Can I rip the audio off of this music DVD?

[Paul.]

Hi all,

One of my favourite albums of all time is This Binary Universe by BT. I have the double album which has the CD and the 5.1 mixed DVD. It is a normal DVD, not DVD audio, but the 5.1 mix is incredible. I know my Apple TV can handle passthrough DTS to my Amp, so I want to get the AC3 audio off of the DVD without the video attached, and am having difficulty. I have Handbrake, but it wont give me the option to rip audio only.

I find that I never have time to sit down and watch the DVD (and to be fair, the short films are no where near as good as the music), so I just want the individual tracks in my iTunes library and streamable to my ATV.

Does anyone know of any software I can use? Preferably OS X based but I have a Windows partition on Hollie's Mac, so can be Windows if I have to 🙂

Hello Paul, maybe VLC would do it for you?

Thanks for the suggestions. VLC doesn't want to give me the AC3 file, it wants to transcribe it to something else. I tried exporting as a multichannel WAV but it only exported the default 2.0 channel. Streamclip looks interesting, in theory it should do what I want it to. I downloaded the beta that is mountain lion compatible, its asking me to install an MPEG2 component I already have in my library. Shall have another play later when I have more time, looks promising though 🙂

DVD Audio extractor could be another option for you Paul

DVD audio extractor has a 30 day free trial period. I used it following a similar request on here and it was perfect. Converted all my sons Tim Minchin dvd stuff into audio only.Multiple formats available.
