I don't. It's one big file, like a tape, really. I need something to capture it off my video/audio card. Windows Movie Maker can't do this. I tried. Actually, you're misunderstanding me. I don't want the video at all. I want to capture the audio from the DVD, and only parts of it. I want to take individual songs and put them on a CD. You’re all assuming I have chapters. I don’t.

I am not near my usual collection of computers but DVD rippers should be easy to Google. They should be free or close to it. Now you need a video editing program that can import the video file (probably an MPEG) that you generated and then export it as an MP3 file. It is entirely possible that Windows Movie Maker can do this, and it is free if you have XP SP2. Other programs that might be able to do it would be products from Ulead, Sony and Serif - all of them make decent low-end editors but I cannot check their features from where I'm at, sorry. You do not want a video capture program, because the quality will be poor. You need two things: a DVD rip program, and a video editing program.

It's blazing fast, intuitive, and easy to use. Hard to believe it's from Microsoft and free, but it's true.
