Didn't see a forum specific for this so I figured I'd try here.

I recently purchased a couple CD's that came with extra DVD's and would like to rip the Audio files off of the DVD's onto my HD and convert them into an mp3 format and eventually throw them on my iPod.

Only problem is I haven't the slightest clue where to start when ripping DVD audio and converting it into an mp3 format (I assume I'll need to do this). I know I could go in using Line In on my soundcard but I'd have to buy some cables and I'd rather do it this way to save a couple bucks.

Any help?
