It does, under Streams -> Stream List, then select the audio stream and hit the button marked "Save as WAV."

Are you using the Wizard, or are you manipulating the settings yourself? Also, check the resulting MPGs in a player on your computer before you burn them, to make sure that it's the player or burning program that's having problems.

*checks up on VirtualDubMod*

Ah dammit! :x

Anyways, that's the thing. The MPEGs play perfectely fine on my computer. It's just when I burn it into a VCD and play on my APEX AD-1000 DVD/VCD player, the video looks scrambled. El farlo mentions the fact that it's due to the video source.

Hmm... If the files have been bounced out to an uncompressed/lossless format before being encoded to MPEG, then the actual source shouldn't matter at all.

Do the burned CDs work with a computer DVD program (like PowerDVD or WinDVD or whatever), and have you tried your old VCDs in the Apex? If the burns work and the old VCDs have problems, too, I'd suspect your Apex is having problems playing VCDs.

If the burns don't work and/or the old VCDs work in the Apex, I'd take a look at your burning program.

The VCDs play well in Windows Media Player and WinDVD.
