Does anyone know of software (for Mac) that would allow me to create audio files off the soundtrack of the DVD?Steven,
Have you tried iTunes? You set the output file type in its Preferences and then choose from the Advanced menu a Convert To MP3/AIFF/Wave item. These features are on the OS X version. I don't know what iTunes can handle on OS 9 or earlier.
You cannot use iTunes to extract the audio soundtrack from a DVD. You can't use QuickTime Pro or Apple's DVD Player for this task either -- in fact, you can't even do basic stuff like take a screenshot of a DVD using Apple tools. This is because of Apple's overly aggressive stance on digital rights management (apparently, even "fair use" is out of the question). Someone earlier suggested using Audio Hijack, which ought to work. Another possibility would be using a DVD ripper like forty-two <http://www.xlr8yourmac.com/archives/jan03/012303.html> to extract both audio and video, then using QuickTime Pro to save the audio track as a separate file.
