Well I have kind of answered this before...
Topic: Audio Extraction Software
...but that's okay as I have changed some of my methods since then
Remember, what I do is a result of years of fiddling and informal learning, but here it is!
1- Purchase the DVD desired
2- Need a DVD-ROM drive on the computer
3- I now use the program
DVD Audio Extractor (is that straightforward or what?), settings include divide by chapter for easy retrieval and format uncompressed WAV
4- Using Cool Edit 2000 I open up a chapter at a time and edit down to the quote I want. Details like fading in/out and more advanced tools come with practice and reading the help file!
5- I save the final file in full stereo and then change it to mono for online use (creates half the file size for downloading and for vocal stuff the difference is not noticeable)
That's it!
Of course Adobe Audition is the current successor to Cool Edit 2000 so congrats on your new software. I am actually going to be able to begin using Audition at work soon for a project involving digitizing old cassette tapes and look forward to see what's new.
To learn more about audio tracks and DVDs in general I highly recommend
