    I ended up using DVD Audio Extractor to rip the tracks to MP3, and then Audacity to cut up the MP3.

    DVD Audio Extractor:
    http://www.castudio.org/dvdaudioextractor/

    You can find various DVD to MP3 rippers here:

    And Audacity is here:
    http://audacity.sourceforge.net/

    I recommend NOT using the beta version of Audacity - it may be missing many of the features that exist in the "stable" release.

    Ok, for an audio editing program, I would suggest using Audacity http://audacity.sourceforge.net/ . To record a sound from a video, or anything that makes sound on your computer, here are some sites that might be helpful. http://www.roemersoftware.com/free-sound-recorder.html

    Other than that, I guess you'll have to look for yourself.

    I ran into this exact problem a few months ago when I joined a gym. My wife gave me an MP3 player so I could listen to music of my choice rather than the crap they have on the overheads at the gym. Having hundreds of CD and DVD discs, I wanted an easy way to rip tracks to MP3. My computer came preloaded with Roxio CD software, so I figured I would try that first. I opened Roxio, put in a CD, and a box popped up asking me if I wanted to rip the tracks and store them on my computer. I clicked yes, and it asked me whether I wanted to save them as MP3 or WMA files. I must say that it was a lot easier than I expected it would be. I have done the same with audio DVDs, but haven't tried it with video DVDs.

    You need a decoder for the DVD format the music is in. Unless the format is DivX -- it's probably something you'll have to buy. The only other options are to record from your computer's audio out -- or use an "audio recorder" such as audacity, mentioned in another answer.

    Audacity is a sound editing program, it will create a huge file of the recorded audio, you can split/mix/edit then save as an MP3.

    I am not sure- maybe windows will do it.
    I found two or three pay programs a couple of days ago that will rip out only the audio- into wma files.

    Did you try dragging the files from your disk to a folder on your drive? Why would mp3s on a DVD need to be "ripped?" What type of DVD is this?

    A technique I use if all else fails... play the audio and record "wave out"

    Since it never gets converted from digital to analog, there should be little or no signal degradation, certainly less than converting to MP3.

    The downside is that it takes a whole hour to rip 60 minutes of audio.

    On Windows Vista most old-style recording software doesn't work without Stereo Mix feature.
    Try this recorder for Windows Vista/7 http://www.abyssmedia.com/isound7/
