Recording music from DVD

[Evilninja]

how can i rip music from dvd`s so i can put on a CD?

I did it once but remember how exactly!

If memory serves I downloaded a free 14 day trial of software (via a Google search) and did it that way.
The DVD was didvided into sections and via the software I was able to choose exactly when to start and stop the recording of the music I wanted, which it them ripped from the DVD.

Sorry that's a bit vague but it turned out to be fairly easy to be honest.

Its a while since I did this but its roughly as follows.
Download a program called Audacity (an audio recording setup) and install it. Put your DVD in the reader and set the system to record. You should see the soundtrack appear as two 'waves', one above the other as the dvd plays. When its done, normalise it, save the recording as a 'wav.' file and then burn it to a CD. Obviously it follows that you can just record the bits you want and save them as seperate tracks rather than recording the whole soundtrack. You can boost bass and other levels if you think fit.
You'll have to set the input to the right one (either 'line in' or 'stereo mix' ) if my memory serves, and you'll also have to adjust recording levels etc; best just record a couple of minutes at a time and fiddle with the settings until you get the hang of it.
Its straightforward enough once you have the thing in front of you (he says)!
Have fun.
