Or you could play the DVD on your computer and record into Audacity (or whatever it is your using) that way.

You can do it my way...
Load DVD into VLC > Click convert/Stream > Convert file to .wav
You have the whole film in wav so you can listen opposed to watch..
Great for mp3 player when walking around

just jott down the time.

Can you do this with downloaded movies? If so how do I go about it? I tried the above and I can't seem to find the settings, any chance of a SS?

^ Hope this helps.
If you need anything re-explained after that video just say.
Heres some brief lines of what I did step by step.
Start convert/stream (Ctrl+R)
Select the file in File Selection.
Once done - click convert (or alt+c)
Select destination file (go browse,find where you want to save to, type in filename.wav, click save)
Check your audio codec settings; Wav isn't a default you have to set it.
Click Start.
disclaimer; please only do this for audio tracks you own the rights of or are using it for non-profitable activities.

Mac only, but this improves fidelity by avoiding two generations of digital conversion. And it's free.
