I have a few live concert DVDs that I quite like, and I'd like to listen to them as audio discs, too. Now, I know that I can just record the whole thing in realtime and edit it into individual files from there and encode it however I want; however, this means going from digital to analog back to digital again, and is only done in realtime.
Clearly the digital information is on the DVD somewhere. Does anyone know how I'd go about extracting it as audio in its proper resolution?

i think Lunch Money is one of my favorite kvr names ever. it's sooo classic.
here's the deal. i bought that program dvd audio extractor(it wasnt version 2 when i bought it though?). i kind of regretted buying it cause there's got to be a way to do this for free. i guess the demo version would be good for you to take care of those few dvds you have within 30 days. I was really impatient so i paid what is 40 dollars for us canadians.
check www.videohelp.com and do some good research though and see if there is a way to do this for free. if you can find a way to convert your dvd movies into AVIs or something of this type, loading a movie file into Goldwave will bring up just the audio, a little tip.

, Google for DVD Decrypter. It's free and it's mainly for video dvds, but i've used it several times instead to extract audio from dvds

I'd second DVD Decrypter. In fact, I'd have proposed it first, had tommo not beaten me to it. Clearly I have nothing useful to add but I felt "me too" was far too short a post.

Mr. Tunes: cheers! I don't even truly know where the name came from.
Thanks for all the recommendations; that gives me some stuff to check out. I'll report back.

I got DVD Decrypter, and it's stellar, even if I don't use it for this purpose. What a great program. Now, since I know almost nothing about this stuff, the next question would be:
- tommo helped me with using Decrypter to extract only the audio file. But it gets extracted as a .VOB. Now what? How do I get it to .wav?

Demux the ac3 / dts stream from the vob(s) and then convert it to wav
Demux: vobedit0.6 (or dgindex)
