Best 4 Ways to Convert DVD to MP3

DVDs come in various genres, such as movie DVDs, music/concert DVDs, stand-up comedy DVDs, etc. Sometimes, besides watching DVDs at home, you may also want to listen to them on the go. The best way to achieve this is to convert DVD to digital audio formats such as MP3.

Today, many DVD ripping programs can help you convert DVD to MP3, but not all of them can bring satisfactory results. But don't worry. In this article, I will share 4 excellent DVD to MP3 converters to help you extract MP3 audio from DVDs on your Windows or Mac computer. Without further ado, let’s begin.

On Windows, WonderFox DVD Ripper Pro is the best DVD to MP3 software I have used so far.

It's safe, powerful, efficient, and easy to use. You can quickly convert a DVD to MP3 in just a few clicks. In addition, it allows cutting a portion of DVD and converting it to the target format. This software features incredible conversion speed while maintaining high quality. Moreover, thanks to its advanced decryption technology, it can handle almost all DVDs, whether copy protected or not.

Now, let’s learn in detail how to use the software to convert DVD audio to MP3.

Note that when you download WonderFox DVD Ripper Pro, you will be downloading its trial version, which limits you to a maximum of 15 minutes per DVD conversion. You need to purchase a license to unlock the limit. Currently, the 40% discount coupon is still valid.

That said, you can use the free version of the software WonderFox DVD Ripper Speedy to decrypt and convert DVD to digital video. Then, you can use Free HD Video Converter Factory to convert the digital video to MP3 without spending a penny.

Alternatively, you can try the following methods to convert DVD to MP3 for free. But remember that these free tools usually have limitations, and a big disadvantage is that they may not support your DVD due to copy protection.

If you want a free DVD to MP3 converter, VLC media player is a good choice. In addition to media playback features, it also provides a variety of multimedia tools, including a DVD converter. Thanks to its excellent format library, it can help you rip just the audio from DVD to any audio format you want. At the same time, it can also maintain high-quality output.

Since VLC is cross-platform, you can use it on both Windows and Mac computers to convert DVD to MP3. The conversion steps are largely the same.

Note: VLC may not work well with DVDs on Mac. In this case, first use HandBrake, a video transcoder designed for ripping DVDs. Afterward, you can use VLC to extract the audio from the DVD file ripped by HandBrake.

For Windows users, there is another free tool to convert DVD to MP3 audio format. The tool is called XMedia Recode. It is a free and open source video converter that is capable of various video and audio conversions, including Blu-ray and DVD. In the meantime, with FFmpeg under the hood, the tool can export files to any known audio and video format.

It is worth noting that with XMedia Recode, you can not only convert all the audio tracks of a DVD to MP3 audio intact, but also convert them by DVD chapters.

But remember that XMedia Recode can only convert unprotected discs. Therefore, if you have a DVD without encryption, such as a homemade DVD, just follow the instructions below to start the conversion.

You probably know that converting DVD to MP3 online is not possible. But there is a situation that your DVD has been stored on your computer as an ISO or VIDEO_TS folder from which you can get DVD VOB files. After that, you can upload the VOB to an online conversion service like FreeConvert, and then you can convert this DVD file to MP3.

It’s not as simple as the methods above, but it will eventually get the job done no matter what operating system you’re using.

Step 5: After conversion, click Download to save the MP3 audio to your device.

Want to listen to DVD audio? Using the methods described in this article, I believe you should have no problem converting DVD to MP3 for listening. These are all easy-to-use programs. However, for Windows users, I recommend WonderFox DVD Ripper Pro the most because it is the most professional and faster than other programs with better output quality. The only downside is that it does not have a Mac version. If you are using a Windows system, you can just download the software now and try out its features:
