>> Step 1: Select the chapters you want to extract
  1. Insert the DVD you want to extract, and launch DVD Audio Extractor. The contents of the disc will be shown up automatically.

    By default, DVD Audio Extractor activates the first title and lists all its chapters. You can click on the title that you are interested to change the active title (). If there are more than one angle available on that title, click on the specific angle. The chapters of the selected title will be listed.
     
  2. Now click on the audio stream you want to use to select it ().
     
  3. (Optional) By default all the chapters on the first title is selected. To change your selection, click on the check box before each chapter ().
     
  4. (Optional) If you want, you can click on the chapter to change its name (). The name you entered will be used as the output file name. It will also be saved into ID3 tag, if you enable that later in step 3. 
     
  5. Now click on the Next button to proceed to next page ().
>> Step 2: Select which format you want to use for encoding
  1. Make sure that OGG/Vorbis is selected as output format ().
  2. (Optional) Now select the output sample rate you want (). The default sample rate used in DVD audio stream is 48000 Hz. So if you select 48000 Hz here, no resample operation will be taken. That means you can get the best quality and fastest extracting speed.
     
  3. (Optional) Select the output channel you want (). Stereo is good for general use but if you want to keep all the 6 channels, you can also select 5.1 Surround here.
     
  4. Now click on the Next button to proceed to next page ().
>> Step 3: Setup output file location and other setting

  3. (Optional) Select the option Overwrite files with the same name (). When not selected, suppose your have a selected chapter called "Chapter 01", and there is already a file "Chapter 01.ogg" in the output folder, then this chapter will be skipped.
     
  4. Select the option Create M3U playlist (). This is useful for playback all the extracted files later.
     
  5. (Optional) If you want, you can select Enable normalization and change the output audio level (). This is useful because DVD audios are usually recorded "too quiet". Just keep in mind that normalization will take additional processing time.
     
  6. (Optional) If you want, you can select Enable ID3 Tag () and enter information like Artist and Album name. Those information, as well as the Chapter name you entered, will be saved into the result files.
