I don' think so.  There are, however, other programs which can extact audio from a DVD.  May I suggest Handbrake?

do you need to extract a conversation or music or what?

if i remember correctly vlc can do that

other dvdrip programs can do this when creating a avi with multiple audio channels

there is many options to do this but you will have to explore each tool and see the capabilities each one offers

If the DVD is not encrypted then I would expect yes .....  I would try Konvertible .....  if encrypted then I would expect it would need to be decrypted first.

if it is a dvd, with menus and everything the usual procedure is use k9copy or k3b to create a iso

the iso is a complete copy of the dvd file structure

once created some apps will be able to work with it

other apps will accept that you copy the folder called VIDEO_TS on that dvd and use the files contained there, the AUDIO_TS usually comes empty or not used

about the vhs part, sometimes a person can use a tv capture card and software to directly produce a dvd video from any content but other people just capture the vhs and burn a mpeg or a avi file on a cd or dvd, what do you see when you open the disc?

> Open the DVD from the drive in Avidemux, as if to Copy or Convert.

> Once opened, check the type of Audio - AC3, AAC, PCM, etc - by clicking the Blue "i" button on the bar. Then go to Audio on the bar, and click 4th down, "Save".

> In the window that opens, path and name the audio - "mymovie.ac3", etc, using the audio type extension.

> Save the Audio to desired Destination.

> Convert it to FLAC or WAV.

> Open in Audacity, find the part(s) you want, Select each, and File > Export Selection.

> In the dialog that appears, choose desired format and quality level, name the File with that extension...

> Export to desired Destination.


> Wherever it's legal to do so - Opening in Avidemux and Saving Audio is a good way to extract the Audio from Y'Tube and similar videos. Choose the "Large" FLV (actually often now H264) - or MP4s. The Audio is often AAC-etc, not MP3.

> Convert the AAC-etc as above.

> To Trim the Starts and Finishes - open in Audacity and Select the Desired Audio.

> To get lead-in and lead-out, trim a bit wider, then Select X-seconds of lead-in. Select "Fade-In" on the Effects Menu, and set the audio-slope you need. For lead-out, use "Fade-Out" on Effects Menu.

> When trial-play shows the functions required, Select from beginning of lead-in to end of fade-out - and Export Selection in the format and quality preferred.

I would expect you should have been able to extract the audio from a home made DVD without having to copy it to your PC.

Konvertible is the first I would try
PACPL gives a right-click menu option which should also do this.

I installed all you suggested, still I got the same error message.If I installed task multimedia , why do I still get the error message? \/ Thanks for your involvement in my quest to separate audio from a dvd iso image.

Yes, I tried Avidemux, and handbrake , I didn't see audio separation as I did with k9copy. I also have a problem using lives video editor, a similar audio error comes up, strange even if I check no audio.if I want just audio I get an error, If I just want video, I get an error,both relating to an audio error.

Audio extraction can be done very quickly and easily without having to open the file or import into it any program.
Just install 'audiokonverter' from Synaptic.
Then right click on the video file -> Actions > extract audio to > (take your pick of whatever audio format you want)
