Personally, what I do is rip the dvd with DVD Decrypter, the switch to DVD
Lab to extract the separate video and audio streams, then use either headac3he
or Media Studio Pro to convert the ac3 to a wav. Then Cool Edit to edit if
necessary. CDRwav to cut the tracks. But not all of these are free.
The above linked guide is for a free program which will do it for you.
