Ripping audio from DVDs.

[CorporalClegg]

What's the best way for ripping audio from DVDs?

I did some Google-Fu but only netted a few different paywares that seemed slightly dubious.

Sound integrity is important because they're concert DVDs.

But there are only a couple of them so I'd assume not having to pay for software.

I've DVD ripper from Aimersoft which seem to do the trick just fine but the software costs about $50.

Was quite straight foward and just set .mp3 as the output format and it made and mp3 file with the sound track (it was concert DVD).

Well I want to rip to wav so I can make flacs.

I don't do mp3s.

In any case, $50 is a bit more than I'd want to spend.

nice think about the Aimersoft stuff it is directly exports audio and video to a wide range of formats and qualities including .flac and .ogg

It's freeware, I use it (spyware free too). It exports many extensions, including .flac and .ogg.

Thanks. I assume it's necessary to rip the whole video first?

It's just a good idea anyway to rip the video first, but yes.
