Ripping audio from a DVD?

Hi, my boss had this brilliant idea of having some of the sounds of a DVD that was produced for one of our meetings in his next ppt presentation. Does anyone have any recommendations on how to do it? I need it to work on Windows (so I'm guessing ripping into WAV would be best) for, ahem, Powerpoint 97. :eek: (I know, I know) Any ideas or tips on this are deeply appreciated. :D

The fastest way to pull this off on a mac is to fire up Audio Hijack, and hijack DVD Player. You then just play the bit you want and it goes straight to disk.

This is how I got the Macgyver theme song as my ringtone. :)

Cranking

Merlin used to crank. He’s not cranking any more.

This is an essay about family, priorities, and Shakey’s Pizza, and it’s probably the best thing he’s written. »
