I'd like to rip tiny parts of DVD audio for personal use (no copyright infringement so MPAA go $%#^ off)... like to make wav files for a desktop theme. Anyone know of a good program? I looked at dvd::rip but it seems geared towards ripping entire chapters and saving as movies.

I cant think of a way to rip a small section exclusively so I would do this:
mplayer dvd://1 -vc null -vo null -ao pcm -waveheader -aofile dvd.wav
Which would rip it all to a (large)wav. Then I would use sox to trim it, you might want to use something more intuitive.

For a theme? I'd just use a simple ole' recorder that can "Rip what you hear" type thing. MY creative sound card came with a spiffy one, but I don't know what other ones there are.

Sorry about not following this up with my results...
Well, I couldn't find a "play what you hear" recorder :(
I ended up working with mplayer. There is a command line switch that lets you start playing from a time index, and you can stop it with the "Q" key. Only problem is, you need to do the recording with no audiable cues.
It's not too bad though and I cut down the wav files even further with kwave (which also let me do nice things like fadeout, fadein, etc.). Encoding in Ogg-Vorbis cut the file size down by a factor of 10 for a couple of really long clips (I got a little carried away when I got into it).
Thanks guys. (http://smile.gif)

DVD2AVI - best solution. You'll get all the audio you want in a wav file.
