Hello Annie and Others,
You might take a look at Metakine's DVDRemaster Pro ($49.95). I'm
afraid I can't give you much information about this product, but it's
been extensively discussed on the mac-access list where there are some
people who are very interested in DVD ripping. A year ago one of the
members posted asking for an alternative to handbrake, which he found
very slow, and I responded with a link to a review of this product
from MacApper that mentioned that it ripped their trial movie three
times faster than handbrake. The list member really liked this
program because it was nearly 100 per cent accessible at the start and
the developer responded to his requests for further improvements.
There's a regular version of the app that's $10 cheaper, but which
won't separately extract the audio. The main criticism I've seen of
this product is that, while it does a great job, the help
documentation is decidedly sparse. Again, since I haven't used this
myself, you should take all this as hearsay evidence for a possible
product to investigate. I know there are some mac-access list
subscribers who participated in those discussions that are also on
this list, so maybe you'll get a more knowledgeable response.
Alternatively, you could just join the mac-access list yourself and
ask about this product and its usage.
I'll post these contact links, but please note that the mac-access
list is just in the last stages of a migration to completely Mac-based
servers and a new domain address (so list posts now go to [email protected]
). I think they may also have to do a server rebuild this weekend.
The current mac-access list information page (under the old domain
name):
http://mail.tft-bbs.co.uk/mailman/listinfo/mac-access/options/
And the contact emails (at present) are:

Or, you can check this out on your own:

Also, I'm not sure whether DVDRemaster Pro can convert directly to
mp3. I think it may default to mp4, because mp3 files have no
extension for separate video and audio support, whereas an mp4 track
can contain either audio, video, or both. Hence, a program that can
extract either audio or video separately, would not be set up to work
with mp3 files by default.
HTH
Cheers,
Esther

Hi. The way I've been doing it requires a few steps, but it does
work.
I've been using mac the ripper, to extract the vob files from dvd.
If you select a single title, it will rip that tile to one vob
file. I then use mpeg stream clip, which can pull the audio from
the vob file, and save it as an aiff file. At that point, I can
encode it just like any other audio file.
I would just use handbrake, but I hear it is very slow. Plus, not
sure if you can just rip the audio.
If there's a better way to do this, I'd love to hear.

Hi all.
Which program is the most accessible for making dvd's into mp3. I
have
thought of handbrake, but I can not really got it to work. I am
willing to pay for a program, if there is one, which is accessible
with voice over.
Best regards Annie.
