I'm saving the VSE file from the DVR to a disc and then opening the VSE file on my computer using the program Video Server E that came with the DVR. When you open the file in Video Server E, it then gives you the option to convert to an avi file. I really appreciate your help. I have to turn this file in tomorrow and I'm stressing out about it. Normally, I've just recorded the video portion and never needed audio, now I need the audio to be there and it's not.
