TMPGenc-Audio too large-VBR fixed, but theres another prob.

[sacred ff]

I load the avi into TMPGenc, everything's fine but the audio is way too large. So I checked the forums, and found a solution: Open VirtualDubMod and a warning will appear about VBR audio. So what I did was, I saved the WAV and then opened it up in TMPGenc with the avi
Video: The Avi
Audio: The WAV that I saved from the AVI.
Everythings fine... yay....... but

When I use Source Range to cut out the begining of the movie*, the encodin is great, everything's solved. But when I watch the movie file, the audio and video are TOTALLY not syncronized. The audio is sort of 12 seconds later than the video... When I don't use Source Range, everything's fine. But I don't want to burn 2 episodes on a CD. It's not worth it.

*(Cuz I want to remove the intros of the episodes I'm burning on a CD-r, SVCD, to be able to fit 3 episodes on a singel CD)

So I've been trying to fix this for the past week and now I give up.... help anyone?

------------------------------------------------
By the way, these are the things I tried:
1. I tried saving the movie without changing it (Direct Stream Copy) after fixing the VBR problem with VirtualDubMod. This time, when I play it, after around 10 seconds the video goes much faster, so the audio is no longer syncronized.

2. I tried cutting out the intro, direct stream copy saving the video WITHOUT fixing the VBR in VirtualDubMod. Then saving the WAV and loading them both up in TMPGEnc. The AVI I saved works perfectly this time (and without the intro!), but the audio frezzes for a second from time to time and it's no longer syncronized.............

3. As a last resort, I opened up the avi in Windows Movie Maker, and saving it as wmv. This time, the avi's quality becomes worse and it takes over an hour to do this (and I have more than 5 episodes with this problem...........:O

I really have no other ideas....


THX A BUNCH IN ADVANCE FOR THE PERSON WHO AT LEAST TRIES TO HELP ME!

How did this troublesome AVI come to be?

Encode the whole thing, without using source range, then edit the Mpegs using Mpeg tools in TMPGEnc.
