hello folks, i'm trying to figure out the most efficient way to "extract" video AND audio from a DVD that I put into my mac. I use "mac the ripper" to get the video (VOB file) but when I open that file (using QTpro) I don't get any audio. same thing when i import that vob file directly into Final Cut Pro...just video, no audio. i know that I'll be needing to do a lot more ripping (extracting) video files from dvd in the near future so i'd love to nip this whole process in the bud... any hints? what's the best workflow here. thanks for any tips.
