I think it's caused by either bad audio or video frames in the source. For me, it's usually audio. I seem to be having a lot of trouble encoding stuff reliably these days.
I'd love to find a tool that would scan a source file and warn about problems, as well as report the frame rate, size, etc. It's time consuming to find these in the middle of an encode, only to keep trying different fixes until it works.

How do i fix this?

You need to figure out if it's a video, or audio problem.
The approach I usually take is:
Save the audio to a WAV using Virtualdub, the try using toolame to convert to mpeg stream. Assuming that works, I then encode the video only using tmpgenc, then mux the 2 streams with bbmpeg (I think)
If it's not the audio, but virtualdub will play the file fine, you can either re-save the AVI with vdub, or frameserve it to tmpgenc.
