eac3to Blu-Ray ripping -- can I split audio by chapters?

[Joe A]

I am trying to rip an audio track off of a Blu Ray disc. I can do
this, but the entire soundtrack is extracted as a single file. I
would like to split the audio up by chapters (this is a concert disc
and has chapter marks at each song).

I'm hoping I don't need to go in by hand and split the file up, but I
can't find an option in eac3to to automaticallly create a new file at
the chapter marks.

Can someone help me out?

Since nobody had a solution, here's what I did:

I did get the soundtrack extracted in one large file. This same thing
happened to me trying to get a DTS 96-24 track off a DVD.

The easiest solution is to convert to something like FLAC, and then
make a CUE file (the format is easily found in Wikipedia, etc.)
putting the track markers in by time code. Feed this cue file to
Foobar, and then convert, and you've got your tracks.

I have not yet experimented with eac3to. Curious? Is it a player also? If so
does it handle DVD-A?

Thanks

Nice to hear a mention of eac3to here, it's an amazing tool which I cannot
praise highly enough. It can do an incredible amount of things with audio
formats, blu-ray ripping and much more. E.g. converting MLP into
FLAC/WAV/Dolby Digital/DTS, decoding HDCD wavs into 20-bit wavs, and so much
more I don't know where to start. And it's constantly updated with so many
things, it's on the cutting edge and adds more codecs/functionality every
week by the looks of it.

I know that there's a more elegant solution within the eac3to options than
that. Best to ask on the official thread at doom9, just google "eac3to" and
you'll find it.

Not a player, a converter
rip your dvda using dvd-audio explorer (store) to create a mlp file
eac3to file.mlp file.flac
will get you a flac ... play back with your choice of player
