Simplest way to sample audio from a DVD?

I would like to extract certain phrases from a DVD into logic. What's the easiest way and do I need to play and/or extract the entire DVD if I only want certain phrases at specific places on the DVD?
Thanks

You could use either one of these:

and drop the recorded file(s) into Logic.

Extract audio from a DVD how to

Is there a FREE and ease way to extract audio from a DVD?
Thank you

Set a tape recorder next to your speaker? Seriously, though - what kind of DVD? If it's a commercial DVD, it's copyright protected and people here shouldn't give you advice on how to do it. There are other places besides Apple's discussion forums to get that kind of info, and I don't see why this question belongs in "Using Mac OSX Leopard" in the first place.

Ripping Audio from a DVD to iTunes

Does anyone know a simple way to rip the audio from a DVD to an mp3 for use in iTunes? I have some stand-up DVD's that i would like to listen to when I want.

You have to extract/demux the audio portion from DVDs using a tool like MPEG Streamclip http://www.squared5.com/svideo/mpeg-streamclip-win.html
As most commercial DVDs come CSS encrypted in this case you have to use a so called Ripper to copy the DVD's content first to your HD.

Importing Audio from a DVD Concert

I want to import the audio from a DVD concet into iTunes.
I've tried MactheRipper and MAC3dec to do the conversion but the main concert file was 1 hour and 15 minutes long and it only imported the intro which lasted about 45 seconds.
What I'd really like to do is import the entire concert then cut it up into songs to import into iTunes.
So my questions are:
1. How do start with a 1.3 hour audio file on DVD and end up with 16 song files in my iTunes library?
2. Is it possible to do this with AudioHijack or a similar program?

The software is capable of extracting audio only at the chapter level. Using a DVD I mastered myself, I can use the Mode button, then select Title - Chapter Extraction, click the D button, and then the Streams button becomes active. Clicking that opens a drawer where all the various audio tracks are available, and they can be extracted one at a time using the SChpt and EChpt drop-down lists.
Again, please be sure that whatever you're doing with a DVD is legal in your own case. I am not suggesting that you use any particular software for any particular purpose, but just explaining how to navigate through a confusing interface in a program you already seem to have.
EDIT: I've read through your posts again, and you mentioned that you bought the DVD. Of course I can't be sure about this, but if it's a commercial DVD, it is most likely encrypted. In that case, you really must be sure that you have the right to extract audio tracks from the disc (or even to use the software in question)--even though you're not "copying" the disc by working only with the audio portion, it may be the case that even the audio on the disc is protected in some way by copyright. So, I can't emphasize enough that I in no way am encouraging you to do anything outside the scope of fair and legitimate use of your DVD product.

How to rip RAW PCM audio from a DVD

Hi guys,
I know audition can rip audio from a cd and from a video file but how can I rip the raw pcm audio from a dvd. I usually just record using 'what you hear' through my soundcard but is there a more accurate way of ripping the audio from a dvd? Any help would be nice....thanks in advance
George

I don't know of a way to do it with Audition, but there are some free little programs like VirtualDubMod or SmartRipper that can rip the WAV. There are some tutorials on the net on how to do it.
Just as a side note, PCM Audio on DVDs has 48 kHz samplerate, not 44.1 kHz like CDs.

Ripping audio from a DVD - Any ideas for Macs

Hi
I found a nice and simple piece of software from www.imtoo.com which can rip the audio out of a DVD and save it as an audio file for import to iPod. For a whole bunhc of reasons I'd rather have just the audio from films and comedy shows than the whole video.
Oddly this was listed in MacWorld, but they don't do an Apple Mac version. I am after a one stop solution if anyone knows of one - guess there must be as the IMTOO product works so elegantly, am sure someone has done this for the Mac.
Cheers
Sammy

I am not aware of any tool for the Mac that can rip audio from a DVD-A (audio only) disk.
I am also not aware of any 1 step tool for ripping the audio from ordinary DVD video disks.
The approach I took when I did this involved using MacTheRipper to copy to a hard disk, another tool to extract the audio, and then if I remember correctly, I used QuickTime to save the tracks as individual files (with the correct track lengths are listed on the cover). I was then able to burn the results files to a CD (audio format), and incredibly the resulting CD was recognised by iTunes (and Gracenote CDDB) with the correct tracks names etc. (The DVD was of a concert.)
This as you can tell was not a simple one step operation, it took most of an afternoon trying various tools.

Can I import just the audio from a DVD into itunes????

