How To Rip Audio From a DVD

You will need the following tools:

DVD Dycrypter - (FREEWARE) - Click HERE
AC3 Filter - (FREEWARE) - Click HERE
Goldwave - (SHAREWARE) - Click HERE

Step 1:

First of all we are going to use DVD Decrypter. Open it and select Tools -> Settings

Step 2:

Click the IFO Mode tab and there enable stream processing (1) and disable file splitting (2). Click OK and return to the main window

Step 3:

Here first of all select the IFO mode (1). Then select the main move PGC (here only 1) (2) and click the stream processing tab.

Step 4:

Here make sure that stream processing is enabled (1). Then select only the audio track you want to rip (2) and with that selected select Demux (3). Start the ripping and you are going to have an .AC3 file that we are now going to load in Goldwave.

Step 5:

Make sure you have AC3Filter installed unless Goldwave will not load the file. Now go File -> Open. Select All in file type (1) and then load the AC3 file (2) and click Open.

Step 6:

The first thing you should do is to save it in a wav format. Go File -> Save As and save it as a Wave file. Note that this is not necessary, but I hardly suggest it as Goldwave will edit a wave file much faster.

Step 7: Next thing will be the creation of some Cue Points so that we can split the file in tracks (of if you don't want you don't need to do it!)
From the Goldwave menu go Tool -> Cue Points

Step 8: Now here if your DVD has pause between the tracks you can use Auto Cue (2) and it will find them. If not you have to find the point you want and click New (1).
After you have created all the cue points click Split file (3).

Step9: Here set the file name you want to use (1) select checkbox (2) and finally OK (3) to create the files. After you have done that you can burn with the burning program of your choice, I use Nero.

Step 10: Of course you have to eliminate the gap between the tracks in order to make a great CD. Just select them, right-click and select Properties, and there set the Pause to 0 seconds. Then burn and you are ready!
