Is there a way to capture all the sound that places through my sound card at a given time and record it? I have a dvd with a certain vob that for some reason mplayer and mencoder is having trouble extracting the full audio from,but if i play it using xine i hear all the audio and have no problem. (mplayer i can't get to the root menu of the dvd). So is there a program or way i can capture the sound as it play through my sound card and record it with little or no loss of quality?

Im not sure as to your original question .. there problaby is, but I dont know how.

As far as mencoder goes though -- what -oac options are you using?

So youre trying to extract audio from one of the DVD chapters/titles that is a menu, is that right?

Sometimes, mp3lame is a bit flaky .... try -oac lavc to see if that works, or -oac pcm

yes that is what i am trying to do. I found the vob so i was inputing the vob into mplayer but could not get ti to read the entire thing. What is the exact syntax you suggest i try to use?

Well in this example, lets say you have filename.vob. You want to encode it to divx5 video and mp2 audio (just to keep the commands simple) and create filename.avi.
