    Default Extracting Audio from a DVD

    As the title suggests, does anyone know of a good, reliable, tool to extract audio from a DVD title. Possibly copy protected, but that is not usually an issue. I've tried numerous tools but none seem to work reliably. One produced a garbled result as though there was a speed issue overlayed with something else. Another seemed to produce several loooooong files that bore no resemblance to the original. A google does not seem to produce anything reasonable. Certainly the apps listed don't seem to perform, unless I am not holding my tongue right. VLC doesn't want to extract the stuff, though it plays the video fine. Audacity won't import the audio, again, unless my tongue isn't right.

    SO what works? How do you do it?
    I'm out of my mind, but feel free to leave a message...

    It's been a while but I can remember doing it with Sony Vegas Pro.

    What kind of DVD mate? Music?

    There are issues with most DVDs. One is that the audio spans over the vob files, so extracting 1 particular track is impossible. Getting the whole audio file is simple. But you would have to edit out the tracks.

    Vegas Video, as suggested by WhiteOx, is a pretty sophisticated program and may be able to read the menus to extract the tracks. I have never used it.
    The fact that there's a highway to hell and a stairway to heaven says a lot about the anticipated traffic flow.

    Sorry its taken so long to get back to this. It is a music DVD and I don't care if I have to split the audio after extraction. It does appear to have some form of copy protection on it so I might need to address that first. All I want to do is get it into a form that I can listen without being tied to a DVD player. I think I have Vegas around somewhere so might investigate that, though your offering, h8fg4, looks to hold some promise, thanks people.
