ripping DVD-A (audio)
Hi all,
Did a search on the forum and couldn't find anything on this subject...
Is there a way to rip the audio tracks from a DVD-A? I recently purchased a DVD-A (Porcupine Tree's "Deadwing") because it contains a few bonus tracks not available on the CD release. I'd like to be able to rip these to an aiff or other high quality file to transfer to a CD or iPod (sans 5.1 information, all I want is stereo).
Does Mac The Ripper accomplish what I'm looking for, or does another rip audio from a DVD-A? Thanks!

Google FTW!
How to Rip DVD Audio to MP3, AAC or AIFF
I've got a SuperDrive Pioneer DVD-107. Will that be able to read the DVD-A information (ie, not the AC3 part)? Will I need additional software to play it?
The MacTheRipper solution implies (to me) that it only rips AC3 content, and not the actual DVD-A content?
Or have I got it totally mixed up?!
The only digital output on these players in DVD-A format is encrypted firewire.
While it may be possible to record via analog to a decent soundcard, most discs area also watermarked to interfere with that.
Ripping the AC3 track is much easier, but it will be compressed and sub-CD quality, but in surround.
Hopefully the upcoming 3.0 version of Mac The Ripper will make DVD-A extraction a little easier...
