Hi, Thanks for the link and info. I didn't find any jaws ugly as you stated. I am pasting a brief bit I copied here.
This article describes the steps for ripping audio from a DVD to MP3. The same steps can be used for any source (Flash) to any supported format (FLAC). The VLC media player is available for Windows, Mac OS and Linux (menu appearances and options are slightly different, but the described features are all available). Ad Steps Helpful? 1 Download the VLC media player from the VideoLAN website at http://www.videolan.org. Ad Helpful? 2 Start VLC and under "Tools", open "Preferences". Click on the "All" radio button to display all settings, and choose what quality you want it to be here under the "Input - Codecs" section for "twolame". This only needs to be done once, although you may want to check your settings if you have upgraded VLC or will be ripping a large number of discs. Save your settings when you're done. Helpful? Helpful? 3 Select "Convert / Save" (Control-R) from the File (or Media) menu. Helpful? 4 The Open Media window is the standard menu for media handling in VLC, including streaming, converting or playing. Select the "Disc" tab (Alt+D - pressing Alt+D will toggle between "Capture Device" and "Disc"). Note that you need to select the track and chapter if you want each segment on a concert DVD saved to an individual track. You can determine which track and chapter to record by playing the DVD with VLC first. Helpful? 5 This is the final convert window: make sure that all options are configured properly before continuing. The screen shot shows the settings for extracting audio from Title 1, Chapter 2 on the inserted DVD. You will want to name your MP3 audio segment and choose a Profile (under Settings) for your conversion. Choose "Audio - MP3" from the pull down menu. To ensure that you extract only the audio portion of the chapter selected, edit the settings for your chosen profile (or create a new one) and uncheck the video option under the video codec tab, then choose the settings you want for your chosen audio codec. These settings are retained for subsequent sessions. Helpful? Helpful? 6 Once you select Convert/Save, the streaming window will appear. DVD tracks will rip faster than real time, in spite of what might be displayed in the streaming status bar. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Dialup @ 56k" <dialup...@bigpond.com> To: <jaws-users-list@jaws-users.com> Sent: Tuesday, March 04, 2014 10:55 PM Subject: Re: [JAWS-Users] Easy Jaws Friendly Convert Program Hello Trish, Well, it can be done with VLC Media Player, but you need to be a bit clever setting it up.
