Looking for software to rip the audio from DVD's, something decent that will do native resolution and such. Anyone use or know of anything good preferably no or low cost. I use DBPoweramp for my flac file's and CD's.

I like DVDFab - free trial, busts thru 'most all copy protection, can also copy discs, and handles Blurays as well. What's not to like? Here is a link to the Top 5 DVD ripping products: lifehacker.com/380702/five-best-dvd-ripping-toolsAlso, AnyDVD does a superb job on DVDs and is *frequently* updated to get past the latest protection schemes cooked up by the industry. If you want Bluray ripping, too, get AnyDVD HD. And once you pay for it, updates are free forever... -RW- PS: Dyohn will be along shortly to tell you why you shouldn't buy any of these products. He's a good guy and has valid input. But I do as I choose... |

Yves, Foobar does not handle video, it is audio only. And I have it, use it, and like it...

>> Does foobar allow to rip from DVD <<
No.
And, DVDFab is a great program, but one hell of a CPU hog. It will take 98-100% of your CPU, so it's best to start your rips and go to bed...

To rip a DVD-A disc to an .iso file, you can use Slysoft AnyDVD free version (as was suggested by rlw). The .iso file will be a full backup copy of all contents of the DVD-A disc, including menus, extras, etcetera... (please note that I am talking about DVD-A discs, also known as DVD-Audio discs, not to be confused with DVD-V discs...). You can mount .iso files using software like Elaborate Bytes Virtual CloneDrive (freeware), but doing so is not required to be able to extract the audio tracks from a DVD-A ripped to an .iso file. With the plugin for foobar2000 that I previously mentioned, you will be able to drag the .iso file directly into a foobar2000 playlist. Next, you can click on the first track you want, then press and hold your Shift key and, while still holding your Shift key, click on the last track you want, then finally release your Shift key. Doing this will select the tracks you want. Now you can right-click anywhere on the selected tracks and choose Convert. A dialog window will open next, at the top of which you should be able to choose FLAC and set the FLAC compression level. As soon as you start the conversion process, foobar2000 will ask you to navigate to a file called Flac.exe (this is the main executable file of "FLAC for Windows" available here: flac.sourceforge.net/download.html ; it will typically be in your C:\Program Files (x86)\FLAC folder after you've already downloaded and installed FLAC for Windows). The total filesize of the FLAC files will typically be like say only 1.5 GB or less, whereas a whole DVD disc can often take up more than 6 GB. On a side note, on a 2 ch stereo listening setup, I found that many DVD-A albums that come with a separate, additional 5.1 ch surround mix as well as the original, 2.0 ch stereo mix will yield surprisingly different results between choosing the 5.1 tracks downmixed to 2 ch stereo (downmixed, using Channel Mixer in foobar2000, for example) and the original 2.0 tracks. Often, IMO the 5.1 ch mix downmixed to 2 ch sounds better than the 2 ch mix, and this can vary depending which track of an album you choose... P.S. - Well, actually I forgot... you don't even need Slysoft AnyDVD because the foobar2000 plugin allows you to open a DVD disc without having to rip it to an .iso file first. |
