How can I rip audio from music DVD’s?

I presume that's on Sourceforge?  That's one of my favourite sites for software!  Why buy software, when there is freeware software that is probably better and more usual friendly!

You should be able to use a freeware program called Audacity to re-record the music as an MP3, but this a very long way about doing it of course and it'll take ages.

I want to do this myself with my Allman Brothers Band DVD, as some tracks are just audio and some are DVD video, so I want to make the DVD tracks audio and burn them onto a CD, then I'll have the majority of the concert for playing in my car, or on an MP3 player.

Well I told you what to use...if you cant work it out.........

I also ripped some tunes from my CREAM live DVDs to CD-R!

I took audio cable from my amplifier (where DVD was connected) to my computer and recorded the music directly to a wav file with Cool Edit Pro. I also used that for fixing the big file as for smaller tracks. I had to set up my sound settings from the control panel before it worked: There's a section where you must choose a device (sound card f.ex.) as a recording source, and then select a volume level. I found this first a bit difficult, so I thought to bring this up.

Good luck for your work, it's a fun hobby, but don't loose your nerves!

Is this a DVD with video on, or an audio DVD? If it's a video one I don't know of any proper way of doing it (although I'm sure there are some), and for DVD-A you need a special program for it, all of which I think are illegal.
