Odd, I would expect your Womble product to be able to
do what you are trying, with no problem. I do what you
describe with www.VideoReDo.com , all the time, to turn
my old TDA authored DVDs into .mpg files for my Buffalo
TeraStation. Can't see why your DVR wouldn't play the
audio it had made, if it were there. Even if Womble changed
the audio, it should be into a DVD compatible format that
your DVR would easily recognize.

How does the "mpeg playing software on the computer"
describe the audio? Is it a format that your DVR can play?

Luck;
Ken
