Hi

I'm trying to get audio files from DVDs that I have authored but not burnt. I use Demux or Osex or DvdExtractor but it seems that the extracted audio files can't be re-saved or exported from QTPro as AIFF or whatever. I get either .m1a or .m2a or AC3 (not recognized by A-Pack).
How can I transcode these files towards MP3 or AIFF - or a true AC3 ?

You'll need to decode them first... I use a command line tool for my mpeg audio decoding, if you're comfortable with that I can let you know how it works.


Cleaner can do it easily.

I don't know of specific freeware/shareware tools, but I'm sure if you searched Versiontracker.com for "mpeg" you'll find plenty of tools, some of which at least should have MPEG audio decoding. Or, as I said, if you're comfortable with command lines then Fink has an excellent tool available...

Once you've got uncompressed (PCM) audio, you can dump that into your DVD directly, or compress it to AC3 using A.pack, or to MP3 using iTunes or lame.
