	Thanks. From just eyeballing the command, this would put all of the 
audio (from each video file) in one file, correct? I'm guessing there is 
probably a way to have this command put the audio into separate files? 
If not, I can always use Audacity to split it up.
	As far as flipping to mp3, I can do that other ways. Creating the wav 
file is just fine for me.
	I guess I'll be perusing the man page for mplayer..

	I've got the Thunderstruck III DVD (snowmobile mountain climbing). It's 
got some kick-a** songs, but some of the bands no longer exist.. Got to 
get those songs into my iPod somehow....
