New ways to rip audio from DVDs?

Previously I used the freeware program 0SEx (or, alternately, OSEx) to rip .VOB
files from concert DVDs, then used a52DECx (another freeware program) to convert
those .VOB files to .MP3s to listen to on my iPod or to burn to an audio CD.
Under OS 10.6, 0SEx is broken. a52DECx seems to work OK, though.
Anyone know of a solution? Freeware would be great, although I don't mind paying
for something. If I do purchase something, I'd prefer an all-in-one solution
that wouldn't require me running .VOB files through a52DECx, although I'm OK
with doing that if I have to.
TIA...

suggested. FmpepgX will convert to .mp3 audio (and others) in one pass,
an you can "turn off" the audio decoding:

It's a trifle clunky to work with, although you can use it without all
the silly mencoder options. If you can work with the command line, you
can fine tune this stuff very nicely with ffmpeg.

0SEx to rip the chapters into .VOB files, then a52DECx to convert them into .MP3
files.
0SEx seems to be broken under OS 10.6.8, which is why I'm looking for a new
solution.
I have an old copy of Mac The Ripper, but it reports bad sectors on a DVD that
plays perfectly using the DVD Player app.

Take the audio from a DVD and convert it, chapter by chapter, to an .MP3 or
other audio file.
Or, in the alternative, convert each chapter into a .VOB file that I can use
with another app to produce an audio file.

If you are truly excluding any solution that isn't a single-step rip
from DVD to audio, your options are going to be extremely limited. Seems
a silly thing to do to me, but to each his own. You can easily rip the
chapters to mp4 files using Handbrake (that's what it is designed to do,
and it excels at it), and then extract only the audio tracks from those
files with any number of utilities. You won't find a single menu command
in Handbrake to do the rip. You'll need to actually use your brain a
little. There are plenty of tutorials on the net. I'll leave finding

So, yes, this can do what the OP wants, but for some reason, he wants to
rip to .VOB files, which I don't think handbrake can do.
Once he's got .mkv files, extracting the audio can be done with QT Pro
or ffmpeg or any number of utilities.

No need to be so uptight.
I have not found Handbrake to be particularly user-friendly or intuitive. The
steps necessary to do what I want (strip the audio from a DVD) are not
self-evident, or if they are I have overlooked them.
Instead of being snarky, you might instead try pointing a user to the
appropriate menu commands.

use any number of mpeg editors to strip the video track and save the
audio track. As you've also already been told, there are numerous
tutorials online showing how to use Handbrake to rip DVDs. If you need
help with the rest, (for instance, choosing an editor to strip the video
track), just ask here.
Perhaps you want to learn about how to better ask for help? Simply
stating "I can't do it" isn't going to help those who are in a position
to help you figure out what you have tried and what you have not, which
can be key to helping you learn. If you can't be bothered to express
yourself in the form of a question sufficiently then why should anyone
else be bothered to pull teeth to get more information out of you to
help you?

"source." The very first line under the little icons (you know, those
picture things) says "Source:" followed by whatever "source" you chose.
The next line will give you a dropdown menu of "Titles," followed by a
dropdown menu of "Angles" (which you can ignore) and then (HELLO) a
dropdown menu starting with "Chapters" and then (HELLO) a couple of
dropdown menus letting you choose your range of (HELLO) "Chapters."
I don't see how it could be made any simpler. Do you need screenshots?
Or maybe that woman, I forget her name, Linda? Nancy? sells tutorial
videos, "I'm just going to go ahead and open my Applications folder ..."
and so on.
Although, I don't see how to stop it from transcoding the video. In
ffmpegX, you can turn the video transcode off.

Nevermind.
Something happened to cause me to have to restart my MacBook, and on a whim I
fired up 0SEx again, and it worked. Now I'm happily converting my Chicago "A&E
Live By Request" DVD to MP3 so I can either burn a CD or listen to the concert
on my iPod.

I have a bunch of DVD concerts, and often rip music from DVD to mp3 in legal way. So I am able to play mp3 on my iPod, iPad, etc.

For example, set output format as iTunes M4A, popular mp3, AAC, etc. And rip any segment from DVD concerts. It provides fast convert speed and fully supports dual core CPU.
