File Extraction

I know the title is a little vague but I wasn't sure what to say. I'm looking for any programs that can rip or get access to the audio and/or video within games. I have found one possible product but even it has had little if any success.

 

There's not just one program to do that, all games use their own kind of video and audio, so the programs are always case sensitive. Hardly any game has a/v that is directly playable. Only psp games use the same format on videos (.pmf, playstation media format).

 

It seems as if most current games compress their files in .cab archives. WinRAR should work.

 

Well yeah, the install files, but we're talking about a/v here.

 

That isn't true. Doom 3 (after installation) is nothing but .cab files.

 

Well it's just one game.

 

Actually, it's most recent games. (ie, made with the Doom3 physics/graphics engine)

 

Well there is a program called Dragon UnPacker that can look for different file formats within others that are not very well known but so far I've had little success with it being accurate(as in it usually brings up files in for example .mov format but they're not working files.). I've heard of another that can get things like sound that are otherwise inaccessible within cds in general (as opposed to just games) but I can't remember the name of it). Most files I've found aren't full of .cab files unfortunately and even then what is inside these files, more obscure file formats or more easily recognised ones, for Doom 3 I mean?
