Can I Rip Audio from DVD with Handbrake?

Handbrake is a free and open-source tool to convert virtually all kinds of videos (including DVDs), it supports the video conversion on Windows, macOS and Linux. You may be wondering if you can rip audio from DVD with Handbrake.

Well, the answer is NO. You cannot convert DVDs to audio format with Handbrake, therefore, it is no way to rip audio from DVD using this tool. Handbrake only allows users to saved DVDs or other videos as MP4 and MKV, not any audio format.

Also, I have tried another way to rip DVD audio with Handbrake by adding extension .mp3 to the file name of output video, however, it won’t work, the created MP3 file can be opened, but cannot played, there is just noise saved in the MP3 file.

Can I Rip Audio from DVD with Windows Media Player?

Also, there is a part of users wonder if they can rip DVD Audio with Windows Media Player, the free program to play media files coming with Windows OS.

However, Windows Media Player doesn’t support ripping audio from DVD.

It allows to burn and rip CDs. Even, users can burn DVDs using this program, but are not allowed to rip video or audio from DVD, for the reason of copyright protection.Meanwhile, the latest Windows 10 doesn’t contain Windows Media Player anymore, what’s more, there is no official download offered for users anymore. That’s to say, it becomes harder and harder for users to burn or rip CDs with Windows Media Player.

Conclusion

It is true that there are free DVD audio extractors available to rip DVD audio for free, but if you want to rip audio from DVD easily and successfully, a professional DVD ripper program is necessary. For Mac users, iFunia Video Converter worth a try, while for Windows users, Winx DVD Ripper is a good choice. So, what’s your choice?
