How to rip ONLY audio track

[Joe Satriani]

Hi guys,
my question is: How can I rip ONLY the audio track from a dvd in Linux! The answer should be easy if I were on Win: it's DvdDecrypter!
But how can I do?? I would the audio to be burnt onto a cd......
Thanks
Joe
Ps: command line is better than gui, naturally

Have you got mplayer? If so, look at the man page, and review the -dumpaudio and -dumpfile options.

Hi,

DVDDecrypter is working perfectly with wine. Would be strange to want something else...

To expand on what jggimi said regarding mplayer, this should work:

mplayer dvd://1 -aid 128 -dumpaudio -dumpfile sound.ac3

This should also work:

mencoder dvd://1 -aid <id of audio stream to rip> -oac copy -of rawaudio -ovc copy -o sound.ac3

To get a list of all the audio streams do:

mplayer -v dvd://1 -vo null -ao null | grep "\[open\] audio stream"
