[LAU] Getting the audio track from DVDs

Hello!
   I always use mplayer for that:
mplayer -vo null -dumpaudio -dumpfile output.mp3 intput.vob
   works like a treat. Maybe you could even use mencoder or ppossibly the 
ffmpeg utility or whatever it was they suggested at the time for extracting 
audi from youtube.
   If you want a different format than mp3, something like this might do the 
trick:
mplayer -ao pcm:file=tmp.wav -vo null input.vob
   And then encode the tmp.wav to whatever you like. It's also easily 
scriptable.
   You will only get seperate songs out of that, if they are stored in seperate 
.vob-files.
   I have written a script to trim recordings from radio. With a slight 
adjustment that script will work for videos as well. It relies on you 
listening to / skipping through the input and marking times. It uses ecasound 
to do the trimming.
   Hope that helps.
   ciao
          Julien
