Im not too sure if this is actually possible.. so i thought i'd ask to see if it can and if so, how to go about it.

I have a dvd which i brought a while ago and i want to extract a portion of the audio ( actually a song on the dvd ) and save it as its own audio file ( mp3, wav etc ). Is it actually possible to do? If so does anyone know how to do it?

You can download Audacity, set it to record wave, play the movie on your computer, and record, you can edit the audio file later and export it into an .mp3

Or you can just look up the song, its probably around somewhere...

I dont download music so "looking for the song" it out of the question. Ill do what you suggested, thankyou =]

Rip and demux with VirtualDub.

After spending half an hour of computer freezes and the stupid program simply not responding i give up. Screw it.

find the song/clip on youtube and use vixy converter

What was it you said to that guy who wanted to do something vaguely illegal. Oh yeah...you don't deserve it.

You own the DVD, your not legally allowed to rip the audio track. If you can't afford to buy it, you don't deserve it.

Whats the difference between ripping audio from a dvd and downloading it?

Wait i thought i could legally extract audio from a dvd? I legally purchased it and thus i have the right to watch or listen to it, right? Now all im doing is segmenting a part of the dvd. I wasn't trying to claim the audio as my own but rather listen it at will. I naturally assume thats a legal thing to do?

And if i could find the audio track in stores i would buy it in all honesty. I buy all my cds and i have actually been looking for this cd for a long time now >_>

Just like its illegal to create a copy of a DVD that you own. Its illegal to do what your suggesting.

oh, i didn't know that. I guess it was a good thing after all that it didn't work.

Could i perhaps find out what song you are looking for?

In the anime "Tales from EarthSea" there is a song that the main character sings. I dont know what it would be called but its just a lovely song

Tales of the Earthsea is the alternative title of Gedo Senki. A quick search in Gendou gives you one song: Teru no Uta by Aoi Teshima. I'm not sure if that's the song you're looking for but from your short description, it fits it. I checked Wikipedia and one of the voice actors is Aoi Teshima, who plays the female protagonist.

If you had Linux, you could start your DVD playing. Open a console and type a simple command when the song comes on, and CTRL-C when the song is done. Then you have a .wav file of the song.

The linux distros there are VERY easy to install. You don't install them to a hard drive, but to a USB thumb drive or similar. It pretty much is just: download a zip file, extract it, run a batch file, and reboot.

Then when you're in Linux, play the DVD, open a terminal, and type the following:

1.) mount (notice a line similar to /dev/sda1 on /mnt/sda1, or /dev/sde1 /mnt/sde1)
2.) cat /dev/dsp >> /mnt/sda1/mysong.wav (or /mnt/sde1 or similar)
3.) Hit CTRL+C when the music is done.

The sound should be on your thumb drive ready to use back in Windows.
