[nille]

I need some help, I'm a total newbie at this.
I've got a concert dvd and I would like to extraxt the audio only and then burn it as an audio cd.
Could anyone tell me how I go about it?

You can use DVD2AVI to extract a WAV file from the DVD. Then use a program like Musicmatch to convert it to MP3

I opened DVD2AVI and went to "process wav" and tried to open the audio folder of the dvd, but there was nothing there.
Maybe I should add that it is a concert dvd that I've bought.
How come I can't see anything in the audio folder and what do i do to extract the audio and burn it.

Please help me somebody, I'm a total newbie at this.
How do I extract the audio from a DVD(Neil Young Greendale)? I want to burn the audio later on a cd.
I've bought the dvd so i ont know if they've put in some kind of protection that makes it hard to extract the audio.

I'd be really grateful for an answer.

When you want to copy a DVD (video and audio) you have to use a program like Smart Ripper to rip the files to your hard drive. It removes the encryption. I don't know if this is needed to get just the audio but it seems likely.

hi,

First you should need a ripping tools like DVDDecryptor to extract & get the VOBs files.
Then using the BeSweet/BeSweetGUI to transcode to any format you like (WAV, MP3, OGG...)

That is!

If any of you found the better way, pls let me know.

Just a thougth for you, when I get the music off a concert I will do it chapter by chapter that way the songs are seperated and it saves having to split the wave into different songs later.

It might help to rip in chapter mode. Usually, music videos are one chapter each tune, so you'll get one VOB for each tune. Then take the audio from each VOB and convert to WAV and possibly MP3

I just did it with U2 Boston Live. But I found it easier to make one single wav file and then cut it with Goldwave.

[nille]

How do you make one single wav file ? I've been using Goldwave.

There are ten songs on this Greendale concert with Neil Young but only 7 vob files. I tried extracting the audio using Goldwave and it worked fine on about half of them and on the others a box appeared saying it wasn't able specify the format. What can I do?

Would extracting the audio as one wav file solve my problem, and if it would how do i extract it as one wav file?

DVDDecrypter+DVD2AVI. I rip everything, get one single wav file.
Goldwave allows then to save parts of a wav (later converted on mp3).

I forgot you could extract the audio stream with DVD Decryter as one WAV file. Man too many programs to keep of

[nille]

sorry, but I'm anewbie.

i've ripped the dvd using dvddecrypter, but how do Extract the audio, I only get vob files?

When you successfully have ripped the DVD and have a # of vobs, you open DVD2AVI.
Open a VOB with DVD2AVI (File -> Open). Dolby Digital Decode. If you want to make a Audio CD, you might as well do the 48 -> 44.1 kHz coversion here too - I use Ultra High.
Now, you just choose Save Project, and wait while DVD2AVI churns away. If you saved your project as xx.d2v, you'll get a small xx.d2v together with your audio file xx LPCM T01 44.1KHz.wav
If you ripped in Chapter mode, resulting in one VOB/tune, you repeat this for each VOB you have. You end up with one nice audio CD ready wav for each song. Burn wav's as audio CD or encode to mp3.
If you ripped the whole movie as one VOB, or selected all VOBs with DVD2AVI/OPen file, you'll get one huge wav for the entire "movie".

Thanks for your help Mats, you've helped me out a few times before.

Hi!

Another short question.
It worked the fine the way you described it, so Now I've got one big wav file.
On this audio Neil Young is talking between the songs so there are no real pauses. Can I split them up into different songs without interrupting his speech?

Nille

[mats.hogberg]

Well, that's a matter on how you burn it, and depends on what your burner is capable of (i think).
I'm no expert on this (maybe someone else here is?), but in Nero I think you can adjust the gap between audio tracks. Try to set it at 0 and see what happens.
