Thanks, I've done that before, but it's not really what I want. DVD-Audio is not a video DVD. The files have similar names, but the data is different. The encryption is very different, which is not an issue as this particular disk is not encrypted.
Sounds like you have much more experience in that area than me but as far as I'm aware, the ffmpeg I used simply extracted the (uncompressed?) audio from the DVD audio files and put it, uncompressed, in a different audio file format ready to be passed to K3b to create the audio CD. I didn't compress anything on the way. I also ignored the option that Audacity gives to extract sections directly into mp3 files. I now remember telling ffmpeg to ignore the video part of the file and just dump the audio as-is. I still can't remember the exact command line flags without looking at my shell at home. Have you tried to run ffmpeg on these files? Cheers, --Amos
