Ripping audio from DVD

P

Found one that sort of works, most of the time -- www.convertmovie.com. Anyone got a better one? When I can do it (it's unpredictable), I can rip audio from a DVD as an .mp3 or an .avi file (which Adobe can rip the audio from).

So far, it's not horrible. But if anyone has a better way, would love to hear it.
 
Using the Macintosh platform I've used a program called Audio Hijack which can acquire audio from any app on the Mac or hijack the sound card's input. Works well with CD/DVD, streaming audio, live input, etc.

It's shareware and priced pretty reasonable, too.

Does it go PC? I'm not Mac...
 
You can "hijack" the audio off of the sound card's output using CEP, Audition, or heck, even Audacity on Windows.

Yeah .. in REAL TIME, which takes forever if I'm dumping a whole DVD. I want to do it in "rip time," which is much faster. I don't work in real time if I can avoid it.

I tried it on my laptop (real time to CEP) and got nothing - any pointers? I'm trying to get movie drops and don't need to rip the whole thing.
 
A lot of laptops don't offer the possibility to record from the audio out mix. You'll likely have to use a patch cord out and back in.

What I actually like to do is record the full DVD in real time into Audition, then clip the drops I want (keeping them in chronological order), separate them with about a half-second of silence then mix them all down into one file. It's a lengthy process, but the end result is really handy. I generally know exactly what movie the drop I want to use comes from, so I just open that movie's drop file, locate the drop I want, clip it and use it in the multitrack for whatever production I'm doing. That part is quick and easy... and much faster than having to search through a ton of files trying to find exactly which one has the audio I'm looking for.

No, it's not a PC proggie. On a Windows-based system you could use a program called Virtual Audio Cables (VAC) that will let you route audio around the sound card to simulate what Audio Hijack does on the Mac. Once installed you can virtually route the DVD audio to the sound card's input to record with another app. I don't have any hands-on with it so that's about the best I can tell you.
 
May give that a shot...

convertmovie.com does pretty well, and rips a whole two-hour movie in about ten minutes. But sometimes, the audio "chops" -- that ".mp3 with bad artifacts sound" we all know so well...

Make sure your "Wave Out" is selected in the Windows Recording mixer. If it is, then what Josh said is probably correct.

proddude41: I didn't figure you would want the whole movie, but Josh's suggestion for recording drops is a neat idea.
