Extracting music (audio) from DVD?

This might not be the right forum for this, but I don't know where else to go.
I just bough a DVD I like very much (Out There, by Rick Wakeman and his band).
I would like to extract the music on it so I can put it in iTunes as a separate music album.
Is there any way of doing this (with freeware of shareware, I don't want to spend money for this)?
Is there Apple software, third party?
There used to be a program called SoundEdit in Mac OS 8-9, it was GREAT. You could do editing, splicing, etc.
Did anything replace it since?
Thanks G4, Tiger

Sorry, I didn't want to sound draconian but I have even seen topics removed that just asked about DVDs. I don't know about Canadian laws but bottom line is these forums are covered by the Terms of Use which specifically ban discussing ripping DVDs.
From the TOU:
2. Do not submit software or descriptions of processes that break or otherwise ‘work around’ digital rights management software or hardware. This includes conversations about ‘ripping’ DVDs or working around FairPlay software used on the iTunes Store.
As regards to item 1, I think the record companies should be required to sell me a CD copy for $1 (to cover incidental expenses) of any record I already own on vinyl since I don't think originally paid $15 for a few ounces of vinyl but instead for the right to listen to the music. Alas...

Can you extract the audio from a music video?

Some of my favorite songs were purchased from Itunes as music videos. (Because they are also my favorite videos.) Now I'm trying to figure out how to move those songs to the iPod +without having to buy the songs as just songs!+ It's been very frustrating. "Create iPod or iPhone version" doesn't convert to anything useful for a Shuffle. How do I extract the audio from the video?
Or do I have to buy the same music over again?

Hello RoyFeni,
And welcome to Apple Discussions!
Can you change the music video's *Media Type* to Music from under the Options tab of the *Get Info* window for the track in iTunes?
I'm not sure if you can, but hey its at least worth a try. It's all I have though.
Otherwise, this is not possible via iTunes. The only way you would be able to extract the audio is through the help of some third party application. Not sure how simple or complicated the process is.

Audio from dvd imported into iMovie

I don't know alot about any of this but here goes....my daughter went skydiviing and had it video taped with sound of course. The videographer added music to the DVD of the skydive. I got it into iMovie (I want to edit and get some still shots from it) but the sound is very low. I've got the clip control up to 150%, and my computer volume control on the key board is all the way up. First question: what else can I do to help volume? Second question: Is there a way to seperate the original sound of the video from the music that was added to the DVD? The music overpowers the converstion.
I have iMovie HD (6.0.3), Streamclip, and QuickTime MPEG2 if these would be helpful. Thank You

+On the volume issue, if you can extract the audio from the clip, and then make several copies of the audio clip, overlaying them one on top of the other in your iMovie project, that might boost the volume.+
Yes, but that would not separate out the music from the sound she wants to hear over the music.

Audio from dvd concerts

Is it possible to extract the audio from a concert dvd to put onto iTunes and then burn onto a cd?

Yes you can. There are a number of software apps you can use, but some only allow Quicktime video (and the audio) to be extracted. Do a google search for "extract DVD audio" and you'll find various apps. I use Audio Hijack Pro and it's $32, but WELL worth it.

Rip audio from dvd

I have a commercial dvd (not a movie) of a concert. How can I extract the audio from this DVD?

Can I just extract the audio from my iMovie creations?

I have made some nice videos of my band on iMovie, and am wondering if I can just extract the audio from those to have in iTunes to listen to live audio versions of our songs.

share/Export with Quicktime/drop down menu choose aiff..
exported file contains audio-only.
use iTunes/Garageband/Audacity/.. to convert into smaller aac, mp3 whatever..

Extract audio from dvd

I am trying to extract audio from a DVD I have previously made, when I open it there is nothing in the Audio_TS file. I have seen the previous post about video files. http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=596051&tstart=15
I would imagine that it would work the same way. I tried streamclip but it says I am missing a the mpeg-2 component. I did not think I needed this for a non-comercial DVD,
I would like a simple way to use a sound clip off a dvd if that is possible. thanks

follow Daniel's excellent suggestion (hardware solution).
to get just the audio (parts of) from a DVD is no trivial task…
the mpeg2 playback component is needed, because that is the codec in use on any videoDVD
the AUDIO_TS is allways empty on a videoDVD, it is only in use for SuperAudioDVDs.. (rare HiFi format)
the audio of a dvd is well hidden, "woven", muxxded (=tech term) into a data stream… tools as mentioned bbdemuxx demux that stream, in a second step you have to convert the file into something... usefull....
get a few cables, as Daniel said...
Plan C)
invest in tools as Ambrosia's Wiretap which records any sound, your Mac produces... you playback the DVD on your Mac, and you record simultanously the sound... needs additional $$ software and the same amount of time as Daniel's suggestion…

Extracting Audio from DVD?

Not sure if this is in right section, but can anyone give me some tips, I have a DVD that I want to extract the complete audio from, and put onto CD to listen to, what do I need to do it?
Thanks in advance
Jim.

Jimbo, THIS will make a high quality copy of the sound track, although it will have to do it in real time.

Extracting just audio from a dvd

I have a couple of concerts on dvd and would like to be able to burn the audio to cd. Is there anyway to do this with in the macbook itself or with freeware? When I import the dvd's using mac the ripper they import as video-ts files and vob. I'm not good with this kind of stuff so I thought that little bit of info may help. Thanks in advance.

Mac the Ripper has the option to split out the audio track and/or the video track separately. Click the D button for Demux options. I'm not sure what audio format you will get from the DVD.
You may also want to convert the audio file into an alternate format, I haven't used this utility, but you might try:
http://ffmpegx.com/index.html
Another alternative, which requires real-time playing the DVD, is to use something like WireTap to capture audio from the Mac.

Good luck.

Audio from DVD

Can't find a forum that seems appropriate for this question, this one seems the best:
I'd like to extract audio from some older DVDs that I have -- ones from the 70's. Nothing illegal or anything like that, just that I'd like to have have some of the music on my pod, they really did have some great tunes -- and you can't get them in the store, no Amazon, no iTunes store, nowhere. Even if you could, nothing quite like all the background stuff that makes it so fun to listen to.
Anyway, I'm looking for a way to take out the audio of an old DVD (meaning a DVD of an old movie, which is different from a DVD of a new movie, which seems to be easier).
Any suggestions?
Thanks much.

The only legal way is to capture the output of DVD Player using a utility such as Audio Hijack or Wiretap. Either of those utilities can save the captured audio in a format that iTunes can import.
Hope this helps.

Ripped audio from DVD to FCP

Once I've used a ripping program like Mac the Ripper to get video and audio files from DVD, how do I get the audio only onto a cd?

Geez David.
I kinda noted that. The question is where are the original unencoded audio sources? Is this music? Or someone talking? If it is music, use the the sources if they are not copyrighted.
You don't need "Mac the Ripper" to extract unencrypted or non copyrighted DVDs.
We get so many requests here about extracting VOBs from DVDs.
Given the terms of use, and laws about extracting from commercial DVDs, many of us are suspicious when a "client" brings in an encoded DVD and wants it "reauthored" for his reel.
Now this isn't you, but when I say get the original source of audio, then I wonder why it isn't available.
Or why didn't the DVD simply contain aiff audio files as a data DVD
take care
david

Using music files from DVD

Hey everyone, I was wondering how I would be able to "rip" the music files from a Dvd. I own the Korn Greatest Hits which includes a bonus DVD of their live concert at CBGB's. I absolutely love it, but I do not know how to take the audio files off of it. Is there a way to do this? Thank you for your help.

The best approach for this would probably be to import the dvd into your computer as an mpeg 4 or something similar, then use specialized software to extract the sound from it. Check out hand break for the dvd ripping, and look on versiontracker.com for something which maybe able to extract the audio. If this doesnt work, then im out of easy ideas...

Recording Audio from DVD Video

Hi,
I have a music concert video on DVD. I would like to record a song off the video so that I can learn to play the guitar part. Is there any software out there that will separate the audio from the video, or in other words, capture the audio and maybe convert it to mp3 format so that I can play it in iTunes without playing the video?
Sincerely,
Jim

Audio Hijack will let you capture audio from any running Mac Os X application.

Rip audio from dvd on pc?

hi,
I'd like to rip just the audio from a music video I have on a DVD, for use as an mp3 on my iPod. I already have DVD decrypter, videora and replay, but I'm not much good at experimenting with them. Could anyone provide a step-by-step? Thank you!

I searched the forums, came up with a ton of answers for mac, but none for PC. That's why I posted... please help!

Ripping audio from DVDs?

I have a music DVD that shows a favorite band of mine playing live and I really like the way it sounds, so I wanted to put it in my iTunes to listen while doing other things. So, my question is, is there a nice (free?) program or way to rip the audio? I have iLife if that helps.

Once you copy the DVD to your hard drive with MacTheRipper
<http://mac.sofotex.com/download-126887.html>
you can use MPEG Streamclip
<http://www.squared5.com>
to extract the audio to an AIFF file. iTunes can convert this to other formats.
