How do I import audio from a dvd?

There is a song on a dvd that I want to import into iTunes. I searched all through iTunes store, amazon & the movie companies website, but there is no soundtrack available for sale.... or by the musicians anywhere.
Is there a program that will record any audio that I play on my mac, and then I can import that audio into iTunes?

G5 dual 2.5, Mac OS X (10.4.5), 2 Gig Ram, MOTU 2408 mkII, Logic Studio Pro

It's currently unclear if actually copying a DVD is illegal. What is illegal under the Digital Milennium Copyright Act, is breaking the encryption on commercial DVDs (a necessary first step in copying). Recording the audio as it is played by your computer (what is sometimes called the analog loophole) is still, apparently, covered under the older fair use laws. So, as long as you're just recording the sound for your personal use, I think you're okay. Burn it to CD and sell or distribute it and you've crossed the line
