Pulling Audio from a DVD ?

[outerub]

I want to pull a sound byte from a DVD and save it as a WAV file. How might I do this ?

Thanks all.

To accomplish this you have to perform 3 steps:
- split the mpeg stream into separate audio/video streams
- recode the audio stream (DD) into WAV
- cut out the desired part

I don't know a program that does all this.
I'd use graphedit for the first, BeSweet for the second and Audacity for the third.
Read doom9 for expert advice.

Another way that may work is if you just pop the DVD in to your computer and start playing it, get an audio program like audacity and set the source as the audio out device or DVD (just keep going through them until it picks it up) and then just tweak the input levels and hit the record button when the part you want comes up. Please note that this isn't the CLEANEST way to do it and with different hardware setups YMMV. I've used this method to make a number of ringtones from movies.

I use Vegas for things like this. You can "import" the DVD files to Vegas, Put the imported Video and audio on the timeline, scrub to the part you want and slice it out, delete the video timeline and then render the selected clip to wav file.
