Hi Adam, It can be done:-

Step 1 - Place The VCD in your computer

Step 2 - Download and install vcd Gear http://www.vcdgear.com Run Vcd gear, in the Extraction/Conversion Pull Down Menu Select dat->mpeg, now click on the load button and go to the Drive that the vcd is in, look for a folder on the vcd called MPEGAV now select the file called avseq01.dat, there may be more files there if your vcd has chapters if that is the case select the chapter you want. Ok now choose where u want to save your mpeg on your computer and then click start, may take a few minutes.

Step 3 - Download another program called virtual dub http://www.virtualdub.org/ Start up Virtual Dub, Go to File> Open Video File and locate the mpeg you made from step 2. Now Go to File> and select save wav.. (this will save the sound from the mpeg)

Step 4 - Open up nero, select audio cd, find the wav you just saved, and make your cd - voila you now have an audio cd!

Hope this helps adam if you get stuck let me know.
