Converting vob files to wav files with DVD2AVI

[erilyn]

Spent a while googling and searching download sites for a different way to extract audio files from dvds, as the old tried-and-true method of graphedit wasn't working in this case (A Night Out dvd). Eventually came across thread on some message board about using DVD2AVI for audio. I have this program, and used to use it for converting dvd to avi files before acquiring the improved version of VirtualDub from kirsch (thanks again! *g*). But I only used it for video, as apparently there are nearly always synch problems if you do sound too, or something. I was just following the instructions at Nicky's Digital Guide site.

But basically, DVD2AVI makes wav files from vob files, quite quickly, and you can select which track of the dvd to work from! Just what I needed, and I already had it on my computer! *g* And I know this will be of interest to virtually no one, but if I don't put it in here, I might forget how to do it in future :)

Maybe now I'll be able to make the A Night Out mp3s!

you can do it with virtualdub too --- just open the vob with the mod version that works for dvds, and then under file you can pick 'save as wav' :)

Really?

looks again at VirtualDub, this time properly

Fucking hell! Ah well, good to know, good to know, but good lord, I'm blind *g*.

Got any recommendations for wav editors? I use Creative Wave Studio, came with the sound card. It's ok, apart from when it crashes, but nothing special (as far as I know *g*).

I use the wave editor that comes with nero -- it's also nothing special, but for my limited skills, it's fine.

I probably should learn to use the programs I have before going looking for more :)

heh. I'm a compulsive downloader, so I can't say anything ;) But virtualdub, man, I think it'd mow my lawn if I learned how to work it right. That program will do *everything* ;) It even works for capturing--the only problem is that I can't capture at a screen size bigger than like, 352 x 280. So I capture with something else and then I use vd to process. the filters are so cool :)
