How do you get the audio from a dvd

The mp3 sounds you use,do you get them from a dvd and if so how do you transfer a dvd to editing software without it saying that it's copyrighted and cannot be performed?

well, if you have to you can always record the audio real-time by playing the DVD on your computer and recording the audio from your soundcard

but most of the audio comes from either AVI files or DVDs - with AVI files you just download Virtual Dub (it's free) and export the WAV file then convert it to MP3 and cut it up

with DVD files you can get a program like DVD Audio Extractor and extract all the audio to MP3 files and cut them up

Wow,thanks you know your stuff.

[Sir? what do ya think?]

i import my video files directly into audacity and export selections, i find that's the most timesaving method.

[jackulator]

really? what kinds of video files can you do that with?

[Sir? what do ya think?]

as long as you have the video codecs and the ffmpeg library you can do just about any, well, everything i've tried so far works.

Been actively collecting audio for like a month, but i just hate doing it lol. Can't wait to actually get round to making my soundboards, rather than just audio collecting lol.

I know - if only there was some way to use speech recognition to cut up audio clips for you... that is the most ridiculously tedious part of soundboard making
