I need a free DVD audio rip program...
 

Does anyone know of a free DVD audio ripper I could download? Every one I find you have to buy. I'm trying to rip the audio from the new DVD onto my computer but any one I've tried has a five minute track limit, meaning that if any song is over five minutes, it gets cut off.

Any help would be appreciated.

Try to find a demuxing program. You'll end up with both the video AND audio in separate files, but there should be plenty free programs to do that.



For example DVD Decrypter (http://www.mrbass.org/dvdrip/) and follow these instructions:

Check out these... the first should deliver what you need. Play a little with the others, they're the best free stuff regarding DVD ripping.

Thanks for your help Ice and Crash. Hopefully I can get these to work for me.

These seem to convert the DVD video file to.avi. I'm hoping I also get the audio converted to mp3's I assume this application at www.autogk.net does both?

dvddecrypter will demux the DVD and it is a tiny program that works great and it's free.

It's not kept up to date anymore but I still haven't found a DVD that it doesn't work on - except for Blu-Ray and HD of course.

You all will have to forgive me as I've never done this before. Will dvddecrypter rip just the audio into individual files? If not, which one do I need to do that?

Kathleen, would you mind giving me a step by step guide through this process? :)

If the dvd is one that has chapters where the songs start - yes it will rip individual files. If it doesn't then the answer is no. I'm thinking of the many bootlegs that I have with no chapters - or even worse - chapters every 5 minutes that don't line up with the beginning of songs. The new Lost Highway DVD should be easy.

Open dvd decrypter and click on mode - select IFO. In the window that shows up there are 2 tabs - input and stream processing. Start with stream processing and click the box that says enable stream processing. Then unclick the check in the video box. Click in the demux circle. Now go to the input tab. You will see chapters with the boxes checked. If you want the entire DVD leave them alone and just click on the big DVD button at the bootom left. Make sure you have chosen where you want them to go on your computer in the destination choice.

That's it - pretty easy and free - and very accurate.

Thanks so much Kathleen...figured you would be of some help. I'm working on it now.

Ok, I got two different files with just the audio...is there a way to get each chapter to be a seperate mp3?

Use an audio editing program. I don't know of a DVD ripper that could do that.
