DVD to WAV - Already hopeless...

[depeche101_Brazil]

Hi all.
I have the DVD U2 - Rattle and Hum and would really like to extract the audio as .wav or something for editing and burning later.
The only doubt I have is to extract the audio as wav for Sound Forge to be able to manage the file. I find no way to do this anywhere in Internet.
Someone help me please. I accept links for guides if you have some...
PS: I tried DVD Decryper and could already extract the audio, but I don't know what to do with the .vob file.

The VOB files are multiplex MPEG2 files that contain: video (m2v), audio (ac3 or pcm) and subtitles. More than likely the audio is encoded as ac3 (some concert DVDs do actually use uncompressed PCM, ie wav, audio thou).

Here's how it works:

1. Run smartripper and choose the VTS of interest
2. Click on 'stream processing', click enable stream processing
3. Click on the audio stream of interest, then click 'de-mux'
4. Click run (choose output folder)

This will demux the audio (ac3) file from the VOB stream. You can then convert the ac3 file to wav for editing or burning to a audio CDR:

5.Use AC3Tool to convert to WAV.

BTW..you can do the same with DVDDecrypter.If you still have the VOB d/l VOBEDIT and open the VOB and select Demux(MPEG & AC3).

Thanks you all for helping me.
With your tips I could rip and then convert the ac3 file into wav.
It was a very simple process.
I only can't understand what "de-mux" means. What does if happen if I don't select this? What's the difference?
Thanks again.

Demux simply means you are separating the audio stream from the video stream and creating two distinct files. One audio, and one video.

Makes sense for me now.
Thanks.
