Is it possible to rip the audio from a DVD to then play on an iPhone?

Hi Debbie, first, are you using a mac or windows. I can't help much with mac, but if you are using a windows pc, there is a really good program called dvd audio extractor. It is pretty accessible. With this program you can even rip the extra features found on dvd's to audio like mp3. You get a thirty day trail period then you have to buy the program to contiue using it if you want. After you rip the dvd file to audio you can then use cdex to convdert them to mp3 and play the files on your iPhone. even better, you can just rip the dvd files to mp3 straight from the dvd audio extractor program. To avoid using the stupid iTunes, you can use a program called waltr 2, and waltr is the correct spelling of the program. The waltr 2 is available for mac and windows, but waltr 2 will put your mp3, m4a fiels into youriPhone music app for you. If you need or want help just let me know.

If you're using Windows, DVD Audio Extractor is quite definitely able to do everything you want. iTunes isn't only a website, it's an actual piece of software, and I don't like it very much, but then again this is from the Windows side of things. But yes, just have DVD audio extractor rip your dvd contents into mp3, and you can put the mp3s into dropbox. That'll do it!

Hi. Ok, the first thing you need to do is completely forget about using Windows media in any way shape or form, it's not going to help you and as you've seen, only causes frustration. Like we've mentioned before, there's a program called DVD Audio Extractor, and you can get it from the below link. <A HREF="http://www.dvdae.com">DVD Audio Extractor website</a>. Download and install the program and you can use it free for 30 days. To use it, put a dvd in your drive that you want converted. Then run DVD Audio Extractor and you'll be presented with the different titles available on the dvd. they'll be labeled as title 1, title 2, title 3, etc. Most times, title 1 which is the first one will be selected for ripping. So to choose which titles you want converted, just arrow up and down in the list and press the space bar on all the ones you want to be ripped. JAWS will tell you if they're checked or unchecked so this is a good thing. So go ahead and do that, and then find the next button and press the space bar. The next screen determines your format, and usually, mp3 is selected by default, so that should be ok. If you want to get fancy you can but mp3 works, so just make sure that's selected. All the other options are ok at their defaults, so hit that next button again. Next, you'll be asked where you want to save your outputted mp3s. you can choose the location where the program will place them or you can hit the browse button and find a folder yourself. So once you do that, click the next button once again and you'll be ready, so just press the space bar on the start button and your dvd will rip. it should take some time so just walk away for a while and check on it in a bit. Most dvd's I've seen take anywhere from 15 minutes to 45 minutes depending on how much is on each disc. That should be enough to get you going, though.

Hi. It sounds to me like all your files are going into the same folder. when you rip multiple dvd's, it's a good idea to change the output folder. you know in the process where it asks you where you want to store your mp3s? at that point, you can choose a different folder for each disc in the set. the way I do this is to mark them by disc number. so lets say I have a 3 disc set of an entire series. I know the first disc I rip is going to be disc 1. so when I rip that first disc, I make sure that all the mp3s go into the folder I have for the series called disc 1. so when i'm done with that disc, I create another folder for disc 2 and another folder for disc 3 and so on. That way, i'll have a folder for each disc in the set and i'll know what's what. I hope that makes sense!
