We have seen many different extension names when downloading audio files. But what does they stand for and have you ever wondered why bother to buy CD when you can download music online? Are you looking for a DVD to WAV converter? Well, you are looking at the right article now.
Part 1: Warm-Up Before Extracting WAV Audio off DVD
There are a few queries we need to figure out before we get into the instructions of how to extract audio off DVD:
What is WAV?
WAV is short for Waveform audio file, aka WAVE file, which is a common type of sound file. Microsoft and IBM introduced the format in 1991. It is used primarily in PCs and is identified by a file name extension of WAV (.wav). The Wave file format stores information about the file's number of tracks (mono or stereo), sample rate, bit depth, as well as the uncompressed raw audio data.
What players can be used to play WAV?
WAV can be played by nearly all Windows applications that support sound, such as windows media player, iTunes, Aegisub, etc. In addition, Leawo Free Blu-ray Player can be employed as a WAV media player.
Why do people convert DVD to WAV but not MP3?
The good thing about WAV file is that it could digitize sounds without audio quality loss. While its drawback is the file size. When it comes to music file, a WAV file can be way bigger than a MP3 file. However, the smaller file size means quality loss. Thus, music lovers still choose to store files in WAV for good sound quality. In addition, you can also use WAV to create other types of audio files, such as MP3.
Part 2: Two Ways to Extract WAV Audio off DVD

Watch Dogs 2 runs on the Disrupt game engine, which is developed by Ubisoft Montreal.
Since every game’s engine is different, so different tools and strategies are used to manipulate game’s source files.
In case of Watch Dogs 2, it’s data files have extensions of .dat and .fat types.
A DAT file is a generic data file created by a specific application. It may contain data in binary or text format (text-based DAT files can be viewed in a text editor). DAT files are typically accessed only by the application that created them. Many programs create, open, or reference DAT files.
Due to the Disrupt engine, these files can’t be extracted by any normal extractor or text editor.
To extract sound files from the .dat/.fat data files you will need some tools which i am linking references to:
- Watch Dogs 2 patch files (WD2 patch tools) -This will extract the .dat data file http://www.mediafire.com/file/8ai72rqji427mcn/WD2_patch_tools.zip
- .wem to .ogg converter – The extracted sound files will be in .wem format which are unplayable by any audio player in Windows. So you need to convert them to .ogg format which can be played by any audio player. https://1drv.ms/u/s!At8Z5w89AihZndkYb8tVxF3l5ldqBg
- .bnk to .ogg/.mp3 converter – Some sound files may get extracted to .bnk extensions. These are soundbanks, containing multiple .wem audio files.
- (Optional) I recommend using Resonic Player – It is a super fast and free audio player that will play the extracted files hassle-free.
Extracting sound files
First of all, copy the data file which you want to extract to have a backup in case of corruption. (e.g. copy sound.dat and sound.fat both from game’s directory to desktop.)
Now, put all the tools and the data files on the desktop.
drag and drop the sound.fat on WD2Extract.bat file. It would then extract the sound.dat file into a new subfolder named soundbinary in the sound folder.
At this point, you would now have a folder named soundbinary with many files having .wem extensions. As mentioned above, these can’t be played with any audio player. You would now need to convert these .wem files to something playable format like .ogg format.
To convert these .wem to .ogg format, you would need the converter linked above. First download the converter and extract it to desktop.
Copy the contents of the divinity_sound_converter to the soundbinary folder and then run divinity_converter.exe application.
After conversion, you would have all the converted files in the NUMBERED folder as all the .wem files are numbered. Those converted files should now be playable.
I am playing these files using the simple Resonic Player (beta).
And that’s it! You now have extracted sound files from the sound.dat file
Extract Date From Cell
NOTE – After extraction of different .dat files, many files will be of .bnk type, to extract these you would need .bnk to .ogg converter
