DVD to .MP3 Converter

This is my first post because I have a dilemma. I am trying to find a way to convert my course DVDs for an online masters program into .mp3s for the rest of the class and instructor. I have the permission of the university. I just don't know how to do it. I have tried a couple of free programs and trials of programs but nothing is working.
I semi-frequently edit on Final Cut Pro, so I understand a bit about video technology, but I am only limited to that little bit.
I am willing to spend up to $50 on a program that works. Any ideas?

Hello, and welcome to the Forum.
I have done this with MPEG Streamclip, which is a great, free utility for working with all kinds of video. You will also need the Apple QuickTime MPEG2 Playback Component ($20) if you do not already have it on your Mac. It is downloadable from the Apple Online Store.
With MPEG Streamclip you would open the DVD, then Export Audio, select an encoder (you will have to go with AIFF or AAC). You can convert the resulting audio to MP3 using iTunes or almost any sound editing app.

DVD to MP3?

How I make to convert DVD to MP3? Only the sound...

Actually your going to transfer the *.VOB file into a *.MP3 file.
My thought on DVD's I bought the DVD "legally" and I'd should be able to listen to the music I purchased on my Ipod!!!!!!! "legally"
I have been searching how to do this for weeks downloading different software, but finally success. The ripper software actually breaks each track into a single chapter where you can then change the name from chapter # to song name.
This is the least painful way to convert.
Step 1. ImTOO DVD Ripper Platinum For $45.00. http://www.imtoo.com/downloads/dvd-ripper-platinum.exe
Step 2. Winamp Pro $19.00, so I could manipulate the information like tracks #, artist, etc, etc. You can manipulte the data in windows explorer but with limitations.

How to rip DVD to MP3

How to rip DVD to MP3
Are you looking for a program that can help you extract audios from a concert DVD or a movie DVD, and then save them as MP3? If so, Pavtube DVD Ripper would be a nice choice, since it is able to remove protections from all sorts of DVDs, as well as convert and extract DVD files to many other video and audio formats, including MP4, 3GP, AVI, MPG, MPEG-4, FLV, MOV, 3G2, VOB, MP3, FLAC, MKA, OGG, WAV, AC3, M4A, etc., so that you can do whatever you like with the output files. Now I’ll take how to rip DVD to MP3 for instance, and aim to show you how easy it is to achieve this goal via the help of Pavtube DVD Ripper.
Step 1: Add DVD files
You can load DVD files into this program through “DVD Rom”, “DVD Folder” and “IFO/ISO”.
Step 2: Select MP3 as output format and set destination folder
Click the drop-down list of “Format”, and then check “Common Audio”, after that choose “MP3” as the output format. Meanwhile, if you do not want to use the save path set by default to store the output MP3 files, you can click the folder icon at the end of “Output” to specify your own destination folder. Additionally, if you want to combine all the audios into a single file, you can tick “Merge into one file”.
Step 3: Adjust audio parameters
Click “Settings” button, then you will enter the interface shown as below, on which it is capable of adjusting audio parameters like codec name, sample rate, bit rate and audio channels. Generally speaking, the default parameters can basically ensure the good output audio quality, but if you want to get a better quality, you can change the figures to be larger. Meanwhile, you should notice that the larger input values, the larger output file size.
Step 4: Start ripping
As soon as the above mentioned steps are finished, you can click “Convert” button to start ripping DVD files to the format of MP3. Once do it, the following window will show you clearly about the ripping info, such as ripping progress, ripping time, generated file size, etc., even you can choose “Shut down computer after conversion” to do other things while conversion is underway.
After finished, you can find the output MP3 files extracted from your DVD files through clicking on “Open” button.

I am not personally aware of any freeware that does what you ask. However, DVDxDV Pro (check it on VersionTracker) does what you want. The shareware price is $80, and is considered fairly high end. It does rip out audio separately from video. There is a less expensive version of this app available also, $25, but it does not separate the audio.
good luck

Comparison for iPod Users: Free Online Converter & DVD to iPod Converter

Compare two channels of obtaining video sources for iPod: one is using online converter, the other is DVD to iPod Converter. After the general introduction of the two methods, I will analyze their advantages and disadvantages for you to choose according to your need.
Part One: Enjoy YouTube (online videos) on iPod
Instruction: a useful website to convert online video freely: http://www.vixy.net/
For vixy, you can just copy the URL of the online video into the âURLâ blank of the vixy, then choose the format you want to convert to. Click âStartâ. For a short time, the conversion will be finished. You can click the âDownload the converted videoâ to restore the file.
http://www.aiseesoft.com/images/guide/vixy.jpg
Advantages: Free online video converter. No software to install. Only a few clicks you can get the converted file after a short while. The most important thing is that online video sources are numerous and original, so you can get the first-hand sources in time through it. Some personal DVs are also shared with you.
Disadvantages: They set limitation of the length and size of the video. The classical movies usually are not on line available. Even if existed, the quality of image and sound is inferiors.
Part Two: Enjoy DVD movies on iPod Touch, iPod Nano, iPod Classic, iPhone, iPhone (3G), Apple TV
We usually bought classical DVD movies for collection or regular watching later, but DVD cannot be copied directly into iPod for us to appreciate it at anytime and anywhere. On this occasion, we need to convert DVD to the format, video and audio settings (Resolution, Bitrate, Frame Rate, etc) supported by your iPod player.
Instruction: the way to convert DVD to iPod: using Aiseesoft DVD to iPod Converter http://www.aiseesoft.com/dvd-to-ipod-converter.html
Install and run Aiseesoft DVD to iPod Converter
http://www.aiseesoft.com/download/dvd-to-ipod-converter.exe
http://www.aiseesoft.com/images/guide/screen.gif
Step 1: Click âLoad DVDâ button to import your DVD
Step 2: Use âProfileâ drop-down list to choose your output format.
Step 3: Click âSettingsâ for setting your video parameters.
At last click âStartâ button to start your conversion.
More tips:
1. Merge into One File
If you want to merge the selected contents into one file you can check the "Merge into one file" option. As default the merged file is named after the first selected file (either a title or a chapter)
2. Movie Effect
You can set the brightness, contrast, saturation of the video and volume of the audio.
3. Trim Movie
It can help you to capture the segment of your movie.
http://www.aiseesoft.com/images/guide/dvd-to-ipod-thread-trim.jpg
4. Crop Video
You can remove black edge of your DVD movie and get any playing area of the video by using its "Crop Mode" function. You can also select "Zoom Mode" to extrude your video slightly to adjust to your portable devices so you can get the best video quality.
http://www.aiseesoft.com/images/guide/dvd-to-ipod-thread-crop.jpg
5. Take Snapshot
It allows you to capture your favorite pictures from your movie.
Advantages: In this way, you can make full use of your DVD: not only in DVD player, but your iPod player. The function of effecting and trimming allows you to clip the segment of the DVD movies complying with your will. You can enjoy more movies taking full advantage of your spare time while relaxing or traveling.
Disadvantages: DVD movies are usually popular, lacking of individualization. You can not share others' DVs.
With these two ways, we can enjoy the pleasure videos bring to us as much as we like. Have fun!

