Extracting a portion of audio from a DVD
Jul 3, 2017 19:43:55 #
A few years ago, at a local concert, a song that I had written was performed. The concert DVD is about 1.5 hours long; my song is about 5 minutes long.
I want to extract just the audio of my song and save it to a CD and nothing else.
Any ideas as to how to do this?
I have Win 10.
Thanks.

What type of file(s) on the DVD? MP3? MP4? Wav? or? One large file or a number of smaller files?

Have a look at Audacity
http://www.audacityteam.org/
Open source and will read just about any audio file. Find the track you are after, hightlight it and use copy & paste. Very easy to use

Thanks to everyone. I will try each idea, if necessary. Being in early stage Alzheimers can be a challenge in itself.

I have the same problem trying to pull a particular song out of a concert. A friend converted the previously taped concert to a CD but because of crowd noise between songs, it just shows up as a single, 1-hour MP3 track. Can this software figure out where one song ends and another begins?

There is a free program called VLC which is a video player. Install it , go to the view tab and select advanced tools. This will add a record button at the bottom with the player controls. Then it is very easy to record the segment you want. I hope this helps you.

Hey thanks for the tip. I downloaded the iMac version of VLC and while it doesn't seem to have the advanced tools tab under view, I was able to find a "record" feature under a playback tab. Her's a screenshot. So if I hit "recored while it's playing the selection of the track I want, it'll create a new file I can save? Love the equalizer feature, too.

Yes it does on my windows 10 version. It saved directly to my video folder. I am not familiar with the Mac version. I would expect it to be similar.
