Do you have PC or Mac?

With a sound recording program, you record the dvd. Here's how I do it. Position a 1/4 size window of the dvd in some corner of the screen. Have the dvd tool bar open somewhere also (the play, rew, etc.) Have a window of your sound recording program open in another area. Switch the dvd audio option to the score only track, hit record on your sound recorder, then hit play on the dvd. When the music stops, pause the dvd, stop the recorder and save the file as 01 (or whatever track it is) in a matrix folder as a wav file, then continue as before, building a file in numerical order. With a good sound recording program you can leave room at the front and end when recording and crop it out after. Then just burn the tracks to disc. MATT, email me your email address, and I can send you the software I use, called Sound Forge. It works great.

Congrats Matt,
I know you must have been dying waiting for that PC.
I still have about a month and a half to go.But when I'm finished building that baby,...watch out all you hackers (just kidding, I'm a good boy).Scotty

It also depends whether you're using an actual DVD Decoder card on your PC, or using software rendering to play your DVD's. I think if you record through your DVD decoder card , you get analog-quality recording (it actually depends on your hardware... some may transfer data to the soundcard digitally). If you use a software rendering DVD player (such as, say, QI Cinemaster or PowerDVD), you can record off that to get a full, digital recording, because the sound is being rendered directly on your sound card (therefore, no analog conversion). You can probably get "warez" copies of PowerDVD or Cinemaster from http://www.dvdutils.com/
