AC3 Audio

I need to get the audio from the AC3 format to another format so I can create an AVI for a VHS tape. I rendered for DVD and have deleted all video and sounds files except the rendered mpeg video and AC3 sound file used for DAR file DVD production. Is there anyway to get the audio back into Vegas to re-render to AVI?

Do a websearch on "BeSweet" which is a program enabling conversion between many different audio formats including WAV and AC3.

I think actually there are many such programs, but I know BeSweet is one. See for example http://www.doom9.org/software.htm#audio

If you don't need to do any further editing, how about copying from the DVD in a DVD player connected directly to a VHS deck? This seems like the simplest and fastest option to me. You won't gain any quality by going back to AVI in between.

As said by jbeale, there are many such freeware programs, Besweet one of them. To pick your most compatible, try here:
