SVCD Audio Conversion

[hectma]

I have some SVCD files that I have been trying to convert to VCD format.
I looked around and DVD2AVI frameserving seems to be the easiest way to do this. I did this with one file and it worked just fine and dandy frameserving to TMPG. Now when I try to open up the .mpa file created by DVD2AVI, TMPG hangs and locks up. I tried wiping out and re-installing both TMPG and DVD2AVI....but the problem still occurs.
I then tried changing the DVD2AVI audio processing to "decode to wav", but it will not produce an audio file when I do this, just makes the .d2v file.

What I need is either another way to convert my SVCD to VCD (without taking up massive amounts of HD, IE converting to raw avi)....or some way to produce a wav file from the svcd rather than the .mpa that DVD2AVI produces.
Oh yeah, I tried using winamp because it is fairly good at opening just about any MPEG audio file, and it will not open the .mpa file created by DVD2AVI (this is not a fluke, I have tried creating several mpa files from various svcds and none of them open).

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

try de-muxing with tmpgenc, which will leave you with an .mp2 file.

then download dbpoweramp from www.dbpoweramp.com and use this to convert your MP2 to WAV.

once you've gotten the mp2 file, then you can encode the video only to VCD specs, and then mux w/the mp2 file--unless, of course, your SVCD audio is something other than 224, in which case, you'll need to reencode the audio to 224 and then mux w/the new video
