DVD Audio Ripper/Encoder

GrandpaNoob72 · 12-May-05, 03:12 PM

This may fall under the "No-no's" section, but let me explain all the way through first.

I'm trying to find an app that will allow me to rip selected portions of audio from a DVD movie, save them as either .wav, mp3, or .wma, and then burn them to audio CD. I'm trying to create/mix an audio CD of battle noises from all the war movies I *own*. This CD (and/or any copies of it) will be used on rifle ranges here on FLW.

The intent is to use the "Battlenoise Soundtrack" at the rifle range where I work, and play it over the PA system while the trainees are firing. We had one like it, but it has since been stolen, gone AWOL, etc.

It works best at night, when it's dark out, the trainees actually get into the firing a whole lot, they've even asked to be allowed to come back after graduation to watch another unit go through, or to go through again themselves...

Anyone know of a good freeware app like this?

I don't know of any freeware apps off the top of my head, but I think Nero Mix will do that.

Another thing you could do is jack in your stand alone DVD to your audio in, but it will be regular stereo rather than 5.1, but then any recording program will work, rathern than dealing with a ripper.

Yeah, there is a program called besweet that can rip dvd audio out to ac3, mp3 or wav files, and it meets the requirement of being free. Link as soon as I can get it.....

Da linkage. I use this proggy on a regular basis, setup 1st time is interesting, but once done, it stays done. I can't link directly to the program, but it's besweet 1.5. Have fun.

Ok, got it, but this is seriously weird to install, like you said... Any help over here?

Yeah, installing it at work now, will get you something written up in a few.

Ripping audio only from dvd. (Freeware programs)

Programs needed:
DVD Decrypter (for extracting the audio off of the dvd) Found at doom9.net

BeSweet (the audio encoder-command line only) Found at doom9.net
BeLight (Gui for BeSweet) Found at doom9.net
VOBInput.dll (so that BeSweet can read vob files) Found at dspguru.doom9.org
Step one: Download and install everything. BeSweet/BeLight/VOBInput.dll all go in the same folder.

DVD Decrypter goes in its own folder.

Step two: Rip audio track from dvd.

1) Play a minute or two from the dvd to validate it to the player

2) Start DVD Decrypter. DVD-D should automatically detect and id the dvd.

3) Pick the file sequence that you want to rip. Right now the entire movie is selected (PGC 1), but if you just want selected scenes, you can choose down to the chapter/cell. Just remember that it rips whatever is checked. You uncheck it, the program doesn't rip it.

4) Under Stream Processing, enable Stream Processing and then deselect everything except the audio track that you want. In the lower right corner, choose Demux. Then Start the rip process.

5) Once done, close DVD-D
Step Three: Start BeLight.

BeLight simplifies remembering all the commands that are necessary to re-encode the audio streams.

1) Select input and output files.

2) Choose the output file type and quality. You can output to AAC, AC3, MP2, MP3, VORBIS, WAV, AIFF, DD-WAV. For burning an audio cd, best to just dump to .wav, but if you know how to put a .wav header on an .mp3 file so that it will read on a standard player, so much the better.

3) Press start, go away for between 5-40 minutes based on computer power.
4) Enjoy. 99.9% of the time I don't have to touch the settings in here, but occasionally if its a quiet movie, I might bump up the gain a bit.

Thanks! That'll help me out quite a bit... New movies coming out, if I liek the gunfire/battle noise, I'll ba able to add that to the "Soundtrack"

Graaille · 16-May-05, 08:26 AM

Well, let me know how it goes, and if I need to add to/update the instructions, let me know. Like I said, I had just installed the progs at work, so it should be the same as a clean install, but . . . . I do have all the audio/video codecs already installed.

Any other questions about pulling dvd streams out of movies, let me know.
