Someone in this thread asked about ripping the soundtrack of their music
dvds to mp3 for their ipod. The above command is basically how you would
do that. First do 'mplayer -dumpaudio -dumpfile ./dump.out' on the title
and then run the resulting file through tcextract with '-x mp3' instead
of '-x ac3'. Something like:
tcextract -i dump.out -x mp3 >big.mp3

Presto, a big mp3 to kick the tar out of your ipod battery ;-)
