• The Mac-Forums Community Guidelines (linked at the top of every forum) are very clear, we respect US law and court precedence when it comes to legality of activity.

    Therefore to clarify:
    • You may not discuss breaking DVD or BluRay encryption, copying, or "ripping" commercial, copy-protected DVDs.
    • This includes DVDs or BluRays you own. Even if you own the DVD or BluRay, it is still technically illegal under the DMCA to break the encryption. While some may argue otherwise, until the law is rewritten or the US Supreme Court strikes it down, we will adhere to the current intent of the law.
    • You may discuss ripping or copying unprotected movies or homemade DVDs.
    • You may discuss ripping or copying tools in the context that they are used for legal purposes as outlined in this post.

Hey guys. I have some Avi files that I want to rip the audio off and convert to mp3 for my ipod.

Can someone recommend a good program to do this? I would prefer a freeware or shareware file. but whatever is easy to use is the primary feature.

I wouldn't mind being able to mix the newly created mp3 file with an existing one to create my own if possible but that is secondary to actually being able to rip the audio from the movie.

Thanks in advance.

Welcome to Mac Forums Dakkon ...... very resourceful place .....

There is Audio Hijack Pro and here is a little write up about it .....


Ever wanted to record a song from the internet but just didn't have the right tool? Audio Hijack Pro can do that for you. Even better it can record literally any sound from any application or piece of hardware connected to your Mac.

Every piece of audio you grab is saved in the recording bin list. You'll find that Audio Hijack Pro has a quick record function and also lists preset recordings for specific applications like Safari, Skype, iTunes or iChat. It's very easy to add new ones and this really automates the recording process.

You can schedule automatic recording at precise days and hours of the week for each application. Audio Hijack Pro also lets you enter metadata, although it all has to be done manually (I didn't see an import feature), which is a little tedious.

Cheers

Audio Hijack apparently only records sound not the video

I think the OP was only after audio features..... may be mistaken.

Have a look at Audacity for your mixing/editing once you have stripped the audio out.
