Is there a Linux app that can rip the audio track of a dvd to mp3
format?

mp3 is a propriatary format, encumbered by patents in a number of
countries. The patent owner has allowed decoders to be used for free, but
restricts encoders. Thus the use of an mp3 encoder may infringe patent law
in your country.
However assuming this has been taken care of, under Linux the primary
encoder is a program called lame. (Lame Ain't an Mp3 Encoder).
So convert the dvd tracks to something like a .wav file, and then feed that
through lame.

Unfortunately, those Google hits haven't helped. The most likely app,
dvd::rip, aka perl-Video-DVDRip doesn't install because of dependency
bugs:

# yum install perl-Video-DVDRip
:
Error: Missing Dependency: libcdio.so.5 is needed by package vcdimager
Error: Missing Dependency: libiso9660.so.4(IS) is needed by package
vcdimager

and I don't have time to resolve the dozens of dependencies that would
be involved if I tried to build the source or to figure out how to use
mplayer. I guess I'll complain to the freshrpms maintainer.

too bad, "i want this and that but i do not have the time", great!

complain? really? He/Her/They is/are not responsible for your
installation and obviously other users do not have your problems if you
seek at google ;-). But without time, you will never end in a glory ;-)

complain about what? He/Her/They is/are not responsible for your

If you had the time you could dissolve the depencies easily.

This is the _fourth_ followup I have seen from you to this
posting. Is your followup really _that_ important? 1/2 :-)

Mplayer can rip the audio to wav format, then you can run it through an
mp3 encoder after that. The command-line options for mplayer are
extensive and I had to track down the right ones through Google:

mplayer -dvd://1 -chapter s-e -vo null -ao pcm -aofile out.wav

Replace s and e with the starting and ending chapters you want to rip;

This mostly worked for me except that one "chapter" seemed to put mplayer
into an infinite loop. So I used xine -A file for that.
