You'd do better not to rip it, instead dump it using a wav writer output
mplayer dvd://1 -chapter 2 -ao pcm -aofile chapter_2.wav
and if you want to automatie this, you could use something like my program
http://acidrip.thirtythreeandathird.net/lsdvd.html to find how many
chapters a given track has, and use that to loop a shell script o your own
choosing.