I'm a beginner to this Itunes and have been wondering this. If I can take audio files off of CDs and put them into Itunes. Can I take just audio from a DVD and put that into Itunes. Example: Can I take the audio from a live concert DVD for just one song?

Welcome, Don, to the Apple Discussions!
No, you can't do that with iTunes.
There is third-party software available that allows you to do so, though.
You might want to pay a visit to Google and enter
b dvd audio ripping
or some such terms.
Good Luck!

Freeware app to extract audio from a DVD?

Hello all,
Is there a freeware program I can use with OSX.3.9 to pull bits of audio from a DVD? Say about 30 seconds here, and 20 seconds there from a couple of different DVD's is all I need.
Fingers crossed, I'm on a bit of a tight schedule with this one!

Good grief... I had that on my computer already, and have never used it...
THANKS! It worked great!

Does anyone know a way to stream audio from Snow Leopard to a PPC running Panther?

I have recently aquired a iMac PPC, I've freshly installed Panther on it and it runs a treat. I was wondering however if there is a way to stream audio from my main Desktop, a 2007 iMac running Snow Leopard. iTunes library share isn't a solution either as I use Spotify a my main source of music and unfortunetly it is no longer supported for PPC's.
Thanks, Tim

Unfortunately I could get neither of these to work, probably because of my own ineptitude.
I couldn't get VLC to output from Spotify, this could be my own fault.
I also couldn't make Airplay play with OS X 10.3.9.
I did however find a messy workaround.
I am currently using Airfoil on my main Desktop to output Spotify and then am receiving it on Airfoil Speaker on my iPhone, which is in turn connected to my 10.3.9 iMacs audio input via a 3.5mm Jack.
You need to download an app called LineIn for 10.3 (http://www.rogueamoeba.com/legacy/) to play the sound from the input from the built in speakers.
To be fair it's not that messy it just requires you to have a device that can have Airfoil Speakers installed on it and have a 3.5mm Jack.

Is there any way to EXTRACT subtitles from a DVD?

Is there any way to EXTRACT subtitles from a DVD? My ultimate goal is to convert an existing DVD into a flash file for web use. It has subtitles which I want to retain. I have tried pulling the DVD files (.VOB) and encoding them to .wmv.
I was thinking perhaps I could import the DVD into Premiere, Encore, etc. I am able to pull the DVD video files off but the subtitles track/file is NOWHERE to be found.
Any ideas?

You cannot do this with Adobe tools. The subtitles are a separate image stream inside the vob.
As with any third party or Adobe tools, I assume you are using them for legal purposes.
Try the following link for a description of a process used. I have not used this tool. It is one of many, but I thought the description was useful.
http://www.booki.cc/avidemux/extract-dvd-subtitles/
The easier way to do this is to get the subtitle file from the creator. However, many DVDs are created using a script image file, the person authoring the disk may not have a text file of the subtitles, and I don't think you can use an image subtitle file for flash subtitles.

What is the best and safest way to convert songs from a dvd to an audio MP3?

What is the best and safest way to convert a song/or songs from a dvd to an audio MP3? Are there any free safe converters?
I have some live music from a concert (currently available on dvd only) that I want to convert to MP3 ... playable on my iphone.
Thanks!

Java float; IEEE 754 single precision has 32 bits: 1 sign bit, 8 bits of exponent, 23 bits for the mantissa.
Java double; IEEE 754 double precision has 64 bits: 1 sign bit, 11 bits of exponent, 52 bits for the mantissa.
When you widen a float value to a double this is what happens to the bits

Best way to extract a portion of audio from a DVD-Video ?

Yes it comes from a DVD Recorder.

All I want is audio from a DVD!

I have a few music DVD's, and all I want is to get the audio from them into my iPod. 1) I've seen the debate rage re. whether or not one SHOULD be able to copy DVD's (video and all), but no one ever definitively asked or answered, much less on this specific question re. "audio only from a DVD imported to iPod or iTunes Library." 2) I understand that if it involves a "work-around" of copy right protection measures, that such "work-around" instructions cannot be given here. 3) But if that is the case, WHY?! I don't get it... copy right laws allow us to burn copies of CD's we own, why are DVD's any different?
Andrew

hey there Addys,
DVD's use a different codec, sample & bit rate as well as a bunch of other specs than CDs. also commercial DVDs, be they Audio or Video have a copy protection scheme. in addition, the few Audio DVDs i've heard also have some sort of image. music CD's on the other hand have no copy protection to circumvent. iPod & iTunes music will only do stereo audio anyway, not the 5.1 you may have on your Audio DVD.
it's against the terms of use here to discuss ways to circumvent DVD copy protection.
