I cannot figure out how to rip audio from a DVD. It's a Pink Floyd DSOTM DVD which has Dark Side of the Moon on it. All I want to be able to do is rip the audio. So far I am completely not understanding how to do this with ffmpegX.

Does anyone have any tips or could point me to a web site that has instructions?

I've been trying to figure this out for a couple of hours now. It might be simple for some, but it's not for me.

Thanks.

You could just capture the audio from the DVD using Audio HiJack Pro or similar.

ffmpegX doesn't rip anything from protected DVDs, audio or video. You need a different program to do that, such as MacTheRipper. Once you have ripped it from the disc, you can put it into ffmpegX to encode it into MP3 or something. Two steps: rip, encode.

Another option is to use Handbrake, which does handle protected DVDs and rips and encodes in the one program.
