit "Save Project" and you'll find a wav if that's what you selected under audio.
Keep this up for each VOB, and you'll soon have the whole DVD as audio.
When I'm lazy I use the ImTOO DVD Audio Ripper, but that's cheating I prefer freeware all the way!

if you have the vob file of each chapter you could use DVD2AVI to create a project that will give you the .wav of that chapter and also a .d2v file hich you would not use. Just load[F3] the .vob file then create the
project[F4].
