More and more audio CD are sold together with a DVD video containing bonus tracks. I want to rip only the audio part of those videos using a losseless audio codec, ideally flac for me.

Is there an easy way to rip audio tracks from a DVD video in flac?

Note : my question is specifically about flac encoding, I don't think it should be marked as a duplicate of question How do I rip audio from a DVD?. Moreover the answers of the previous question are not really relevant in my case.

Audacity

  1. Install Audacity: sudo apt-get audacity
  2. Then, play your DVD with the player you want (VLC, Totem, ...), be sure that it uses Pulse Audio for output
  3. In Audacity, record the sound from Pulse Audio in a stereo track
  4. Edit if necessary (face in, fade out) and export it as flac.

There is other ways. For example, you can use jackd and Ardour, if you want to record separate tracks for every 5.1 channels '6 tracks) and mix them.

VLC

  1. Open your DVD with VLC
  2. Select the chapter you want to rip
  3. In options, choose the audio output -> file and select the kind of file you want (flac)
  4. Click play
  5. VLC will write the file
