Rip Audio Tracks from Your DVDs
12 Feb' 2010If you’re a music fan, you probably have a number of DVDs of concerts by your favorite artists. And you may want to listen to the music from these DVDs, say, on your iPod. In many cases, the “soundtracks” of concert DVDs are not commercially available (and even when they are, you already own the DVD, so why pay twice?). So why not rip the audio yourself, and make your own live album from those favorite DVDs?
An obvious method is to capture the audio playback from an application on your computer (DVD Player, for example) into a file that you can edit, chop up, and tag. While you could use this method, it requires you to play the entire DVD while the application runs on your computer.
An easier way would be by using some useful and simple tools to to instead pull the audio files off your DVDs. We will be using HandBrake and Audacity.
