burn audio from DVD to CD?

[burgerkingdiamond]

I have some concert DVDs that I want to burn the audio to cd's to listen to in my car. Does anybody have some tips?

If you have some sort of MP3 or other portable music player that will play digital files, you might have better results with that - mainly because most DVD audio is at 48KHz and you'd have to downsample to 44.1KHz to burn Redbook audio.

You using Windows or Mac OS?

dvd demuxing....explained.

Not what I used to use, but I couldn't find that stuff with a couple minutes of googling, and this seems fairly straight forward and it walks you through in semi-broken english.

Once you have the audio stream seperated, just use a converter like EAC to convert to whatever format you want and reburn.

doom9.org is a good resource for learning and software, but its changed a lot since I used to do this stuff a lot, and the software I used to use seems to have been mostly replaced with newer stuff, so I wouldn't know what to recommend.

Enjoy

I did this once in a roundabout way by playing the DVD on my PC and recording the output with Audacity. That was on my old Win XP box though - I don't know if it works well anymore because now I use HDMI out for sound rather than speakers, which isn't recognised as a source.

You'd need a stereo mix recording source, which isn't always available with modern sound drivers. This is aside from it being totally lossy and requiring you to actually play the content in realtime.

I'd probably just open up the VOBs (DVD Decrypter is still great at this if you have to break CSS or split by chapter) in DGMPGDec and have it save decoded audio. DGMPGDec can even do the 48->44.1KHz conversion and normalization if it really has to be done.

can you elaborate? I have DVD decryptor already, so if I can do it with just that program it would be nice.

You can download DGMPGDec here, on the bottom of the page. Took me like 3 seconds to Google that.

Use DVD Decrypter in IFO mode to extract VOBs in whatever form you want (say, if you want to split by chapter). Once that's done, open DGIndex (part of the DGMPGDec package), open the VOB files you want to extract audio from (if you're doing it by chapter, open them one at a time, not all at once), then set up the audio processing the way you want (Decode to WAV, 48KHz->44.1KHz if you really have to burn as a plain audio CD, Normalization, etc.), then select Save WAV and you should be set. Hardest part is you might have to select the audio track number - you can find the number by starting the preview (F5 if I remember correctly) and seeing what pops up in the details window.

This is all completely from memory, so you might have to experiment a bit if I'm a little off.

EDIT: Now that I'm home... it looks like the Save WAV option is gone from recent builds, but you can just Save Project instead then delete the other files it'll create alongside the WAV.
