Concert DVD ripping

Here is a simple method to easily rip your concert DVD (DVD‐Video) into chapter split playable audio files. For this you will need only one tool : DVD DECRYPTER.

You will change the IFO Mode and Stream Processing settings of DVD Decrypter so that each time you want to rip a new DVD, you only need to choose your target folder and press the rip button.

SETTINGS

File Splitting settings is mandatory or you won’t get one sound file per song, so your rip will be unusable. The other settings can be omitted but you will need to do many manual tasks each time you want to rip a new DVD.

Tools menu > Settings…

IFO Mode tab

  • Check Enable Stream Processing
  • Select File Splitting: By Chapter

Stream Processing tab

  • Check Convert PCM to WAV
  • Direct Stream Copy: EMPTY
  • Demux: 0XA? 0X8?
  • Raw: EMPTY

It means remove * from default settings Direct Stream Copy as we don’t want to save video.

0XA? means that you want to extract LPCM audio (i.e. WAV files), it’s lossless stereo audio (best).

0X8? means that you want to extract AC3 files (it’s lossy, it’s more than stereo, it requires software like foo_ac3).

RIPPING

  1. Insert your DVD
  2. Switch to IFO Mode (press I key)
  3. Check, in the Input tab, that the concert (usually the biggest title) is selected
  4. Check the Stream Processing tab and make sure the audio you want is selected in Demux mode and that no video is to be ripped
  5. Choose a destination folder on your PC
  6. Press the Rip button (DVD → HDD)
