Record from DVD?

I want to be able to put a DVD in the drive and have Sonar record the sound - how can I do that? Thanks - rev

It's the MOTU Traveler and it does have a Stereo Mix setting in its app. Sonar records nothing from the DVD using all the settings that work for creating a song. So I tried Audacity. I get a great recording with the mic but extremely low volume and poor quality from the DVD. I'm afraid of playing with the Audacity configuration because I don't want to upset settings in Sonar. (The AUDIO_TS folder on a DVD contains no files)

If anyone has specific instructions on how to get Sonar to do this, I'd very much appreciate it. System: * Asus P6T Mobo * Quad Core 3.33 Intel chip * 12 gig RAM * MOTU Traveler Audio Interface via Firewire Thanks - rev

It isn't so much in the software, but in the audio interface. This sort of thing is easy to do it if you have a mixer. What other audio interface do you have in addition to the Motu? Maybe you could make another audio device the default Windows playback device and plug the outut of that device into inputs of the Motu. I know it's not an elegant solution but the type of software, and the Moto interface, weren't designed with copying the audio off of cd's or dvd's in mind. I'm not sure what you mean by "Inputs 1 and 2 (that I'm listening to) are not recognized by Sonar in this context". What is connected to Inputs 1&2? What program are you using to play and listen to them?

I have an older MOTU 828 MkII with the older CueMix software. In order to capture what I'm hearing, I go to the File dropdown menu and select "CueMix Input Includes Computer Output".

Not including the main output by default is a good thing if you think about it.

I think the audio on DVD is encoded in a weird format, will try tonight at home. As that would be the best method. Just drag and drop the audio file. But What Dave just said is the fool proof method for systems that don't have "what you hear" recording option.

yes, sorry, I didn't think about that.  I don't record directly from a CD or DVD, I rip them to the hard drive first, then play those in WMP or whatever and record that.

When you rip a DVD with certain encoders , like say AVI, then the audio is converted to a MP3 type format, But I looked at some of my rips and they are the same, Embedded audio. 
Glad to hear that free software works,, sometimes you get lucky with Google. I'll bookmark it for later messing around. I have the Last waltz DVD ( The Band)  and wouldn't mind to just play the soundtrack.
