I'm sure there are 20 ways to do it... Something like this might work: for a in *.vob; do mplayer $a -ao pcm:waveheader:file=$a.wav -vo null; done You also may want to look at the -dumpaudio and -dumpfile options of mplayer if you want the original format audio from your DVD instead of converting it to WAV files...
