Ah OK I see now.

You can change the file extension to whatever you like, but it will only be useful when it describes accurately what the files actually contain. Changing the file name doesn't change the type of files; it's only an indicator to the computer hardware or software what type of audio encoding has been used.

There are programs that decode AC3 files direct to WAV: I just can't think of any offhand at the moment!

If your Nero version has an AC3 plugin, then you can get it to decompress the AC3 encoding to WAV, which can then be burned on the CD disc as CD Audio. As you say, from there you can re-rip from the CD to hard disk and they will be WAV files.

Could I ask where it says that the file type is .vob after changing file name?