Depending on what update your iPod is, you may need
to dowload YAMB to make sure the videos play well on
your iPod. If you are watching a converted video on
your iPod and it freezes suddenly and this problem
continues, you need to download YAMB and convert the
files already converted with videora iPod converter
with YAMB, this will only take a few minutes.
I hope this helps you out.
Nope. All that a person with that problem should have to do is just update their iPod firmware to 1.1.1 with the newest updater, as that issue has been resolved in the latest firmware.

G3 Ibook.. 15, 40 and 80GB Video Ipods... G4 PowerMac Mac OS X (10.4.2)

Go to their support forum and ask-you will get a better answer from people who actually use the program.
It's not a paid for program is it?
A totally free program that rips and converts DVD's for Macs can be found here: http://handbrake.m0k.org/
Why would anyone on a Mac pay for a DVD rip program?

Best DVD to iPod Converter

I just got a New iPod video and I was looking for some advice for the best DVD to iPod Converter. The two programs that I have been looking at are
1.) Super DVD to iPod Converter and
2.) PQ DVD to iPod Video Converter
Both of them run around $30 and boast that they are the fastest. Anyone have any input?

Well, I'll disagree. I've used quite a few and to me, PQ DVD is by far the best. It records all DVD's, not just ones that aren't encrypted. All of them are slow, pretty much 1:1 when doing a movie. Meaning, if your video is a hour long, it's going to take an hour to do it. I just start it before I go to bed. I don't really know why support is needed- it is an extremely simple program to use. Personally, the how long have they been around thing doesn't mean a hill of beans to me. It works, it's simple, and affordable.

Help please. Extended display won't work on MBP and AOC 20" 1600 x 900 60HZ monitor. Mirror display does. I've a mini dvd to vga converter cable. Should this work?

Help please. Extended display won't work on MBP and AOC 20" 1600 x 900 60HZ monitor. Mirror display does. I've a mini dvd to vga converter cable. Should this work?

I have the same mini display port adapter and Belkin DVI-HDMI cable (but a Panasonic 42" Plasma HDTV) so just set this up on it to see if I could duplicate your problem, unfortunately for you (but good for me) I can't.
I connected the adapter+HDMI cable before switching the HDTV on and then powered up the MBP. It (the HDTV) came up with my background right away (it's set at Mirror not extended Desktop) and when I run System Preferences/Displays get the following. Sorry but all I can confirm is that adapter+cable combination should work ...
Try doing a Parameter RAM reset - hold down command/option/p/r keys at start up and wait for three chimes before releasing the keys?

Will DVD studio Pro convert Real Media

I have some real media clips and I want to convert them and burn them to DVD. Will DVD studio Pro convert them. IF they will how long will it take for 50 mins of video. Thanks

To convert RealVideo you will need to download a shareware tool named ffmpegX located at http://www.ffmpegx.com
When you venture down this path get your favorite beverage, and make sure you have plenty of time to READ THE INSTRUCTIONS!
On the download page near the bottom you find will instructions and links that will eventually lead you to the libraries you need for RealVideo which have to be downloaded separately.
Once you d/l them, locate your ffmpegX support folder located at:
systemHD>Library>ApplicationSupport>ffmpegX
and install the libraries
You will then be able to convert RealVideo using the mencoder to something that's useable in DVDSP or FCP.
I have had extremely good results to date. Basically same old story... garbage in, garbage out. if the RealVideo is good or excellent quality you will get like results!
Hope this helps! Post back.

MIDI to Mp3 converter?

I can not find an MIDI to MP3 converter that works for the Mac OS X! I have googled a million different things, and none of them work. I tried ilovemp3 and it keeps saying page not found every time I try to download it. Please tell me a FREE program I could use! Thanks!

I realize this post in a few months old, but for future reference you can convert a MIDI to Mp3 (or AAC) using the method below.
1. Add the midi files to iTunes.
2. Set the importing preferences to MP3 and configure bit rate etc.
3. Select all of the midi files and choose "Convert to MP3" from the Advanced menu. (or right client and the option is there).
