Having replaced my video with a DVD recorder, I record radio programs from Sky then take the DVD to my computer and convert it to WAV for editing and writing to CD. The script I use is below. As you can see it goes round the houses, creating a VCD image first then stripping out the sound. Can anyone suggest a simpler approach (that doesn't involve physically moving equipment)? Note: I don't want to go via MP3 or OGG. The DVD audio format is AC3, BTW.
I'm sure that when ripping a DVD to wave to get onto a MiniDisc I used the following. mplayer -vc null -vo null -ao pcm -aofile test.wav <filename>
(I just tried it with MPG's on disk since the laptop doesn't have DVD, but I'm convinced that is how I did it).
