You can use TMPGEnc, or any other .mpg encoder to demultiplex the video.

In TMPGEnc, click File > MPEG Tools > Simple Demultiplex. Pick the type of stream you want, i.e. MPEG 1 System (automatic) for VCD and put the video file in the Input area, then hit "Run". The result will be two files, one a M2V (video) file and a MP2 file, which is the audio. Then process the audio file however you want.

Yes. And u can forget about the M2V file if u only need the audio (ie, just blank it off). Best still, this demultiplex only takes just a short time (minutes or less), so don't think that your computer has freezed up...

I use Winamp to convert the MP2 into wav (also very fast), then burn to CD (45 minutes at 2X). And it works slick in my car player...
