Extracting Audio from DVDs

So I'm trying to find a way to extract the music track from a dvd. Is this possible? Or am I incorrect in thinking that DVD's have a separate 'track' for speech, music, sound effects, etc. I have found a slew of DVD "Audio Ripping" software, but all of it seems to crash just about immediatly. Anyone got any ideas?

Thanks!
 
They don't have seperate tracks for speech/music/effects but you can still exact the audio but the only way I know how is by first ripping the DVD and then using Besweet to extract the audio from the DVD rip but I've only done this with DVDs that have been converted into Xvids.
 
Well that answers that. Bummer. I guess there just really is no way to get some music :( Thanks anyways.
 
DVDs normally don't have a separate 'music' track, but if you really want to extract the audio, rip the dvd to your hard drive and then use dgindex to either demux the track (to create an ac-3 file) or 'decode to wav' for a raw file.

Well can just use Acid Pro to record the part I want..but you know, it has all the other movie noise in it - dialog, sound effects, stuff like that.

So just out of curiosity, how does 5.1 audio work if there arent separate tracks? Or are there just 5.1 tracks that encompass everything, and regular tracks. What makes me ask is one time I remember when I couldnt figure out what was wrong with a dvd playing at my friends house; the music was coming through perfect, but there was no dialog. Turned out there was a loose cable that somehow did that.
 
or you could just use a program like cooledit pro in the background of whatever dvd program you're using and set it to record from the stereo source in windows.

The separate tracks are Front Left, Front Right, Rear Right, Rear Left, Center, Sub - not tracks like a music studio. Your friend probably had the center speaker unplugged, which handles most of the speech.

DVDs can have more than one 5.1 track on them though (like a foreign language track) so it's possible for a dvd to have a track with only the score, but it would be the Studio's choice.
