How to Copy DVD to MP3

DVDs have audio tracks you can convert to MP3 after you get the video file.

The video file on DVD, which is often in VOB format, also has an audio component. When converting a DVD video to MP3, you need to "rip" the video file to your computer first. Then, you can convert the video file to MP3. Both of these tasks can be accomplished with different free programs available online. This can be a useful process to go through if there's an audio part on a DVD that you really like that you want to listen to on your MP3 player.
