I have a training vid on DVD and I am curious if anyone knows a way to rip the audio off so that I can burn it to a CD for listening to in the car and such.
Not the friendliest app out there, but it will allow you to rip the elemental streams.
I set it to create a new file at chapter breaks, which did an excellent job of breaking up the tracks (vice one long file).
You can then convert the audio to whatever format you wish.
For an audio CD, just convert to wav and send them to Toast.
- I used it to rip a concert DVD to a series of AAC files, turned out great.

i guess most of audio elements rip off from commercial dvd are ac3 format then you need a little software to convert to aiff. so itunes can play it and convert another coding.

Hmmm ... yeah, I definitely recommend Wiretap. It's a freeware service, and very easy to use. It'll record things in AIFF, which takes up a lot of space, but if you wanna burn it to audio CD, just drag it into iTunes, convert it to an mp3 with a high bit rate and there you go! Very simple ... good luck with it!
You say its freeware but I can only find a pro version that costs money. Is there something I am missing?
I do apologize, it seems that Ambrosia has started requiring a fee to use WireTap. I downloaded it while they were still offering it as freeware. \ Sorry for the bad info ... if Sound Studio came bundled with your Mac, you might be able to use that. My Mac's in for repair right now, so I couldn't give you a procedure. Let me know if you'd like one and I'll reply later this week when I get my iMac back!

So does anyone know which software can convert from .PCM or .AC3 to AIF? I've tried using OSEX to rip these audio files from a DVD but iTunes doesn't recognise them.

I'm on a PC till Tuesday - Wednesday, so I can't check the link. If that one doesn't nwork, I'd Google for "wireTap" "Freeware" to see if you can find any lingering freeware copies out there.

Yeah, you still might be able to find the free version through some old sites out there. You might wanna try this link from VersionTracker:
