The ISO is packaged in 8 separate parts, 700 MB in size each, with an MDS to join them. I did this for those who store on CDs, although in this day and age it was probably unnecessary. If you’d like to join the parts to work with the proper single ISO, instead of burning them straight away, just open the MDS file with any ISO-editing software like PowerISO or MagicISO.

On account of the gigantic size and resulting 52 separate RS links it takes for one to get the ISO, I decided to also provide the option for those who don’t care about a proper DVD image, and rip the audio streams with DVD Decrypter and convert them to FLAC -8. Still, even then there are 33 RS links, but it does take out about 20 extra downloads.

My apologies to free users of RS :)

My method for ripping with DVD Decrypter is the norm: IFO mode, Enable Stream Processing, Demux. I also have included an Ogg Chapters file for those who wish to make a cue sheet; I myself don’t know how.
