audio help [how to convert AC3 to WAV?]

I've ripped my dvd to get the vob files and all...

I am currently using DVD2AVI as a conversion. But I've wanted to get the audio along with the file since I wanted to experiment with voices and music. Would there happen to be a program that converts the audio along with the video?

Assuming you did in fact include one or more of the audio streams when you ripped the VOBs, DVD2AVI should be able to demux the stream of your choice to a .WAV file when you save a project. It's in the audio options -- change the track number to something other than "None".

yeah I had done all that, the problem was the fact that they are in AC3 and I need to convert AC3 into wave files somehow/

Easy man, if you read Read <a href=http://www.a-m-v.org/guides/avtech31/>ErMaC & AbsoluteDestiny's Friendly AMV Guides</a> you'd know that BeSweet can transcode from AC3 to MP3 or WAV directly. Considering that movies made from DVD-rips typically have MP3 audio thats like 160 or 192 kbps VBR, you can do it all in a couple of simple clicks.

AC3 is the Dolby Digital format.

In DVD2Avi select Decode in audio ---> output method.

BeSweet works fine. Or you can try the <a href="http://www.dbpoweramp.com">dBPowerAMP Music Converter</a> (also known as the dMC)
