Re: [PLUG] Sound clip from DVD?


I use sox and cron to record audio from a radio hooked directly into my soundcard (cheap audio Tivo). It works really well and can be piped into notlame for one step MP3 recording of live audio. I'm not at that machine so I don't have the scripts I use but if you look at the man pages for sox it's pretty easy to use. It also doesn't eat a lot of system resources.

If you have a full duplex sound card and the driver you're using supports it this is the easiest way to go. The quality will be fine. I'm not sure if 2 seperate apps can access the sound card at the same time though. You may even be able to tell sox to use your sound output device in /dev as its input but I'm not sure. Just some thoughts.

You can get sox here if your distro doesn't have it  http://sox.sourceforge.net

I own a copy of "The Great Race."  One of the running gags in it is that
when Jack Lemmon (as Professor Fate) says to Peter Falk (as lackey Max),
"Press the Button, Max!" deranged things happen.

I want to get a sound clip of "Press the Button, Max!" from the DVD, but
achieving that is trickier than I thought.

Can anyone tell me how to save a section of my DVD's audio track as a wav
file I can edit?  Thanks in advance.
