Does anyone know how I can take audio from a DVD movie ?

the browser does not let me take the audio..

I was told i need a software..

If u know anything about this, please can u give me some specific info ?

thanx,

if your on a mac
mac the ripper to copy file to your machine
then ffmpegx,mpegstream clip to get the bit you want
or use handbrake

I had the same question, but how about for a PC?

if you set your recording input as wave output in the windows volume control you can sometimes record the audio directly into live using directx audio drivers while you play the dvd. it depends on the protection on the dvd i think whether this will work.

you can also plug a hardware cable from an audio out to an audio in, or you can rip the vob file (google for rippers) and separate the wave audio using something like virtualdub.... if you can't use the directx method, an audio cable really is the easiest...

i use wiretap for mac. it is free too.

I agree will all the above...but...worst case you can always play the DVD and rtecord the sound to a wav file (or mp3) with freeware like opD2D.

Dunno...I only use mac It is unusual that anythign is exclusively mac though.

Re: the aiff file problem are you sure you are dragging it into an audio track not a midi track?

Maybe compress it first too to MP3.

he's got to turn off the compression in wiretaps preference pane.
That makes the recordings full aiffs, which ableton needs.
