Q: Rip the audio track off a dvd

I am learning Spanish and would like to the take the entire sound track off a Spanish movie and turn it into an mp3 so m I could play to listen to it on my ipod shuffle.  I just want to listen to the track when I am cleaning.  I don't need any visual.

Does anyone know how to do this?

Thanks.

    Is the DVD copy protected? If it is then it is ilegal.

    WireTap Studio will "record" it as the DVD plays, directly to MP3, but it works in 'real time' so you'd have to play the DVD through to record it.

    Other than that, you'd need "ripping" software to extract the video to a file, and then a converter to extract the audio FROM the video file, but as lllaass so wisely pointed out, if the DVD is copy-protected, it's not legal... and NO ONE here can recommend doing that.

    You may be able to find out who actually performed the music score on the video and then get a download of that song for use in a music player... for a usual customary fee, plus profit. Knowing who made the music does open up other possibilities, though probably not video-length in duration, unless there is a soundtrack available. Maybe to contact the company whose name is on the video and ask if they have access to the soundtrack you can buy, & see what they say.

     

    {The original WireTap software years ago was handy in saving small files from the dialup internet that sometimes would go away or never be found again; or to make backups of sound to keep in the computer of noise within reach of a microphone attached to the computer. The old version could do little else, for free.}

     

    Good luck & happy computing!
