DVD-A Vulnerable to Ripping

[WmAx]

Finally, DVD-A data can be ripped. The process has yet to be packaged into an efficient and user-friendly system[in fact, you have to do some 'jumping through hoops'], but the tools are now available to do the job[of getting an unencrypted digital stream saved to hard disk].

Here is a discussion on the issue/tools[starting near the end of the following linked page]:

Note:I can not link to the tools on audioholics.com directly, due to legal issues. But you can find the tools if you read the linked thread.

Personally: When a stream lined process is available[should not take too long at this rate] I can use these tools to rip the higher quality[so far as mastering compared to many CD masters] data and then downconvert it to 44.1/16, then convert to MP3 for use on my MP3 player.
