The best way that I've found to do this is by using the free 0SEx to rip the audio and a52decX to convert the audio to MP3 (since you want to record directly to CD you may not need that step). Here are some online tutorials, with links: <http://home.comcast.net/~appleguru/dvdrip.html> <http://shep.thefridgeowl.com/tutorial/files/0SEx.html> I also like WireTap, but it records all audio on the computer, including system alert sounds, etc., which may interfere with your recording. -patch On Sep 20, 2004, at 11:32 AM, Crandon David wrote: >> Can you guys tell me what is the best way to extract audio from a DVD >> to then record to a CD.
