AFAIK it's not necessarily 24-bit. Supported depths are 16, 20 and 24 
bits at 48 or 96 kHz. Are you really sure your DVD has 24bit audio?

dvd::rip uses transcode to dump a given audio track to WAV. I personally
never had a 24bit audio DVD at hand and I don't know how transcode does
handle such DVD's. Probably ask in transcode-users@xxxxxxxxxx 
Additionally you could take a look how mplayer handles your DVD.
