  • Getting audio off a DVD

    Posted by Brian Dugan on October 23, 2007 at 1:45 am

    Hi. I have a DVD that I need to grab some audio off.
    It’s corporate thing I slapped together last year and don’t have the original working files.
    The DVD itself just has 2 folders AUDIO_TS (empty)
    and VIDEO_TS with files such as: VIDEO_TS.BUP, VIDEO_TS.IFO,
    and VTS_01_1.VOB.
    All jibberish to me.

    I have a iMac with Premiere and After Effects.
    Which also has an internal Mic but I tried just capturing while the DVD played but the volume was extremely low and the ambient noise was way too high.

    Any other ideas?

    Thanks,
    Brian

    Download MPEGStreamclip (free), drag your VOBs into it, export to AIFF.

    If you want to grab audio from only a portion of the original DVD, just capture it into an edit system directly from a DVD player.

    Play the DVD on a computer. Cable the headphone jack to one of the audio input jacks and capture with an Audio capture program. You need to play around a bit with volume levels, but you should be able to get a perfect replication.

    I am using aimersoft dvd ripper for mac, it can trim excrescent or special parts of movies, cut off the black edges, adjust brightness, contrast, audio, etc. extract audio from dvd, fully support Mac OS X Leopard, that’s really good, you can free download it from its official site;
