DVD to WAV?

[Wurstwasser]

Hi, I must say I'm completely puzzled. Completely. Thousands of GUIs and tools but I cannot see what they do. I know much about audio and encoding and about nothing about DVDs and Video.

What I want is to extract the audio portion (to wav, or raw) of a DVD I own. I ripped the DVD and have the DVD on hard disk. A couple of .vob files plus other organisational files. I've found eac3to gui but AFAICS this is for hd dvd and blue ray? What's the easiest way to get the audio portion out of the .vob?

Thanks

OK, I have found AviDemux of Lordmulder. This seems easy enough for me. Just one question.

As a source, I have several .vob files. This will give me the same number of wav files. Can Avidemux convert several vob files to one wav file or will I have to manually join them (copy /b?)

DVD Decrypter will let you extract the audio stream of your DVD directly from the disc (see screenshot). To do this, you must, a) tick the "Stream processing" box, b) choose the stream you want to extract, and c) choose the "Demux" mode for this stream. If you are lucky, it will already be a WAV and you'll have nothing else to do, and if you are not it will be in another format like AC3 and you will have to decode it to WAV using e.g. ffmpeg.

In Avidemux, when you select the first vob file, if the remainder of the series are in the same folder, you will be promted as to whether you wish to join them all.
