Ripping audio from DVD to CD?

[AllenW]

Trying to rip the audio out of a DVD and burn to a CD, not having much luck.

Any suggestions, trying to do this with freeware if possible as I only have 5 or 6 I want to do so far.

Also I'm running DVDFab 6 right now, time to upgrade but I'm wondering if any of the updated DVDFab programs do this?

I'd like to keep the audio in WAV form if possible.

Hi AllenW
You can try it with a newer version of Fab or you can find older versions of Fab here if you need it http://www.oldapps.com/dvdfab.php

1. Install 7.0.3.0 (international version, css)
2. Reboot
3. Start DVDFab
4. Insert your DVD Audio disc, set the "Source" (box on top) if needed.
5. On the left under "DVDtoDVD" click on Clone
6. Uncheck "Copy DVD-Video Data Only"
7. Uncheck "Copy Original IFO Files"
8. Set the "Target" (on top) to desired location
9. Click "Start"
10 Burn the resulting .ISO file with ImgBurn to get a DVD Audio disc.

Note that ripping DVD Audio disc will remove the CPPM protection (kind of DVD Audio's equivalent to DVD's CSS), but it will not remove any watermarking protection. Some DVD Audio players will observe watermark protection and stop the playback on discs made from rips after ~ 30 seconds, while other players ignore any watermarks. I believe if you Google around a bit you can find a list of players that ignore it.

Also keep in mind if your disc is getting cracks that there may be data problem with the resulting rip. For testing you can always try extracting to individual hi-res tracks on your hard drive (i.e., multichannel flac) using free tool called DVD Audio Explorer and then play back the file in something like Media Player classic or VLC player.

For anyone reading this and are not sure what a DVD Audio disc is, here's a pretty good link:

I think OP asking for something different:

I think OP asking to strip soundtrek off the concert DVD or movie.
In this case, he(she) has to select "audio only", rip it to HDD and burn onto CD as step 2 using burning software.

Exactly, I missed the "to the hard drive" part and tried to go right to a CD, it didn't work for me that way, thanks much all.

Thanks for pointing that out my friend.

Thanks all.

Getting close I think, I managed to figure out the DVDFab and the audio thing and getting it to a WAV file, but when I tried to burn to a CD disc using Roxio Creator Classic it comes out almost 5 CD's long.

?????

No doubt I'm doing something wrong...but what??

@AllenW
Based on your description, you've managed to extract audio in lossless (most likely LPCM) format. Lossless usually mean very, very large file.
What you need to do is to compress to CD-sized file. There are plenty free programs to do that, most of them have CD-size presets. You can google for it. My favorite is XviD4PSP 5.0 because it can do far more than audio compression and have all codecs internally.
Most of the freeware converters requires third party, outside codec packs, and they are root of all evil, IMHO.

Ok, thanks, I'm assuming once I have it from DVDFab onto the Hard drive I then convert and then burn to a CD.

I'm wondering if my trucks CD player will see the new format though??

I'll give it a try and see what happens..thanks.

I don't know what format your truck's CD Player likes, but any player these days can play AudioCD format or mp3... choose either of them
