![]() ![]() A free program called DGIndex can do it in 1 step, or just strip out the AC3 files, and it’s often included in other programs for this reason that’s not it’s primary purpose so it doesn’t give you a lot of options. ![]() Getting wav audio from a DVD usually follows 2 steps: stripping the AC3 tracks out of the DVD’s VOB files, & then converting AC3 to wav or whatever. You can also keep your separate 6 channels in 6 individual wav files, in a special type of wav file, in a Windows Media Audio file, & in a few other (not as popular) formats. You can work on the mp3 itself, but the editing software will only convert it to a wav file, do it’s thing, then re-encode the results to mp3 when you’re done - all behind the scenes in a temp folder so you might not be aware that you’re losing quality. You’ll find tools & methods that’ll help if you want to do the extra work, and converting the AC3 to wav audio lets you use audio editing/processing software. The result will almost always be lower volume across the entire audio file, you may find what was on the surround channels overwhelming everything else, and in situations where you can’t really crank up the volume, you might find that in the more quiet parts of the audio track, you can’t hear anything. Many DVD players will compensate for this so you might not have ever noticed, but, converting from AC3 & down-mixing to stereo is based on the original mix on the DVD. ![]() Also, I’ve not seen anything at the developers web site that Plato DVD to MP3 Ripper will handle Audio DVDs.īecause Video DVDs often use the theater mix for a 5.1 soundtrack, what you hear at home may not sound right - the surround channels are boosted, speech may sound dim, & there can be a very large (dynamic) volume range. If you have problems using the program, remember that many DVDs have significant copy protection - you’ll usually have to find/use ripping software before you can do anything but play the DVD - & of course you’re responsible for not breaking any laws. ![]()
