How do I rip audio from a DVD?
Solution 1
-
Inspect DVD with following command
pg@pipoTower: ~$ tcprobe -i /dev/sr0
look for line where chapters is like following:
[dvd_reader.c] DVD title 1/1: 17 chapter(s), 1 angle(s), title set 1
-
Rip all titles to mp3 where for example {1..17} is the number of chapters of your dvd
for i in {1..17};do transcode -x null,dvd -y null,tcaud -i /dev/sr0 -T 1,$i,1 -a 0 -E 44100,16,2 --lame_preset medium -m ~/tmp/yourDestinationMp3File_chapter${i}.mp3; done
For details of command:
- -T title,chapter,angle (described by your tcprobe command in point 1.)
- -a audioTrackNumber
- -i inputDevice
- --lampe_preset can be: medium, standard, extreme refer to man transcode for further details

Here's what you're looking for: Handbrake.
It's a fairly useful tool for what you're trying to do. To install, add the ppa ppa:stebbins/handbrake-releases
to your software sources (here's how to do that) and install handbrake from the Software Center.

For a proper Ubuntu approach I'd suggest to have a look into ffmpeg (command line). Example:
ffmpeg -i infile.wmv -vn -acodec copy outfile.wma
Or, if you want an MP3 file:
ffmpeg -i infile.avi -vn -ar 44100 -ac 2 -ab 192 -f mp3 outfile.mp3
Also there is another PPA software called Gnac; it's a GNOME software that uses the Gstreamer media framework and has a GUI.
Launchpad PPA: https://launchpad.net/~gnac-team/+archive/ppa
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:gnac-team/ppa
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install gnac
Solution 4
Use VLC's "open media" menu option to open the DVD, set the title to the one you want (you may have to explore the DVD by actually starting to view it, to get the title number).
Then instead of telling VLC to play it, tell it to stream it to a file.
Works great - you may have to use audacity to trim the results, as VLC will go back to the menu after playing the title you selected... so you'll get the menu track on infinite repeat at the end of your file :)

Building on this answer and this post, I came with a similar solution for extracting uncompressed WAV files. Use tcprobe -i /dev/sr0
or lsdvd
to determine the DVD title with the chapters of interest, then (assuming 17 chapters in title 1):
for i in {1..17};do
transcode -i /dev/sr0 -x dvd -T 1,$i,1 -a 0 -y wav -m /tmp/track${i}.wav
done
In my case this results in WAV files containing lpcm 16bit 48kHz 2Ch
, same as the tracks on the DVD. You can check the resulting files using mediainfo
.

I remember reading a long time ago how you can rip the audio (music) from a DVD and convert it to a usable/readable format.
I can't find that article any more. Can anybody help me?

Adobe over 11 yearsIt don't seem to have x64 version. If I try to install x32 -- I'm suggested to remove tons of x64 libs.

Martin Schröder over 10 yearsSorry, but see the Handbrake FAQ: Handbrake can't extract only audio.

jrg over 10 years@MartinSchröder yes, and no. If you get this, then you can export it using VLC or something.

MountainX about 9 yearsWhat would the transcode command look like when the DVD title line is
DVD title 1/11: 3 chapter(s), 1 angle(s), title set 1
? Thank you. -
Philippe Gachoud about 9 years@MountainX try to replace the 17 by your chapters number which in your case is 11, so it'll be for i in {1..11};do transcode -x null,dvd -y null,tcaud -i /dev/sr0 -T 1,$i,1 -a 0 -E 44100,16,2 --lame_preset medium -m ~/tmp/yourDestinationMp3File_chapter${i}.mp3; done
-
matandked almost 8 yearsGreat, works for me. I would only change: for i in {1..17} to for i in {01..17} to have names easier to sort.

doesn't seem to work with DVDs. Fails with[WARNING] something went wrong while querying the CD... Maybe a DATA CD?

Ciro Santilli OurBigBook.com about 7 years@landroni thanks for the report. What version, and what DVD did you use if you can tell? I think it worked for me when I tested it, but I don't have any DVDs at hand anymore.

landroni about 7 yearsIt was version 2.5.5. The DVD is a common DVD with a concert on it, with 23 chapters. And it failed here to initialize at all.
