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.

I use WireTapPro to extract audio-- I play the movie and WireTapPro grabs the audio for me and puts it in MP3 format.

caribiner, i'll have to look into that.
shouldn't it also be possible to run something like audacity next to idvd (not full screen) and record as you've got something playing in idvd?
obviously you'd be doing it in 1:1 time, but if you only needed a part of the audio, this should work, right?

That's exactly what WireTapPro does, Eric: pulls the audio while you're playing whatever media (it works great for recording streaming media, too-- we've done a couple of our podcasts over Skype and used WireTapPro to capture the audio).
I've never tried using Audacity this way, so I don't know if that would work. I'm not sure if you can redirect the input to come from the system itself. The key to WireTapPro is that it hijacks the audio coming out of your sound card.

I just tried it with Audacity, and I couldn't find the settings (in Audacity, System Preferences, or Utilities -> Audio MIDI setup) to reroute the internal audio-out to the internal audio-in.
I imagine I could use a stereo mini-to-stereo mini cable in the jacks on the side of my MacBook, but I imagine there would be an impedance mismatch.
