Hey, I was wondering if there is an easy way to extract audio from ripped (or unripped) DVDs on OS X.

I have a few live concert DVDs that I'd like to extract the audio from so that I can listen to it on my iPod.

If anybody knows any programs that can do this please let me know!

Thanks a lot!

Click to expand...

Note: if you have a iPod with video, you can listen to just the audio portion in the "music" menu...

Otherwise (I think it's okay to talk about), I use QuickTime Pro to extract the audio portion...
 
  • Upload video into iMovie
  • Click on advanced in the tool bar
  • Select extract audio
  • Export as sound file

Job done

All the best,

If ripping from DVD I do the following:

Step 1 Extract audio using OSEx to create a VOB file

Step 2 Convert VOB to AC3 using bbDEMUX

Step 3 Convert AC3 to MP3 using mAC3dec

You should be able to find all these apps on Macupdate.com. As far as I remember, they're all freeware or 'voluntary contribution' shareware.

Works for me, but a bit convoluted. I found this method in the ilounge.com forums.
 
yah audio hijack is pretty sweet. for anyone that wants to have a swiss army knife to get audio from one source and into another with several format options its a great tool.
