Is there a program that will put the sound from a dvd onto an audio cd?
 
Are you referring to a movie DVD? If so you can rip it to VCD format and it'll fit on a CD.

If you want to make a music CD from a movie DVD, it'll require a audio rip from playback. I'm not quite sure if there's software available, or how to do that.
 
I've done it with the freeware Musicmatch. Just select your soundcard as the input source for recording. Not a great copy as the freeware version is limited to 128 bps. I'm sure other tools could do it and do it better. Then burn the CD version.

Thats it. I'm wanting to make a music cd from a concert dvd.
 
If you have a newer Creative sound card, you can use the recorder included in the software. Select "What you hear", and it'll record the audio just as you hear it into a .wav file. From there you can convert it to .mp3 or burn it onto a CD or whatever you want.

Yep, I used Musicmatch jukebox to rip a metallica DVD the same way your are saying...

I ran the red and white output on the home DVD player to the Line in jack on my sound card, set capture to Line in and hit record and it recorded it straight to mp3... worked great...
 
I'm sorry but if you want to really get DVD sound to a CD and preserve as much quality as you can, you'd have to use a better solution. Doing the whole output to input jack solution is a last resort hackjob and IMO only marginally better than you playing the dvd on your TV and using a mic to record to to your computer.

1. Rip the DVD.
2. Take the audio track and process it.
3. Check to see if the audio track is more than 80 minutes. Chances are it is.
4. Find a logical place to split it. Hopefully it's a concert with predefined stop/go areas, such as interludes or space between songs.
5. Split it and record each part on a CD.

Enjoy.
