[babypotato]

I have dvd audios containing some songs.I want an easy to use software to save those songs preferably in mp3 format.
The DVD folder looks like the following image.The audio_ts folder is empty.

I know one software capable of doing wht im looking for,its from imtoo,but thts a paid software.If thr r some free alternative then some one pls suggest.

Use PGCDemux to get the audio tracks out of the DVD files. Most likely they will be AC3 (Dolby digital) but they may be PCM instead.

Install the latest BETA version of Audacity, as well as the Audacity specific versions of the LAME and ffmpeg libraries (download from the Audacity page)

Load the AC3 files into Audacity, and save them as MP3.

All free.

Or use DGMPGDec and extract the audio directly to a wav file

Using PCGDemux was very easy and fast.And it gave one long ac3 audio file .Now i want to extract some hundred or more songs from it.Shall i need to cut for each song?or thrs any other way?

If you set up PGCDemux to demux by Cell rather than by PGC, you'll get individual songs.

Ok .thanks a lot manono.

This was the log file whilei used demux using single cell.The result was only one ac3 file sized 16 mb.Am i doing anything wrong here?
For information this dvd has 132 songs(audio tracks)in all.

It looks to me like you chose the wrong IFO. Try a different one (or the other one if there are only two). You've got a total of 130 different cells in that DVD somewhere.

However, it's not going to give you 130 AC3 tracks all at one time. You'll have to do them all separately. Getting all the audio from all the cells at once is going to be tricky, I think. Using DVD Decrypter and with the DVD in the DVD-ROM, you can set DVD Decrypter in IFO Mode to decrypt by Cell ID. At the same time you'd also go into Stream Processing to have it demux only the audio.

With the DVD on the hard drive, using VobBlanker you can set it up to extract each cell to its own file, but you'll still have to get the audio out of each of the little VOB files it creates for you. That part is easy enough in principle, but will take time for 130 cells.

Ive tried with both ifo files but without success.So, it seems no freeware can do what i want in a rather simple way.Anyways,thanks for all your replies.

You can load the wav (or ac3) in Audacity and quickly pop markers inbetween the songs, and "Export to Multiple". I think it will even automatically put markers in gaps between songs (but I could be wrong here)?

Did you check the drop-down box? With more than one title in the IFO, there's a good chance you'll find the video you want further down.
