[MEncoder-users] Extracting DVD-audio?

[Hassel, Scott]

I'm wondering if your terminology (DVD-audio) isn't confusing people as
this SHOULD be simple.

As this is nothing more than a regular DVD and the AUDIO_TS directory is
empty then the audio is probably stored as audio attached to a video
piece on the DVD ( all this is supposition as I don't have the "I Love
Lucy" DVD). 

Anyway, if you could, I would you suggest that you run:

mplayer dvd://1 -frames 0 -identify

If you post it here maybe we can help with selecting the right
audio/video track. Once you have selected the correct information
audio/video track you can use a command similar to this to extract to a
wav file if you wish.

mplayer dvd://# -aid # -vo null -ao pcm:file="filename"

-aid selects the audio track you want to listen to and will be listed by
the previous command. Default audio on most DVD titles is 128 and is
usually increased by 1 for each alternate track (129,130,etc.). Please
remember that you can have different audio sets for each dvd://#.
-vo null does exactly what it sounds like "no video out"
-ao tells mplayer to decode audio as straight pcm (wav file format) and
save to file "filename"

Well, I hope this helps.

I have a friend who has a lot of "I Love Lucy" DVD's, which each have a
DVD
audio track of the I Love Lucy radio show on them.  I can play the radio
show on
my DVD player, and by using xine and navigating through the menu's, but
I can't
figure out how to play the audio using mplayer (or extract it to an MP3
via
mencoder).

Can somebody give me an example command line to play DVD-audio on DVD's?
(and
explain to me how to find the audio in the first place? e.g. figure out
what
number to use to extract the audio?)


I've tried things like "dvd://#" with lots of different numbers, but
that just
shows the videos on the DVD's.

Thanks,
Jay
