As you called him a noob , i would like you to explain how it would be worse.

But before you do i will add>
AC3 to PCM is uncompressing.It will be the same my friend..NOT worse ,just a bigger AC3.Dolby on Linear

I will also add for Vlads benefit that if you recorded them onto VHS via a TV broadcast ,then the likely hood that they were mp2 at 192kbps is very high.Some "specials" would of been in AC3.
Rare for a PCM stream broadcast from yesteryear.

I tell you this so that if you do just bloat your audio to PCM,you at least will know 1 thing for sure and that is that whatever it was to start with ,it's still lossless from your master recording.

That...will not make it worse and could indeed upgrade it because if some audio was recorded as mp2 ,then the re-transfer to AC3 would be lossy from source recording.
