How to Rip audio stream from a MPEG

[jip]

Anyone know of a good freeware/shareware utility to rip part of a sound track out of a recorded show?

Thanks in advance.

Here's a link where you can find various editors, demultiplexers etc. Many are freeware. If you are just working with the simple Mpeg generated by the common encoders (like ATI AIW, Hauppauge, etc) that only have one video stream and one audio stream (usually stereo) then any utility with a demultiplex option should do the trick. If you are talking about multi-track commercial DVDs, then you might need something fancier. (like a ripper application)

One very simple freeware application that I use often to adjust bit rates is ReJig. It's very simple and also has a demultiplex option. (and is free) I don't know if ReJig is on that web site. If not do a google search for it. Otherwise there's a lot to choose from at the following web site.

I was just trying to do this same thing just now and figured out that I can play the mpg files in winamp and set the sound output to disk writer, and not only will it write the audio straight to mp3, it will also play it faster than normal so it doesn't take very long! Awesome, hope this helps someone. I'm using the old winamp v2.91, not sure if you can do this on the newer one but you probably can.

Awesome. I forgot I had posted this, but I will try your winamp solution!
