PS: Need it for Windows - not Apple.

Use a program like AppGeeker to rip the DVD to a .mp4 format that you can work with Serato.

The issue that first comes to mind is that in general, DVDs have poor sound quality. Best bet is to remux the audio from a high quality source.

@DJ DisGrace: The most music video DVDs I have are stored with PCM. Beside that I want to keep the file as the best available quality from the source (whatever the quality is). It is for archiving. And if the sound is not good enough I will do the extra work and remux it. But I want to avoid this for hundreds of videos.

@Megivern: Thanks for the program. Almost all ripper can create the container .mp4.

The special question is:

With which Windows program can I create a .mp4 container with mpeg-4 video codec and a lossless audio codec?

Serato can play ALAC from a pure audio track (.m4a) without any problem:

Format : ALAC
Codec ID : alac
Codec ID/Info : Apple Lossless Audio Codec
Duration : 6mn 22s
Bit rate mode : Variable
Bit rate : 886 Kbps
Channel(s) : 2 channels
Sampling rate : 44.1 KHz
Bit depth : 16 bits

So I am sure Serato plays the video with the lossless audio codec too.

However - a DVD/BLR ripper who supports this would be required. :-)

That is much less relevant than you might think.

PCM doesn't matter much if it's poorly-mastered (which the vast majority of music DVD's are, regardless of encoding). And then there's the issue of skits/breaks in the audio, fairly common in music videos and almost always not acceptable for club play.

The number of music-video DVD's I've run across with acceptable sound quality is very very small.

If you're talking about compilation DVD's from one particular service I know of that uses PCM audio, then you are dealing with an issue with large ugly titles and inferior video (and quite often, not-so-great audio).

These are why many (most?) video DJ's are using the on-line services...it's a hell of a lot easier, and you get better results (with the good services).

Finally: I'm a hell of a lot more critical about sound quality than most, and honestly 256K or higher AAC is pretty transparent. It's really rare that I hear degradation from AAC encoding at that rate or higher (part of the reason I last messed with ALAC streams in MP4 files about five years ago).
